    I think 40+ years of crappy communism destroyed any love.

    Not to mention Russia still owns a portion of land next to Poland just for military purposes.

    He's too small, too slow, too old, to have anything more than a slim puncher's chance. Never say never, but this has all the appearances of a safe fight for Joshua.

    Povetkin is a risk for any boxer at anytime.

    How dangerous is only how Joshua lets it be.

    Povetkins chances are slim and none and his style will do all the work for him against a Joshua looking to stop him bc of Povetkins experience in big fights.

    I think Joshua stops him before round 9.

    Povetkin is much better then given credit for but you wont see it here.

    Joshua by 8th round k.o.

    Don't you think you're giving Povetkin far too much credit by claiming he poses even 1% of a risk to Anthony Joshua and that he would survive 8 rounds against Joshua?

    Isn't it something like: Povetkin has absolutely no power to even hurt, never mind KO Joshua. To the point where Joshua can literally walk through all of Povetkin's punches landing flush on his chin with 0 effect.

    And that Joshua is so much superior compared to Povetkin. Especially in terms of size, physical strength and punching power that Povetkin won't even be able to survive 1 round?

    Joshua will stop Povetkin in his tracks with a decent jab.

    Povetkin's only hope is leaping left hook

    Povetkin demonstrated the best way to fight Wilder. Take PEDs so you don't have to fight Wilder and get knocked the **** out.

    If Joshua spends too much energy in the clinches or trying to keep distance to avoid Povetkin's short hooks it could be a dangerous fight for AJ.

    Yet, Wilder fought another PED cheat in Chris Arreola. I should add, a washed up and old Arreola but still couldn't 'KNOCK HIM OUT'. Rather, had to rely on a corner / referee stoppage.

    BUT POVETKIN DRUG CHEAT DOE DOE DOE DOE DOE DOE.

    BUT ARREOLA DRUG CHEAT BUT HE OKAY DOE DOE DOE DOE DOE DOE DOE.

    Wasn't Arreola caught smoking weed lmao. Anyways it's sad that you're attacking the clean one instead of criticizing the cheat.

    Chris Arreola is a PED cheat too. Weed is a PED too. I'm criticizing a hypocrite with no consistency and standards in Deontay Wilder who had no problems facing one drug cheat in Arreola but ducked another supposed drug cheat in Povetkin.

    LMAO weed is a "ped". If anything weed made Arreola eat more and become more lazy and fat. Povetkin went from looking flabby to looking like the Hulk and knocking everyone out.
