Next for Povetkin

Hats off to povetkin he came in in good condition and tried to do what everyone says they are going to do v wlad.. Lost the fight but he looked like an interesting contedor.. I thought he was going to get destroyed but he was very tough and quick and a lot fitter than he looked in his previous fights, especially v huck...
If he continues with this aggresiveness and fittness levels he could be in some great fights and beat a lot of the other contedors..

Who would be a good fight for povetking next, I would like to see a huck rematch!

Forget a rematch with Huck, he should never have went there in the first place. Diva Haye will not fight him but I would like to see him in with Adamek or even Vitali.

He'd be a great opponent for Wilder or Tyson Fury, but of course neither of those will happen. I can't say I'd want to see him fight again after that showing honestly, it was ugly from him as well. The guy was allowing himself to get tied up and leaned on almost as often as Wlad was doing it, and he made no adjustments nor did he show any desperation imo. Obviously a very tough guy who came to fight, but he doesn't have any real power or do anything terribly well.

To be honest it was the first time I've seen Pov. I have no idea how good of a fighter he is as he couldn't fight this one. Guess I'll check out youtube and watch him actually fight.

his fight v huck was pretty entertaining... very rough and wild though and povetkin looked exhausted after 6 rounds for some reason... He's a skilled fellow good at sticking a couple of punches together but he isnt brilliant at anything... good allrounder though and he gets in there.. I dont think he is too great at avoiding punches though :SS:

I'd like him to fight Chisora or Boytsov, maybe Areola or Fury

v boystov would be a good opponent it would be interesting to see if this boystov fellow really is someone who would be deserving of a title shot, it has been reported recently wladimir was considering this fellow as an opponent

There are alot of decent names I would like to see him fight but lets be real. The WBA will once again be vacant and I'm sure Povetkin will be the #1 guy and he will probably fight a non deserving contender to make him a 2 time champion. So with that being said it will probably be Povetkin vs Luis Ortiz in Russia. The WBA is a joke.

After Haye puts Fury in a coma Povetkin should try to get that fight. If he were to get past Haye he could get another kick at the cat with Vitali.
