in a certain way, we can't really blame Atlas for wanting that Povetkin gets more fights under his belt before facing Wlad
Sasha has had 19 pro fights up to now
when he first had a title shot, Wlad had... 35 pro fights
so Wlad had way more experience as a pro when he first fought for a world title
Povetkin definitely went up the rankings too fast, probably because there aren't a lot of good contenders out there these days
only 19 fights to get prepared for a W. Klit type of opponent/champion is not a lot, it probably is not enough, when Wlad K. had 35 fights to prepare for a blown-up middleweight in Byrd
if he gives it his all for his next bouts and that he faces people who will make him work and get better, I have no problem with Atlas program
if the fans and the Klits want real challengers, those challengers got to be prepared , glorified sparring sessions aren't very entertainingComment

Wladimir Klitschko was SEVEN years younger than Povetkin is now when he won his first world title in 2000 at the age of 24.
Povetkin is age 31! If he's not ready now, he never will be.
Guillermo Rigondeaux, who had a long amateur career like Povetkin, is fighting for a world title in his 7th pro fight.Comment

here is Freedom fighter-aka Tunney- aka the penis size checker on the beach - aka the white supremacist - aka the man who won't come out of the closet
I don't suffer ******s like you and Steelhammer :*******: gladly
period
using other people's jokes isn't cool, it's ******ed
it must really suck to be me ?
I have 2500 posts from 2007 up to now
you have close to 30000 posts for a shorter period of time, that's without counting the alts you probably have
I wonder whose life sucks the most and who it sucks the most to be
, because it is obvious that your life is this internet site, and your job is to nuthug the Klits, bash their detractors and pass on your white supremacist propaganda

Please don't compare Klit to other all time greats.. He hasn't even beat 1 future hall of famer.

Who is Rigondeaux fighting for a World title?Wladimir Klitschko was SEVEN years younger than Povetkin is now when he won his first world title in 2000 at the age of 24.

And, I don't think Atlas issue is that Povetkin is not ready to fight for a World Title. His issue is due to Povetkin inactivity due to injury is not ready to fight Wladimir Klitschko.
The world title has nothing to do with it. It is Wlad is where the problems are.
Look at like this if Ray Austin was the champ or Audley Harrison were the champs. I think Atlas would make that fight.
And, if Wlad didn't have a World title Atlas would still not make that fight. Because, he feels he is not ready for Wlad.
So Wlad winning a World title 7 years younger, Rigondeaux going for a World title in his 7th fight(which is news to me) is irrelevant. Because, it is not about being ready to fight for a World is about being ready to fight Wladimir Klitschko.
However, you might be right in that if he is not ready now he might never be.
But, really who is Rigondeaux fighting for a World title?Comment

Dmitry Pirog recently won a world title in his 17th pro fight.
Kostya Tszyu won a world title in his 14th pro fight, if I remember correctly.
People who had longer amateur careers at the top level generally don't require as much pro experience.
I understand what you're saying about preparing for Wlad requiring more experience, though. Povetkin hasn't been fighting the right opponents in Nolan and Mora to prepare for someone like Wlad.Comment
