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

[Earl-Hickey]

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

he aint kid though is he.

I'd say none of the above.Sasha wants atlas as his trainer.grant lost his confidence ling before atlas joined.Lewis killed him then he took 15 months off & broke his ankle on first punch by mccline.was out another 14 months.do the math .almost 2.5 years he didn't fight.custard has never been the same after his near 2 years off,maskaev never the same after injuries....atlas is not the problem.besides haye is up next I bet...atlas will get him into shape to fight haye not wlad or vitali.Sasha is still high in 3 organizations rankings.I know Sasha wants to keep atlas & he blasted sauerland for looking out for themselves & not their fighter...

I justwatched my Michael grant collection this weekend.12 fights & atlas was not the problem.manny steward said many times he isn't the same fighter after the lennox fight.I watched each fight twice.making copies for tye fields to study...

Your right hes 31 and started off with good wins, he needs to do something decent, I'm not suggesting he go after K bros right away but he should fight better fighters.

[Walt Liquor]

rematch chambers now. see if that fight was a confidence problem. he appears to be regressing lately in his style and oppostion. maybe he's unlearning some previous bad habits, i don't know

[SN!PER]

He's got quite a collection of gold medals. He has the resume for big fights, just no hunger. They're probably trying to play it smart and look for fights that are somewhat profitable without being damaging to his record (or health).

[SN!PER]

If he isn't ready by now, he'll never be ready.

[dvb]

hes the no 2 ranked for WBA.

if chageav doesnt get passed,then povetkin will get a shot at haye's title.

[Poet682006]

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?

Probably for the same reason he's been a pro for 6 years and only has 21 fights: He's not serious about his career and he's pissing it away.
