Haye offered Wawrzyk the fight, but Andrew chose Povetkin because it a bigger payday and it's for a "world title".

No, whats funny is when Haye was going to fight him he was a "No chin bum" and Haye should have been fighting better fighters. Now its ok and a good move by Povetkin because this guy is so worthy of fighting for even the phoniest of paper titles.

Who said that? I'm Polish like Wawrzyk and I think this is ****ty fight and he doesn't deseve it at all. The only justification for Povetkin would be that this is stayin busy fight before Klitschko but Wawrzyk is terrible both for Povetkin and Haye. And fight is in what one month? Povetkin will be knocked out cold by Wlad, seriously after what Huck did to him I think Klitschko with his punching power can literally destroy that guy

Povetkin is such a joke that he is one of those rare fighters that nobody takes seriously.

He fought Donald/Byrd/Chambers starting in his 13th fight in 2007/08 and really hasn't faced anyone better since.

Most of the Klitschko nuthuggers have expressed this. Check out any Haye vs Wawrzyk thread.
