Comments Thread For: Ibragimov's Ex-Manager: Atlas Saved Povetkin From Defeat

[The Hammer]

What a wasted year 2010 was for Povetkin.

He fought just twice, both times against clubfighters not in the top 100 at heavyweight, on the advice of Teddy Atlas.

He ducked Dominick Guinn twice, in March and again in September, on the advice of Teddy Atlas. Guinn was then easily outboxer by Kubrat Pulev on Oct 30.

He ducked his mandatory shot at Wlad, on the advice of Teddy Atlas.

And he was recently completely dropped from the IBF rankings for refusing to participate in their proposed four-fighter eliminator, on the advice of Teddy Atlas.

Very sad.

Was Ibragimov ever ready to fight Klitchko ? Greenberdg commited frauda to get him a title shot to get last paycheck in boxing .

Funny how Povetkbiatch is claiming now that it's the color of the gloves and his hotel room is what made him pull out of a $2.5 million payday and a shot at the WBO, IBO, and IBF belts and spot for #1 HW in the world. Sasha is going the Diva "Vagina" Hayefaker route of hoping that people are ******ed and don't have a long memory, but we all remember that Atlas said "Povetkin is not ready".

I think Teddy Atlas, because he hates the Kitschkos and other white/European boxers, would sooner have Povetkin KOed by Haye than by Wladimir.

I said Atlas would ruin Povetkin when he first started as his trainer.

Haye will win by KO over Povetkin and Atlas will be satisfied. Teddy doesn't care about money because his father left him $millions.
