    Why won't Alexander Povetkin fight a top 50 heavyweight?

    Why does Alexander Povetkin keep fighting soft opponents like Nolan, Firtha, Mora and Oruh?

    Is it because he's afraid of losing?

    Are his handlers over-protecting him?

        Poll is up.

        What do you think? Will he step up to better opposition this year?

          Who is Povetkin fighting next?

          When does this clown and his management believe will be the right time for him to have a title shot?

          How much money is he earning fighting bums?

          What did he make for the Firtha fight?

            He's supposed to fight again in April vs. TBA, perhaps on the April 2 Sauerland card.

              He should fight Peter, Arreola or Tua next.

                  He needs to do something man. For someone who is supposed to be one to give the Klitschko bros a good fight he sure is doing absolutely nothing with his career. Even his handlers say he isn't ready. When the heck will he be then? Cause fighting C and D class fighters doesn't prepare you for a Klitschko.

                    Give the kid a few more years to get seasoned like Teddy wants.
