    It was more like WWE that fight with Klitschko literally throwing him to the canvas and climbing all over his back. Some of them weren’t legitimate knockdowns imo. It was an experienced performance from Klitschko though, proper spoiling tactics.

    Regarding weight, Povetkin looks the same as he always does to me.

    Wlad was a style issue for him as he fights tall and with range. That was a prime Wlad too - that one would have stopped AJ in their fight. It was disgusting tactics by Wlad as well, a lot of wrestling to say the least.

    I thought he looked fine against Hammer and Rudenko. A little slower, sure and the power wasn't there but they aren't exactly chiny. The Price fight, I mean he got rocked by Price but beyond that I don't see that Price had an awful lot of success. He has progressively looked his age though that's for sure

    Yep, no doubt.

    "The Wlad that turned up against AJ ices Fury!"

    It was the SAME GUY! If anything, a worse one

    Age means nothing unless Povetkin was over fifty, George foreman was older when knocking out Michael Moorer.

    Personally I believe Povetkin knocks Joshua out completely, he will go body to head very quickly stagger him then finish him off

    I just don't see it. I expect Joshua to end him in the first half.

    Is Luis Ortiz an all time great heavyweight or an olympic gold medallist though? Or even a previous world champion (significant belts that is)? No, no he isn't. You're judged on what you've achieved, not who you've beat or how you've performed. That is why Ortiz is given a lesser status than those two. Because he might have looked epic in fights, he might have beat a few names, but what has he actually done in the process? Nothing.

    At 39 he looks in better condition than Parker did, i do know he will go out there and try and knock Joshua out unlike the Kiwi.

    Joshua is going to regret taking this fight, has banana skin written all over it. Povetkin has the pedigree and the experience of fighting a prime Klitschko, had an excellent camp and knows what he has to do.
