    They never mention him and for good reason

    povetkin landing flush on AJ would cause big problems

    Flush yes, but remember, he looked a complete fool attempting to get to Wlad. Of course, Wlad had spent years perfecting the Kronk stratagem for protecting a weak jaw (provided there's a massive length and reach advantage in play) whereas Joshua is on his own without the benefit of Emanuel Steward's expertise, but the overall dimensions are the same and Joshua has undoubtedly quicker legs than even prime Wlad, let alone the version that fought Povetkin.

    So melodium enables you to make instant recoveries and gives you knockout power?

    Yes that was a bad style but Joshua doesn't fight like wlad wlad used his reach and size aj would be dumb enough to just brawl with povetkin.

    Joshua doesn't have the maturity to box without emotion

    If he were that much of a barbarian somebody even remotely heavy-handed (most notably Whyte) could have dragged him into a brawl and clocked him one good on the chin by now. Joshua is able to use his size (along with his athleticism) to avoid or mitigate punishment. Not with the skill or aplomb that Klitshcko did, no, but in a different way, and still effectively.

    That's fair. Heavyweight blows right now. I feel Povetkin and Joshua might be the only two who might compete in other eras. (far surer of Povetkin though, as he's more proven)

    Just as you'd read on red bulls website. If it was some kind of miracle drug it would've been banned much sooner.

    No matter how many times I tell people it is a vitamin like substance that protects cardiac tissue during times of prolonged stress/exertion they do not want to hear it. Meldonium is no more a drug than inositol or creatine are and was only classified as such because it was marketed by a pharma company.

    These cucks do not know anything just out to witch hunt an E.E. fighter for taking something about as effective as creatine. The double standards are off the charts.

    That's why Wilder is afraid of him! Wilder ordered the WBC/VADA to portect him, we all know why Wilder will not fight anyone who can fight back. 5 voluntary title defenses in a row proves it! Anyone else would have had their title taken away, double standard!
