Comments Thread For: Povetkin: I'm Tired of Waiting, I Want Klitschko Title Shot

Guy need's to listen to teddy atlas when he say's your not ready.

Povetkin will have to beat David Haye to see if he really is worth Wlads time

Whoever beats Haye will get a title shot with the Kilt brothers

[Money Shot]

Which shouldn't be too hard. If Adamek doesn't win then there will be another dryspell of Klitschko opponents. Tua? Winner of Chisora-Fury? No thanks... One of the zillion belts Wlad has should be able to wedge in Povetkin as a challenger

But if Povetkin expects to get a $ contract like Haye's I'm afraid he'll go back to waiting.

He doesn't bring much to the table that's why he'll have to be a mandatory challenger like Solis was recently. Chisora or Fury represent another decent payday via UK PPV although neither is as good as Sasha. Will be curious how it works with Wlad having three marquee belts regards mandatory's and what organisation holds sway. Chisora was going to be a stay busy fight.

Get A real name on your resume first. Povetkin is good. He is still is not ready.


Klitschko fight ideas for next few fights:


Late this year or Early Next year: Chris Arreola


Summer next year: Tomasz Adamek, Alexander Povetkin


2013 early: Alexander Povetkin or Robert Helenus

lol The Klychko's aren't Haye. They usually fight around 3x a year. Arreola late this year then another 3 fights in 2012 i would imagine.

Shouldn't Povetkin have to fight Chagaev before demanding to fight a Klitschko? I mean if he wants to earn his shot isn't it best to earn it the right way? Povetkin is the one who pulled out twice from what this article. Now, I don't know if thats because he was scared or he had legit injuries. Only doctors know.

How in the hell did Chagev get back to the #1 spot???

[teddycanyon]

when was the last time Povetkin fought a top ten heavyweight? That idiot Teddy Atlas buried his career.

Chagaev has been the WBA's #1 for a while. He was Haye's mandatory, but Haye did everything he could to avoid fighting Chagaev.

The WBA top 3 are Chagaev, Povetkin, and Boytsov. The three should fight amongst themselves, because those fights could be interesting.

The top 4 in the Ring Magazine ratings are the Klitschkos, Haye, and Adamek, so it is nice to see the four of them in fights against each other this summer.

Beyond that, the rankings are Povetkin, Chagaev, Chambers, Dimitrenko, Boytsov, Helenius, and Arreola. It's hard to make a case for any of them being ready to challenge Wladimir. What is Povetkin waiting for? He needs to step up and fight someone tough. Helenius would be a great choice.

Seems like he isn't the only one who wants to avoid Chagaev. Obviously style wise promoters/fighters don't think they match up to well against Chagaev.
