    Disagreed with you on GGG/Canelo, but this is exactly right.


    Klitschko/Povetkin were 'too old'.....
    Martin/Parker/Whyte/Breazeale were either 'paper champions' or 'nobodies'.


    He's resume is right up there with anyone right now.

    So many ex world champions and undefeated challengers.

    No Canelo is in his prime, Mikey is in his prime. GGG is past prime and still competed at a high level and will still out perform guys younger than himselff not named Canelo Alvarez. Povetkin is past it but still had a hell of a performance against the best HW in the world and will still outperform most younger guys in the division. But instead of just giving props to guys who beat yours, you wanna continue to argue about age.
    Lol

    Takam was a mandatory and Povetkin was failing drug tests in 2016 when AJ fought Molina.
    You haven't even seen he fight so wtf are you saying he was exposed? Clown.

    I don’t get this “Joshua exposed” nonsense.

    I reckon most level headed people would know that a hard hitting heavyweight that has been well school in boxing from a very young age, with a fantastic amateur pedigree, would cause today’s younger fighters serious problems. I mean, your Joshua’s and Wilder’s in reality took up boxing as young adults.

    Anyhow, massive respect for both fighters.

    Maybe... But it also highlighted the importance of the body jab and body punching at heavyweight in general.

    Povetkin was just exposed as a light heavyweight in that ring! Even though his skills are top notch!

    I'm more surprised that Joshua didn't just blow him out in the first few seconds with glancing blows.

    Age isn't just a number. This fight just showed how horrible AJ is. He is a slow glass chin overrated fighter who will get exposed the moment he fights a guy who isn't pushing 87 years of age.

    Povetkin has always been a beast. Some of you guys just didn't/don't see it that way. Surprising as he seems the sort of fighter with a style and skillset that pretty much everyone would like, I tend to think.

    Dude was the best non-Klitschko HW of the Klitschko era. Terrible era, sure. But still a good feat.
