POVETKIN'S LATEST OPPONENT: THE WORST EVER?

I seldom use such a phrase, but 'LOL'.

Please Povetkin fans come out and defend his latest opponent: Andrzej Wawrzyk.

This man is not a world champion.

He has yet to box a world championship calibre opponent, yet his 'defences' already tally a higher number than men would beat him and all his opponents on one night.

Awful doesn't do justice.

His last opponent (very overweight, totally shot Rahman) was probably worse.

I was about to say, that version of Rahman is definitely the worst heavyweight title challenger I can think of, not counting WBO defences.

You're right, not counting WBO that Hasim Rahman was the absolute worst ever. He even limped to the ring as I recall.

That being said - this unknown challenger may yet surpass him!

Povetkin's belt, in anybody's right mind, can not be described as a 'world championship'. It's lower than a WBO title fight in my opinion.
