David Haye vs Alexander Povetkin

I'm more happy for Povetkin if anything. He went quiet on us after a little bluster off names like Donald, Byrd and Chambers (very decent win IMO).

Like Haye, he's career was also taking a nosedive after scrapping a Kiltschko fight (for whatever reason) so it's kinda befitting that these two are making a fight. Povetkin is a very good fighter, I'm really not sure what has been going on with him lately? In theory this could be a great fight what ever the outcome... I just hope Teddy hasn't messed with his head

Isn't Povetkin an Olympic gold medal winner?

Yup at the 2004 Olympics.

I'm surprised he is still with Teddy Atlas. I thought the way he came out and publicly said that he wasn't ready to fight Wladimir was very strange. Must've absolutely shattered his confidence.
