Comments Thread For: Povetkin Provided With a Path To Klitschko By The IBF

[Pirao]

Dear IBF, I've got a suggestion. Make Povetkin face Chambers, Boytsov or Dimitrenko. If he will not fight any of them - remove him from ratings completely!

He has already been removed from the rankings I think.

lets see what he does....i don't think he has said no yet has he?

He will. The man's confidence is shattered beyond all repair.

Yes. The story was posted here recently, but was probably written a couple of weeks ago.

Povetkin has since then said NO to participating in the four-fighter eliminator, after being advised to do so by Teddy Atlas.

He was then dropped from the new IBF rankings, which were released yesterday:

They've removed Mormeck as well, because he turned down participating in the eliminator, and added two big men: Thompson and Helenius.

Damn povetkin running

It's pathetic and sad.

Atlas won't let Povetkin enter the IBF eliminator tournament. Povetkin will continue fighting tomato cans. What a waste of talent. Another career ruined by the idiotic lunatic Teddy Atlas.
