    He may have. Joshua showed me nothing.

    Definitely for me. You could say he was on meldonium at the time, but he's been on the slide of late as the fights vs Rudenko and Hammer showed. Neither of them are even as good as Mike Perez who he wiped out in 60 secs.

    You've already said that twice in this thread. What about the majority who also think Povetkin likely wins if he was a few years younger? Are you going to curse them out too?

    I'm not trying to get under your skin, but it appears is rather sensitive, so maybe you should behave yourself before someone targets you jerk like behavior.

    I know Povetkin was 39, old, with limited stamina, and the fight was about even. Joshua had his knees buckled in round one, and was holding on in round two. Joshua came on when Povetkin's work rate declined. That's what I know kiddo. :bash:

    What you know about boxing remains to be seen!

    Knees buckled means nothing. They fought on even terms through out 7 rounds imo before the stoppagge even though povetkin was 39 years of age.

    He suffered no real beat downs through out his career and was pretty much a fresh fighter at 34-1 going through nto this fight after s 13 year career. He got beat, and that has nothin to do with what your talking about. Sowwey

    Can you imagine if instead of Povetkin Prime Tyson fought Joshua? It would be KO 1. Povetkin doesn't have enough power to take out Joshua, but he was able to land everything he threw in the first couple of rounds.
