He'll be like a promiscious woman in a small town: everybody will want a crack at him because they think he's easy.
Rahman, Holyfield...
And I think Bernard Hopkins and Antonio Tarver will want to improve their legacy with a HW belt.
David Haye was probably licking his chops when he saw how easy Povetkin was to hit. Watch for him to come out of his so-called "retirement" and try and secure a shot at Povetkin.

Not a world champion. Just a WBA regular champion. A worthless title in a world full of devalued champions. Worthless to everybody but the WBA.

Povetkin barely beat a rusty Chagaev. Liakhovich would have destroyed him if they had been fighting instead last night. Povetkin is a pretender.

Emmanuel Steward said the WBA is a disgrace for having more than one champion.
He says the casual fans are already confused and turned off by all the different sanctioning organizations.

Having 4 (5 imo - the IBO does things a lot better than most, so why exclude it?) belts is stupid, then when each of those belts gets split you could easily end up with 6 or 7 "champions" per division. Absolute madness.
