Comments Thread For: Atlas: Povetkin To Have Three Fights Back To Back

[Lacrimosa]

What is this injury you keep talking about that supposedly slowed him down? It's evident that when he backed out of their first fight because he "hurt his ankle while running by tripping on the roots of a tree" was obviously a lie.

My issue is since he got the title shot by beating Chambers he did absolutely nothing for 2+ years but fight guys outside the top 30. It's only within the last 6 months or so that he's actually taken any steps to try and improve. IT's his ******ity more than anything that frustrates me about him.







Am i the only one who remembers this ad campaign in 2008. Povetkin and his promoters were confident. What the hell happened?

In Ukraine and Russia it is ROFLed over and forgotten as a one ugly mistake...

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

only becuz he hasnt faced 1 hall of fame challenger

how original...



I happen to have posted the exact same picture with the exact same line about a month ago, the difference being that it was about the last 4 opponents of Sam Peter


on top of being a ******ed Klitschko nuthugger, you literally use other people's jokes

I didn't steal your joke you moron.

I googled tomato cans and that picture came up.

Get a life you pathetic loser.

Hopefully one of the three opponents is an underrated flabber like Chauncy Welliver who knocks Povetkin out and puts an end to this whole shameful charade. Povetkin has turned into one of these:

Atlas is a terrible trainer and an awful commentator.

I think it's hilarious that everyone wants to blame Atlas for the regression of Povetkin's career.

He was already taking backwards steps before Atlas showed up and he has only continued the same behavior with Atlas around.

Also, Atlas should watch his mouth when talking about the Klitschkos because Povetkin isn't going to be a mandatory anytime soon and I don't see the Klits humoring him with a title shot as soon as he feels he is prepared.

Teddys skills as a trainer are weak if he's still protecting his fighter this much.

That sums it up nicely.

Teddy is putting the finishing touches on Povvie's career -- as in Povetkin is finished.

Povetkin is going to wake up one day and realize Teddy cost him $2 million bux.

Yep, that's it. Highest payday of his life, isn't that why he turned pro? To make some dough? He is never going to see that kind of money again, really dumb move on Povetkin's part. I am sure he is not starving with him being a gold medalist and all but I am sure he is not rolling in it either.

Like Wlad said recently; Povetkin has to become his own man at some point and make his own decisions and not let others dictate what he should do with his life. He is 31, over 100 amateur fights, gold medal in the Olympics, mandatory for almost 2 years, if he is not ready now, he will never be.

Atlas is just stroking his own ego here and Povetkin is too naive to realize that. Don't forget until recently, Atlas hasn't said one good thing about the Klitschkos, he always claimed that they were bums and that he could train anyone to beat them. That's why he took on the Povetkin project. Well now he is realizing that the task is a little harder than he though so he doesn't want to hurt his own ego by being proved wrong when Wlad or Vitaly destroy Povetkin, so he pulled Povetkin out. Povetkin should have fought Wlad, title shots for 4 belts and $2 million dolllars don't come around too often and Povetkin just failed to seize the biggest opportunity of his life.
