Currently, Oleksandr Usyk is Anthony Joshua's biggest challenge. Not Wilder and Povetkin

    Show us the whole picture then. Including their legs. Rather than just a picture of their upper half.

    Povetkin is at most, 6 foot 1. He isn't 6 foot 2. And even then, that's still pushing it.

    Oleksandr Usyk is bigger in size than Povetkin. Far more barrel chested and a much more of a physical specimen, than the chubby and pudgy pudding that happens to be Povetkin.


    Harder hitting HW? Going by your logic, that's debatable. Since, Usyk stopped a common opponent both share in Marco Huck whilst Povetkin went life and death against the same Huck, barely beating him and needed a close decision win.

    Povetkin vs Joshua is a joke fight that deserves to be ridiculed forever, if it takes place. Which will mostly make Joshua a laughing stock, irrespective of how he performs against an insanely mismatched opponent in Povetkin. Usyk is the real deal! Far more skilled, athletic, talented, speedy and elusive than the washed up, shot, fat, overweight, chubby and pudgy 40 year old blown up light heavyweight in Alexander Povetkin.

    Real boxing fans want the best fights to take place. Not ridiculous mismatches between two fighters that shouldn't really be in the same ring against each other.

    Usyk vs Joshua > Povetkin vs Joshua. All day long!

    You can pretend Joshua vs Povetkin is a great fight all you like, but nothing will change the fact that Povetkin is a 40 year old grandpa and way past his best. No different than Mike Tyson against Danny Williams and Kevin McBride or Evander Holyfield against John Ruiz and Larry Donald.

    Thank you for exposing Wilder. A cruiser-heavy tweener who has no buisness against the real super heavyweights of the division.
