Carlos Takam hints at wanting a rematch with the Joshua vs. Povetkin winner...

Takam's a **** who didn't do anything but lose to good fighters, so is Chisora and Takam lost to him too.

 

Semi shot I'd say. He might be able to roll it back against Whyte out of spite but that's it IMO. He looked pretty poor in the rounds before he landed that KO out of nowhere against Takam.

 

Takam is kidding himself if he thinks he's getting a rematch with either, he just the jackpot by Pulev being injured but he's lost three of his last five and his best win still four years ago against Tony Thompson.

He generally gives anyone a decent fight but he needs to get a couple of top 20 wins under his belt before he can push for any sort of **** and I don't think he will at his age.

Still though I'd be happy to see him rematch Chisora or fight any of Whyte, Ortiz, Miller, Ruiz, Kownacki, Hrgovic or the winner of Price/Kuzmin. Plenty of good fights for him.

 

Unless Hearn wants to throw him a few quid to fight either Price or Allen, i feel Joyce or Hygovic is next up for Takam. Maybe Jarrel Miller.

 

Meh, if it's not Wilder I'd rather Joshua fight people he hasn't fought before or Dillian Whyte again. Not too interested personally in the rematch.

 

Don't think he was calling anyone out tbh. He is just saying he is keen to see a couple of good heavyweight scraps...

 

Wilder is the one who rematches old bums

 

After loosing to Chisora, a fight between Takam and the winner of Povetkin vs Joshua doesn't make sense.

 

Perfectly said.

 

Let me fix the thread title for you IB.
Carlos Takam hints at wanting a payday against the Joshua vs Povetkin winner.

 

Well, good for him. I wouldn't mind a big payday neither and I deserve it as much as Takam.

 

Takam is no more than a journeyman - waste of time.

 

I think Takam is 2/3 the way to being a great HW, but without that final third he's never going to make it. He's as tough as anyone in the division, can take a shot, many shots in fact. He's in superb physical condition with a great engine. He's decent technically. He just lacks power sufficient to put opponents away.

I think he's a class act in the way he conducts himself and the professionalism with which he goes about his work. I just worry his toughness and heart along with lack of power are going to result in him taking too much damage in the ring and paying for it later.

 

This might be a unpopular opinion, but I think the plumber David Price does a number on him. His chin is gone, from the beating the bodybuilder gave to him. That's the only explanation I see from the Chisora fight. We know David can crack, he might even keep him down this time.....
