    All depends on how Joshua approaches this. Joshua might box at range, use his height and reach for a safety first win. Hope not as his Parker win was Hugh Furyesque dullness.

    If Joshua goes for the ko should end by mid rounds.

    Yes, unless he stops Joshua before.

    Be brutal wouldn't it. Chisora aint finished yet which prolongs the beating, but Pov is on the downhill slope imo

    He will! He'd be doing something unprecedented and something never previously done by any past heavyweight in history.

    Do I need to remind you of every other so called past heavyweight 'great' in terms of what happened to them when they were Povetkin's current age?

    Povetkin has arguably already surpassed pretty much every past heavyweight that is in his own height / size range like Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson and etc. Those guys were losing to clowns like Kevin McBride, Danny Williams and Larry Donald by no earlier than Povetkin's current age. Whilst Povetkin, whilst also being the same age and being past his best, has defeated far superior opponents like David Price, Christian Hammer and etc.

    I guess Povetkin is so great, that he is being held to a higher standard than other past heavyweight 'greats' like Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. When he forget to appreciate how great a feat it is to even defeat someone like David Price around the age 40. When Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield were losing to far inferior heavyweights like Kevin McBride, Danny Williams and Larry Donald after reaching a similar age that Povetkin currently is.

    If Povetkin doesn't go down as the top 3 greatest heavyweight of all time if he beats Joshua, then Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Larry Holmes and even Muhammad Ali aren't even all time great heavyweights to begin with. PERIOD!

    I don't care about that! Facts are what matter to me. And facts dictate, that if Povetkin beats Joshua, he'd be doing something no past heavyweight, especially his size, has ever done.

    Just because Western, especially US heavyweight champs were more popular and more hyped, doesn't make them any greater than less hyped and less popular heavyweights from other parts of the world.

    Povetkin has proven to already be greater than Holyfield and Mike Tyson, 2 guys who are commonly considered to be all time greats.

    If Pov wins, which I hope he does, Joshua will be viewed as just another regular heavy compared to past fighters that are/were great. It wont put him anywhere on anyone's all time great list of Heavies beating Joshua imo, and it wont elevate him in to Tyson Holyfield territory

    Yh, come on and admit that Povetkin is superior to those guys. Otherwise, why would they lose to the likes of McBride and Danny Williams and why wouldn't Povetkin lose to the likes of David Price at the same age?

    Joshua has already done what no other heavyweight has done. Has a better resume than any past heavyweight great / champ in 20 fights. Plus has beaten an all time great in Wladimir Klitschko in only such a small number of fights, something no other great has done. Including Mike tyson and Evander Holyfield.

    So if Povetkin beats Joshua. He'd have a single win that is greater than any wins other past great champs like Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield have. We can't somehow erase Joshua's current accomplishments and pretend they don't exist, if Povetkin were to beat Joshua.

    Even if you don't think Joshua isn't as great as some other past heavyweight greats. We can still agree on the fact that Joshua is SIGNIFICANTLY superior to the likes of Kevin McBride, Danny Williams, Larry Donald, James Toney and etc. All guys who beat Mike Tyson and / or Evander Holyfield when they were the same age as current Povetkin.

    So Povetkin would still be doing something nobody else had ever done, if he beats Joshua right now.

    I'm a Povetkin fan, but I think Joshua takes him out easily. Povetkin is too old and looked horrible against arguably past prime Wlad, who is another huge heavyweight.
