    Povetkin was hurt by Price in a similar way to Joshua being hurt by a one-armed Dillian Whyte. In fact the Joshua one was a lot worse because Joshua lost his legs after the shot and was immobile for the rest of the round.

    Povetkin was hurt by Price and saved by the ropes but he lost balance rather than his legs. He recovered quickly.

    Regardless it’s not a big factor. Price hits a hell of a lot harder than feather fisted Whyte who couldn’t even stop Helenius. Povetkin is also levels above Whyte. Focus on the styles here. You have a bodybuilder known for gassing, and with zero head movement, and who has been floored badly by a 41 year old Wlad.

    It's a very real possibility. This fight carries a lot of risks, which is why Joshua should be commended for taking it (not that he has much choice). He is consistently fighting top opposition, unlike a certain other someone...

    No, I don't. But I realize that Joshua is going to KTFO Povetkin.

    maybe he might, but i doubt it, Joshua seems wily enough and fit enough to get the cautious points decision that he requires, and perhaps more if Povs tank isnt what it was.

    Pov can sure KO clowns like charr, but nothing major when prime, so now its not going to happen.

    Povetkin will be Joshua’s toughest fight yet, after the Wladimir fight


    Parker did pretty well against Joshua. Skill wise, Povetkin is much more effective and experienced Parker


    Povetkin for the win

    Count on it

    And if Joshua wins you'll say Povetkin was shot, rinse, repeat cycle.

    Yet there are people giving Hearn and AJ **** for this fight, Wilder wouldn't fight Povetkin in a dream.

    The only problem I see is Wlad gave all big strong HW's the blueprint to handling Povetkin with ease...

    Povetkin seems to have a chin of iron after taking that bomb from Price so I would expect a UD to AJ...

    Parker is 6'4" 26 years old and has way more handspeed than povetkin

    Povetkin is 6'1" 40 years old and has little outside of good combination punching at close range.

    The other problem was that Wlad fight was in 2013 the same year floyd fought a baby Alvarez, and Povetkin was 34 then!!

    We know his performance enhancers have been taken away, he went from sleeping iron chinned guys like Takam to going 12 with scrubs like Hamer.
