Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin set for september 22nd in Wembley

Sure! A pudgy, chubby, 6 foot 1 guy with astronomically less muscle mass and size is somehow on PEDs that will somehow significantly enhance his performance but a 6 foot 6 guy with no visible fat that is an insane physical specimen having muscles bulging all over his body and a truck like six pack is somehow 100% clean?

Do you even read what you write?

Anything short of any PED's making Povetkin literally as big and muscular in terms of functional size as Anthony Joshua will be useless.

This is like arguing that a 6 year old child on PEDs is going to pose some unfair risk to a 30 year old adult in a boxing match. No, it wouldn't! Unless the supposed PEDs make that 6 year old kid as big, strong and muscular as that 30 year old adult.

Povetkin has never come close to the size and muscularity that Joshua possesses.

 

true, but its not actually a bodybuidling contest though

 

No, but punching power and physical strength.

 

Depends on which Povetkin we get... the destroyer and pumped Povetkin.. or the lethargic go through the motions Povetkin.

 

I'm predicting the longest first 6 rounds that AJ has faced to date. If he gets through them, which is by no means certain, then Sasha could face the longest 6-12 in his long career. AJ to finally break a very brave resistance in the championship rounds.

 

Fantastic fight, just what the division needs.

 

Who's your gripe against? The WBA for their ranking of Povetkin or Joshua for fighting his mandatory?

 

Yes indeed, Joshua cannot compete with Povetkins punching power and combination punching.

 

Most dangerous fight out there for Joshua right now and yet again he takes it. Who is Deontay fighting?

 

I think stamina is as much a goal as those two. At least when it comes to EPO or TUE's.

 

I love this pedophile's use of emojis.

 

There aren't any such thing as 'stamina' divisions in combat sports. Only weight divisions exist, and for a reason too.

In heavyweight boxing more so than any other weight division, size, physical strength and punching power are the most important attributes and significantly more important than stamina.

Manny Pacquiao and Vasyl Lomachenko already have far superior stamina than Povetkin or Joshua. Yet, even if they're also both pumped with the maximum amount of stamina PED's a human can possibly be pumped with, they still won't arguably survive, even a single round against Anthony Joshua and it's possible both together wouldn't even make it out of the first round against Joshua if Joshua really wanted to hurt them, irrespective of how much stamina they have.

Anything short of PED's making Povetkin literally as big, muscular and strong as Joshua will be useless. No amount of stamina injections is going to level the playing field for Povetkin against Joshua. A T-Rex doesn't need much stamina to literally stomp on and squash little mouses that possess far greater stamina. The same applies here with this ridiculous and comical match up.

 

How does Povetkin hurt Joshua, if his hardest and most powerful punches were literally just bouncing off the chin and body of Christian Hammer with literally 0 effect? Povetkin landed flush, maximum powered punch after maximum powered punch repeatedly on Hammer but still couldn't even put a dent on him. Never mind KO him. And Hammer was literally walking through Povetkin's best punches with a smile on his face at times, almost as if he was tickling from how feather fisted Povetkin's punches are. Rather than being hurt.

How do you explain that? You do understand the difference between Joshua and Hammer in every department, right?

 

If you watch HW boxing you'll see that gassing is a big problem with the bigger guys. There's lots of examples of fantastic physical specimens that after 5 or 6 rounds are next to useless because all that muscle requires a lot more oxygen. At that point even the strongest guy can be easy meat so someone who can survive into the middle to later rounds needn't be one of the monsters who you talk of.

 

Hammer was content to lose every single round just to get through that fight. Joshua can't afford to take that attitude. Povetkin has KO power with either hand. You don't give him sufficient credit. The man is a quality boxer.
