It's just fully hit me the real chance that one of Price, Fury and in a different bent Haye could be a world champion this time next year, mainly due to.............
The K's might be dreadful to watch but what the hell would the heavyweight division be like without them? Rahman looks like a whale and Povetkin looks like that's who he has trained to face!!!!!!!

The concerning thing is that the heavyweight title is meant to be the blue ribbon division for our sport. Now I know Povetkin was a class amatuer, that his WBA title is not 'full' and that it is only one of four serious(ish) world titles but that image will find it's way into various websites and newspapers and people will piss themselves at it! It makes the sport look like a laughing stock and in no way will help to improve boxings image
On a side note Povetkin looks to have given up the ghost to me. He dumped his US training routine, has stopped calling out the K's, his recent performances have been very ordinary and his conditioning looks half arsed. He'll just cuff the likes of Rahman around in front of German and Russian crowds, picking up risk free pay days and then finish off with a big payday vs Wlad where he will do little. Cynical but likely IMO
