Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin in Position To Fight David Haye

[MrFynest]

I give Povetkin a shot to beat Haye. Will probably be his best challenge since moving to heavyweight. Knowing Haye he'll probably pick a washed up tune-up fight.

Povetkin would be a better choice than Mormeck or Holyfield, but either Haye or Povetkin won't want this fight. And anyone who says Povetkin is better than Adamek, I believe Adamek would beat Povetkin. Povetkin has been feasting on bums for almost 3 years now. His last good win was against Chambers almost 3 years ago!! He didn't look that great in a few of his last fights. He has declined in my opinion.

If Haye isn't going to fight Wlad or Vitali (he isn't), then I have no issue with him fighting the #1 contender, except I believe this fight will never happen either.

Did you guys realize Povetkin hasn't fought a quality opponent in 3 years?

Yes I notice this also. As much as I hate to say it Atlas was right that Povetkin may not be ready for a Klitschko because he has not been fighting fights that can prepair him for a fight with them.(I do think it is funny that atlas said that Povetkin wasn't ready for a klitschko fight,but later stated that they would be interested in a fight with HAYE,BUT also said he thinks Haye could beat Wlad lol.(of course Atlas always says that so and so fight can beat them,he seems to really dislike them for some reson)

Klitschko's fans told me that Haye gets to choose his next opponent and he would be an old shot fighter, damn liars.

If Haye chooses Povetkin, I will have some respect for him.

But I believe he'll try to fight another faded old boxer like Mormeck, unless he's forced to fight the shot Chagaev.

You do bring up a good point here that hasnt been mentioned yet. Povetkin/Atlas might not want Haye...

If thats the case, I would like to see Haye take on Dimentrenko. That would be better than Aids-patient Chagaev.

I would rather see a David Haye vs Denis Boytsov fight ,he seems pretty tough and quick, and has not really had a top contender yet and about the same size as Haye.Dimentriko seems to have problems with fast fighters(Chambers)

Dimitrenko would be an easy fight for Haye.

Povetkin or Boytsov would be risky though.

This would be great, and the winner hopefully fights Wlad.

Look for the Hayefaker to duck Povetkin...

Watch for Haye to suddenly change his tune and become willing to face Chagaev in Germany.

If Haye has a choice between Chagaev and Germany and Povetkin in the UK, he'll choose the shot Chagaev, who looked OLD AND SOFT in his last fight.

He'll avoid Povetkin, Arreola, Chambers and Boytsov, and of course the Klitschkos, at all costs.

Well,.. lets wait and see,if somehow Haye does avoid Potvekin,and ends up fighting a Mormeck, Rahman,or Holyfield or god forbid a Valuev rematch,even the most adement Haye supporter will have to agree that Haye does not want to fight a top heavy weight contender.If picks Povetkinor Denis Boytsov, I give Haye credit, if does a turn around and desideds to Fight Chagaev in Grrmany (who did look bad in his last fight) I will give him partial credit .

So that's how mandatories work eh? If it can't happen in the champ's country of choice it just can't happen at all? I don't get why Hayes can't fight in Germany.
