Prime age 30 Povetkin vs. current Joshua: who would win?

True, but Wlad’s another very well schooled fighter. He also clinched perhaps to much, but hey, that’s the game.

 

Anthony Joshua's chin is fine? He was hurt badly by a punch that didn't even land flush by Povetkin. Wlad almost knocked him out with one punch. The same right hand Wlad landed for 8 rounds against a fat washed up Everett Martin and couldn't phase him and the same right hand he landed on Purrity for 11 rounds and couldn't phase him. AJ has a poor chin. Poor stamina. Poor footwork and his power is overrated. Povetkin isn't anything special but at 39 he was still out boxing AJ until he Alexander gassed out.

A young in his prime Povetkin would demolish AJ.

 

WTF? Joshua would alway knocked out povetkin at any stage of his career. That poll is a joke

 

Everyone who voted for Povetkin are the usual EE crowd. The poll has no integrity

 

Did you even see the fight? Joshua was staggered and schooled by little povetkin until he ran out of steam.

 

It doesn't matter what he did, it's what happened after the 6th round.

 

Joshua would probably still take him out. Even at the height of Pov's hype he still had flaws like backing straight out and not working inside more. For a smaller HW, he'd always have issues with tall jabbers with a good cross.

 

Anthony Joshua would get blasted away, if he struggled heavily with a 39 year old Povetkin how would he beat a significantly better prime version.

This is the stupid logic i have trouble understanding. People think Anthony Joshua has a good chance against Prime Klitschko but Joshua himself would've gotten stopped by a slower, 41 year old Klitschko if Klitschko himself stepped on the gas instead of letting Aj recover, yeah Aj has improved but not THAT much

 

Wlad too was real Olympic Gold medalist like Povetkin, DLH and Ward were and damn unlike A.J

After added exactly western training, he was not **** y and was glad to learn further the game.

No, you are the joke and regards to fight vs Povetkin I rate Huck higher than A.J, sorry.
We all are subjective and biased, still for me this was what this was for me. Almost 0 credit for A.J for this fight from me.

Usual western **** crowd: all is cool if western boxer had won, cherry pick, cards, refs, judges, casual dirty western dumb crowd with delusional idiots in forums, YT comments etc: casual western dumbasses with smelling chips on shoulders.

 

Povetkin KO'd plenty of his opponents. He was 6ft 2 and 230. He caused Joshua a lot of problems at 38 years old.

The problem was Povetkin's punch resistance was shot at his old age. Also his stamina had suffered as he had to take breaks during rounds.

 

I hope the check for Whyte2 was worth it. Looked an ill man.

 

Would go with Povetkin winning against Joshua as well. Far better boxer than Joshua, Povetkin’s timing was way off by the time he fought Joshua. Did not even look great against David Price by that point.

 

Yeah, he looked old and aging in 3 fights he had won before fight vs A.J. Legs looked worse and worse etc, etc.

 

AJ would win.

Povetkin was just in slight decline but still a very good and dangerous HW as he proved in the Whyte, Hunter and Hughie fights. AJ was setting traps though and finally tagged with big shot he was looking to set up.

 

You do realize that Klitschko is notorious for being overly cautious. There’s been way too many times when Klitschko had his man hurt and chose to box. Also AJ would beat the **** out of any version of Povetkin
