i didn't make a comparison. you cited Povetkins size, nothing about talent, i was just using your own logic against you
I didn't cite anything about Povetkins talent because he's not that talented. Povetkin in my opinion is basic European fighter who has managed to enhance the little talent that he has with PED. His type of style is made for someone like Joshua. You guys can continue to stay in denial but style matters, if you don't believe me ask your wife.
It's not stupid when you consider the disparity in size, athleticism, overall physical talent and not to forget, the style of both fighters. Povetkin can't deal with tall heavyweights, some of you can't get yourself to understand that. May be the standard has been lowered because we live in an abysmal era of heavyweight division, but if Povetkin was fighting 20 years ago, no one would heard about him. If Wladimir Klitschko wasn't so gunshy, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now, because he would have knocked the guy the **** out. Everytime Wladimir touched Povt, he found himself on the canvas. I was hoping the Wilder fight would have happened, just to see the faces of people who tries to make this guy out to be something that he's not to be set straight by guy who isn't highly regarded on this forum.
Wlad flung Pov down with choke holds and neck locks. He scored one legit KD with a left hook that was it. He had no boxing skills to compete with Povetkin. Literally NONE. The sissy turned his back in the 12th round and ran in the other direction when Pov slipped his clinch. 1 illegal hold= warning.. 2 illegal hold warning of a point deduction... hold again =point deduction. Hold again = DQ. Wlad illegally held , grabbed , grappled , groped 180 times... He should have been DQ'd 100 times over.. Did you hear that .. 100 times over. Strip him of holding like in the Jennings fight and Pov would utterly destroy him. Joshua showed massive weaknesses against Whtye . Since then Whyte couldn't hurt a 10 fight nobody in the slightest. Povetkin is so much better than Whyte its not even funny. He'd exploit the holes in AJ's game .. who at this stage has a lot to learn about pro boxing. He is just a pup and the experience gap would be blatant if they fought.
This content is protected Joshua will knock that eighties wig clean off his huge steroid fuelled head.
Anything comment from you in regards to Vladimir Klitschko should be taken with a grain of salt for a reason we both know about.
I think with a little more seasoning Joshua probably would, but he's still rough around the edge and Povetkin would pose a major threat. If Whyte can catch him with that kind of shot early, then so could Povetkin. Only difference is - Povetkin wouldn't have let him off the hook.
