    Age means a lot, especially 39, and Povetkin used to be a kickboxer and amateur boxer, he has a lot of wear and tear on him.

    He had his chance in the first half. He had to end it then. Gave it a good go. You have to give credit to Joshua for his resilience but my god he looked dog **** in there. Awful boxing, and a throwaway lucky shot ended it.

    The champ doesn't call out a challenger.

    There's more salt in this thread than Stiverne's super size bugers.

    Age was the deciding factor in my opinion.

    Surely then it's even more impressive that he's managed to achieve what he has.

    Thats probably because Joshua is a stiff robot that is severely overrated.

    Povetkin was at his best when he fought Takam and Perez.

    Eddie Hearn: “we agreed a deal. We signed a contract and they didn’t.”

    Is this guy for real?

    He also just implied Wilder isn’t a real world champion. What a disgraceful comment.

    He's always been competitive in fights, he doesn't have as much wear and tear on his body if he's able to preform like that. I highly disagree

    That works both ways....

    As old as Povetkin is, Joshua is as inexperienced.

    Even the 39 year old Povetkin would've sparked Donkey. You guys think I'm trolling when I say the level of skill of most HWs in this era is woeful. Povetkin is very skilled and he just gave the #1 HW in the world everything he could handle and some despite being at huge disadvantages in terms of height, reach, weight, and youth and being 39 years old. The skill gap between Poveklin and AJ was very noticeable and AJ is way more skilled than Donkey.

    Wlad is as stiff as Joshua imo, maybe even more stiff.
