Povetkin earned his respect, he was a gentlemen throughout and gave AJ a stiff test last night. You know Joshua is gonna be hurting in a load of places this morning.
The bodybuilder slipped a cheque in his back pocket. Deontay and the bomb squad would have ambushed him, there and then. lol.
Deontay Wilder has already walked away from a fight with both of those guys so no he wouldnt do jack ****.
No shame in losing to Joshua + Klitschko. Povetkin went out on his shield and can fly home feeling no shame at all. I am sure Russia is proud of him, he gave his all.
AJ is a wonderful ambassador for the sport. Forget whether you think he is elite, the best or a knockout waiting to happen thats all fight stuff and thats an argument for how good you think he is or isnt. Hew speaks well, dresses well, acts professional most the time, is good with the social media, does plenty with charity and is a true pupil to the sport. He isnt claiming to want to eat anybodys children, doesnt want a body in the ring, isnt beating women up and is passing all his drug tests. He isnt ballooning in fat weight between fights. Its hard to not like the guy, those who do not like the guy or either bitter or American.
