Povetkin deserves a title shot on his own steam. But to say that if, by the luck of all of the Gods and lucky charms in the universe, Price would have won that fight that he would have gotten a crack at a world title, is like saying Audley Harrison deserved his shot against Haye for the WBA title after losses to Rogan and all else, even Sprott.
Before the fight , it was officially given the status of a final eliminator, so if Price had won , Yes he would’ve been AJ’s mandatory. TBH people have done a lot less to earn a shot than beat Povetkin, so it would’ve been relatively fair.
But as we know, Price never won and was never likely to, so it’s all conjecture really.
