whatever the reason the ibf had to strip fury and try to hand his title
to glazkov, i'm glad their plans were spoiled. i would be fine with martin
fighting anyone on the ibf top 15 list for a voluntary, but the ibf makes
up their own rules as they go and would pull out some nobody off a barstool
and rank them if that is what martin wanted. they have had a president go
to prison for money laundering and bribes and had other corruption scandals.
all the belts are bad, but whatever leads to the most bribes will be whoever
the ibf approves.

Wilder dodges Povetkin.

Fury beats Wlad, then has a unification fight with Wilder.
Fury dodges Ortiz.

Then they have a rematch or 2.

Ortiz, Povetkin, Joshua and Parker will be left holding their d1cks for a while yet

If I did have to pick someone, it would definitely be Andy Ruiz Jr.

I don't know much about the politics behind the gloves, but I heard once that it's allowed to ignore the mandatory (Povetkin) if you unify two belts. So with a bit of bad luck Povetkin needs to wait another year...

After that performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DszKy1KBBfw he shouldn't be near belt fight!

This guy is probably the worst HW champion since Rahman.

Maybe they will do what they have with Wilder, dodge anyone decent.

Stiverne and Spilkva aren't decent? They surely were before Wilder beat them.

I meant once he won the title, Stiverne is ok. Spilkva really isn't that good a fighter, he highlighted how average Wilder is.

The only thing you're showing is that Klitschko should have been punished by the referee, Klitschko used his ellbows more then his gloves and Klitschko clinched more during that fight as during any other fight in the entire history.
Povetkin somehow never got the referee in his advantage, he needs to work himself up, just like the way he tried against Klitschko.

You could see against Fury how much Klitschko was used to have the ref in his advantage, he was even cheering half a second before Fury turned out to be the winner. The difference between Fury and Povetkin is dat Povetkin is superior in every single way, except in size and reach.

Ye, sure.
At event that took place in Moscow and organized by Russian promoter and with half of Russian Duma and KGB generals as audience - the referee ripped Povetkin from winning!
HW division is for large size guys with wide reach. If you are short, you must compensate it by speed - like Tyson or Marciano. It is not women gymnastics - no points for grace and beauty
