Povetkin aims to fight for at least 2 more years

I think Povetkin still has something left in the gastank. He could probably sneak his way into another title shot if he plays it smart.

 

I'd like to see Povetkin retire and get out with his health. He was affected by a lot of Hunter's punches, a few times he seemed unsteady walking and once he went to the wrong corner. I have always enjoyed watching Povetkin and have always considered him one of the best inside fighters I've seen. He looked all right Saturday, but IMO he has lost a step or two from how he performed in the Takam fight and he seemed to be affected more by the punches. If he can afford to get out, I hope he does.

It's going to be hard for Povetkin or Hunter to stay relevant in the heavyweight division in the next few years. There are a lot of big, strong, heavyweights with excellent amateur experience coming up. Hrgovic, Makhmudov, Ajagba, Majidov, despite not having a lot of pro fights are probably ready for anybody now. After watching Majidov, I was thinking that he could have stepped in with Joshua or Ruiz on Saturday with a live chance to win in his second pro fight. If I controlled Hrgovic, Makhmudov, Ajagba, or Majidov I'd be looking for a title shot, I wouldn't spend time fighting and taking damage in "step up" fights that they don't need. I wouldn't bet on 40 year old Povetkin or Hunter against any of them.

 

Hopefully we see him target wilder i still am interested in that bout

 

Joshua will 100 percent want this fight for his legacy.

 

Hunter was billed as the next big thing to dominate the division

The fans got humbled

 

Whyte is the next big thing and he will dominate the division

 

He really won't though, stop being silly now lads!

Lol

 

If Daniel says he will, then he will.

 

Aims to =/= will. I think he has a bit left in him. Enough to have another eliminator perhaps, a big fight and then a farewell fight.

 

No take backs

 

Got a lot of respect for Povetkin , proper warrior. Hopefully Eddie can get him a few more nice pay days if he wants to carry on. Good luck to him!

 

I don't mind whyte but come on man, there's no need to be such a fan boy, How old are you fella?

 

But how am I fanboy?

I said he would get cleared... done

Said he would beat parker, rivas, chisora, browne... done

Said he can beat AJ and Wilder and Ruiz, is their a crime against making highly condifent and passionate predictions?

I know my stuff man.

6 MONTHS people on here laughed at me, day in, day out...... day in, day out... you are a laughing stock... aydamn... what has VADA got to do with anything???? SHUT UP go home!! YOUR BOY is done... he will never fight again... go hang yourself fella.

 

Fair play to him if he's just got fighting in his blood and wants to rake in some more cash - but world championship status is probably off the proverbial table for him, now. he isn't going to get any better than he was against hunter and that performance isn't quite good enough anymore.

Looking forward to seeing him serve as truth serum for rising contenders.
