    This. If Povetkin comes in shape, which I expect he will he'll bring much better pressure than Parker did. Also, Povetkin can punch while Parker can't crack an egg. I don't know what his gas tank will be like in the later rounds at 39, but Povetkin knowing this is his last chance to capture a world title will most likely be ready to go to war with Joshua just like Ortiz pulled out all the stops against Wilder despite coming up short.

    These posts were just shortly after he lost to Bellew, they were worst when he came back and beat De Mori.
    If haye fought AJ before that second defeat to Bellew, there'd be many talking Haye up as being dangerous and it being a 50/50, and I would have come along and said the fight is a joke and we'd be having the same discussion that we'ere having now.

    Even that Charles Martin was being talked up as being dangerous :lol:

    AJ could fight Frank Bruno in a grudge match and there'd be many of his fanboys talking Frank up

    ''Frank has stayed in shape since retiring, you never know what he's still got left in the tank, power is the last thing that goes from a fighter''

    ''All credit to Josh for taking this fight, if Frank was still active he'd be no 2 in the rankings''

    It's this kind of fandom nonsense which I find ridiculous.

    All the credit should be going to Povetkin, since despite all the setbacks and at age 38, he is still willing to go and chase for a title against a young powerhouse on roids who will be protected in every way imaginable.

    Fixed

    I assume you thought old man Ortiz vs was a waste of time too for a young prime Wilder. But somehow Wilder barely scraped through. How is that possible 38 year old drug free Ortiz like Povetkin was ready for the taking right, just like Povetkin now. Hmmm maybe Wilder just isn't that good.

    Minds and opinions can be changed

    Besides when I said that, it was long before I'd seen him face Price prior to his drug ban. Watching that fight made me realise, that Povetkin is a mere shadow of his former glory.

    Believe you me, if I felt Alex had a chance, I'd offer a breakdown on how I think he would be victorious.

    All Alex has is a punchers chance, which will be taken away by the hands of the referee and AJ loosening his wraps to take the steam off any onslaught so he can get a breather and break up momentum.

    Ortiz wasn't serving a long term ban. Povetkin was inactive for a very long period of time and he's had two fights since his layoff.

    You wouldn't expect Fury to jump into the ring and have a good chance of beating AJ after facing Seferi and Francesco Pianeta, would you?

    So why on earth do you think Povetkin has a chance?

    Ortiz was far more active, is taller than Alex and never tasted defeat. There can be no comparison, so I suggest you try again..

    Povetkin's physique, compared to Joshua's is sufficient enough alone to suggest that these 2 don't even belong in the same ring together and that it would be a disgrace to professional sports if those two guys of insane and dangerous size differences are allowed to even fight against each other.

    Povetkin is literally a near obese, supposed 'elite' level fighter. Strip him off his fat, he is no bigger than your average cruiser weight. He has 0 business competing against absolute physical specimens and behemoths like Joshua and putting his health at insane risk. The only way this even becomes a fair fight, is if Povetkin is allowed to take PEDs that literally makes him as big as Joshua in terms of functional size. Otherwise, this is a nonsensical fight. And any obscure PED isn't sufficient enough. It has to be a PED that literally makes Povetkin as big and muscular as Joshua in terms of functional size. Otherwise, the PED will be disregarded as ineffective and useless.

    This is Alexander Povetkin, a fat, small, pudgy and chubby pudding:

    And this is Anthony Joshua. An insane physical specimen and a giant behemoth:

    This potential bout is literally a comedic circus event and not even a legitimate or a credible sporting event to even respectfully discuss about.

    This fight betrays human right violations when we look at the insane size difference between these 2 creatures. It's almost as if this is a fight between two different animal species altogether. Such is the size and physical difference where Joshua literally looks like a T-Rex whilst Povetkin looks like a penguin. Let that sink in!

    This is practically like a T-REX (Joshua) against a housecat (Povetkin). Such is the mismatch!

    Anything short of Anthony Joshua literally knocking Povetkin out inside the first few seconds of the first round whilst putting Povetkin to sleep in concussive fashion, would expose Joshua as an INSANE feather fist and as a TOTAL fraud.

    Simply beating Povetkin isn't good or sufficient enough. Since It has to be via KO. And a KO alone isn't good enough either, since it has to also be a concussive KO where Povetkin is put to sleep and even that isn't enough, since it has to be done in the first few seconds of the first round.

    Considering what has been said multiple times commonly about Povetkin supposedly nearly losing to Price. If Joshua can't fulfill the standard that has been set, then he gets exposed as an insane feather fist and a fraud.

    Joshua gets 0 credit for winning this fight. And receives only criticism if he fails to fulfill the expectation. And if he does fulfill the expectation, then he is only doing what he's supposed to do and therefore deserves no credit.

    This is like a 30 year old adult vs his 5 year old son in a mismatch type of a match up. And it has to be treated as such!

    I couldn't have summed it up better myself.

    The size difference is beyond a laughable, it would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that Povetkin is at a real risk of of receiving a world of hurt and that's not even taking into account the 10 year age gap.

    Yet we will continue to hear from the sycophants how it's

    ''50/50''

    ''it's as dangerous as fighting wilder''.

    ''There was no one else he could fight''

    ''3rd best heavyweight on the planet''

    ''AJ is brave for taking this risk'' with personalised ref, home crowd and judges selected by the hearn family

    Someone tell me the last heavyweight Champion that had never defended their titles outside of their own country?

    It's the equivalent of Mr Olypmia Roelly Winklaa fighting a clinically obese stumpy 5'5 60 year old diabetic on parkinson meds, who has just began walking after being becoming accustomed to sitting in a wheelchair for a year.

    Lol what the hell are you going on about, Povetkin just fought Price before going into this fight. He's fought 3 times in the last year prior to this shot at Joshua.That's not inactive, Ortiz was less active than Povetkin was going into the Wilder fight only having 1 fight vs the unknown Martz prior to facing Wilder.

    Where was your Ortiz doesn't stand a chance vs Wilder thread prior to that fight?

    Povetkin is the 2nd most dangerous heavyweight behind only Anthony Joshua and just ahead of Joseph Parker.

    Luis Ortiz, would It have mattered? Povetkin is mandatory and you're slaughtering Joshua for that.

    Joshua would have got slaughtered similar to how Wilder was, Ortiz is old and with a "best win" of Bryant Jennings.

    As for not fighting overseas, well you do know AJ has had 21 fights, his career is still very young, I'm sure he will fight abroad at some point.

    How long or ho many defences was it before Tyson defended his titles overseas? Holyfield? Bowe? Wilder?

    I could reverse the last question and say.. why would Wilder turn down an offer 10-15 times more than he has ever been paid?

    The negotiations have been a joke, both sides are to blame, I don't believe either side, do you?


    There you go, justified.

    If this is as farcical as you say, it should be easy for you to name 5, no, let's make it 3 more dangerous fights for Joshua?
