Comments Thread For: Rahman Not Stepping Aside For Povetkin vs Huck Clash

True. But why doesn't Povetkin just fight him on Feb 25 and get him out of the way?

Because no one wants to see Povetkin blow through an undeserving Rahman who is PAST the point of being washed up instead of a very live Huck. Those fraud ratings need to be ignored and this is a good case for doing it.

Rahman being rated #1 is someone's idea of a sick ***ing joke!!!! He isn't rated in the top 16 by ANY other organization except the WBA who have him as #1!!!!!!

You'd actually think Povetkin would be thrilled at getting another ancient stiff to fight. Isn't that why he wanted that fraud belt in the first place?

But Povetkin's WBA "world" title is just as fraudulant as Rahman's #1 ranking.

And Povetkin has been fighting opponents who are worse than Rahman (Oruh, Nolan, Mora) and Boswell was age 42.

I'd give him a pass for Boswell who may have been a bit old but was a tough quality heavyweight who was rightly rated in the top twenty and long overdue a title shot. Took him out in style too.

But at least Povetkin wants to fight Huck who would be seen as a LIVE challenge unlike the spent and undeserving farce Rahman.
