    And yet here it is:

    On 23 September 2016, Fury again postponed the fight after being declared "medically unfit"
    On 12 October, Fury vacated the WBA "Super", WBO and IBO titles, citing problems with depression after testing positive for cocaine.

    Fury dropped 3 belts rather than rematch Wlad

    Styles make fights, like Frazier did, covidkin would try to get inside and foreman would have used his incredible strength to push him out of fighting range, just like he did Joe Frazier, and then hit him at will, like he did Joe.

    That is not ducking. He was just unable to fight and retired due to his depression and all that stuff. Fury himself said if he could go back in time, he would like to fight klitschko in a rematch.
    "I go back in time to rematch Klitschko, giving him another ass kicking".

    You want to see him fight Joshua for what exactly because he has zero chance of lasting longer than 7 rounds.

    I think I know what you mean now...you were saying if hypothetically Povetkin fought AJ in 2018...

    Smith Tucker and others clinched the hell out of prime Tyson but he still beat them easily on points. No way Povetkin beats Klitschko with or without clinches simply because if he was that good he would have gotten a 1-2 scoring punches in before every clinch like Tyson did, therefore winning him a decision.
    Fouls and illegal tactics can make a difference in a close fight, but that was not competitive, sorry.

    And in his "prime" from 2013-2017 he was roided out so clearly that the naked eye could tell the difference in his physique both before and after that time period.
    Just like the naked eye could tell how Canelo's body changed after he got caught vs GGG the first time.
    Vargas vs De La Hoya
    Etc

    I would bet anything on lewis, wlad, Vit, prime bowe , golota, holy to beat that fat clown fury. Prob most overrated hw ever. Win over wilder ( who’s a bum) and poor ass victory over 40yo wlad.

    From what I've seen Prime Povetkin is likely David Tua—Ike Ibeabuchi—Ray Mercer Tier. VERY formidable but not A+ level with the likes of Ali/Lewis/Tyson/Foreman/Klitschko brothers

    Prime povetkin probably would have wiped that version of Aj out but Ajs gotten better since then and he likely has a couple more years till he reaches his absolute peak. We'll wait and see
