Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin set for september 22nd in Wembley

everytime age is mentioned, someone gotta bring up the one goddamn exception to the rule.
Next its going to be "uhhh hopkins"

jeez. you KNOW why these are exceptions.

 

fine by me. its disgusting either way, not sure how you think making my case stronger is some kind of issue for me but then you are Mendoza.

 

Not for the fight being made.

 

I don't know why people are complaining. It's a great fight and styles make fights. Povetkin is still the best combination puncher in the HW div.

 

Did you even read what I wrote before you went into a frenzy?

Joshua should enforce VADA because Povetkin has failed two tests.

If Joshua doesn’t enforce VADA then it is suspicious as he would have needed to do VADA to get the Wilder fight.

What’s the hissy fit for?

 

Yes, punching power is not about bodybuilding

Physical strength is not about body building.

Didn't claim such things. How come you don't understand simple concepts?

 

age isnt put aside for some instance. age is universal. time is universal.

its always considered. even with george foreman, age was a factor, just later for him because he was so outstanding.

 

ok when u r claiming you own post are dumb, my job is done, see ya lf.

 

Why are you guys acting like they are gonna let Sasha fight on the inside it’ll be worst than the Takam fight and Joshua will fight safety first

 

Enforcing VADA tests on a little midget like Povetkin who is significantly smaller than Joshua in size is pointless. As pointless as a 30 year old adult male, enforcing a VADA test in a fight against a 5 year old little boy.

Unless Povetkin randomly becomes as big as Joshua in terms of functional size and muscle mass, there shouldn't be any concerns about PED's, as they'd have 0 impact in fights.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that out!

 

I think Takam chose to quit against Povetkin.

 

Irrelevant! All that matters is, stamina divisions don't exist and weight divisions do.

Otherwise, why isn't Manny Pacquiao allowed to fight Anthony Joshua when he has significantly better stamina?

Yet, a 40 year old Wladmir Klitschko was allowed to fight Anthony, despite having significantly inferior stamina.

Wanna know why? because of size! No amount of stamina can level the playing field when there is a significant size disadvantage. As there is between Joshua and Povetkin.

No matter how much you twist it, you know deep down subconsciously at least, that this fight is a total mismatch but you just aren't willing to admit it and are falsely trying to convince yourself it isn't a mismatch.

 

Good to know!

 

It seems to me that stamina doesn't matter to you until it suits your argument to acknowledge it:

Which is... convenient...

But this is all getting increasingly inane. I think you most definitely know boxing well but on this one subject you're either trolling or have a particular hobby horse you want to ride. God only knows what you made of a fight like Valuev vs Haye!

It's a pity because in other discussions I really enjoy your posts but on this one I don't think its worth engaging any more and we can agree to disagree. If Joshua monsters Povetkin I'll be sure to give you due credit. Personally I'm hoping we see a good contest and a thorough examination of Povetkin's approach work and AJ's inside skills.

 

Boxed Ears would be proud of you.
