Do you guys class Povetkin as a "World Champion"?

[LeG00N]

nah, he's only a titlist

which means he's a contender

same way Rios Chavez, Morales, Canelo, Pirog, Bute, etc aren't real Champions they're just titlist

Accidentally answered yes.

No, absolutely not.

Teddy Atlas "Povetkin is the heavyweight champion of the world"

Povetkin has a normal looking girlfriend/wife if thats his gf/wife. Now adays you always see some super model looking gf/wives like if a person is trying to show off how shallow they are.

As of now he is a world class fighter but not a champion, but when the dominance of the Klitschkos is done he might be one of the elite heavyweights...if he survives till then.

I agree with this comment. He might have a belt around his waist, but he is not the "real" champion in his division.

[Chaos]

Absolutely not. The worst part is he kept turning down fights with K2 and then gets a paper belt instead. I blame Atlas more than him though.

That ain't his girlfriend I think that's the Russian translator.

Anyway, no to the question as everyone should vote.
