    You're anticipating Joshua beating Povetkin far more impressively than your hero Wlad , hence why you are trying to rubbish him as an opponent.
    Klitsckho couldn't go a single minute of every round without excessively fouling and back humping Povetkn to death.
    Joshua won't have to foul once and you know it which is why you are tying to down play the win before it happens.
    Where are those posts where you said Povetkin would knock out Mike Tyson and Holyfield?? lol . Troll

    I wasn't really impressed by Wlad's performance against Povetkin. Maybe Wlad was payed / bribed off behind the scenes to avoid brutally knocking out Povetkin (Kubrat Pulev style) in Povetkin's home country? Nothing to me suggests Wlad couldn't if he really wanted to.

    Povetkin never lost to anybody his own size. Let alone got stopped. Holyfield and Tyson have. Therefore, I think I'll give Povetkin a reasonable chance at beating them.

    That has no bearing on a functionally weighing 240+ pound super heavyweight with huge muscles being allowed to face mismatches against undersized midgets.

    Rabinsky wouldn't have paid out 23M to host the fight if they knew he was going to lose. Wlads performance was that way because he didn't have the talent to do any better. Simple as that. You can go back and look at both Peter fights and you'll see the same type of circus performance.

    Povetkin's better than Wilder anyway, so I'm totally cool with it.

    Wlad had personal problems with Kubrat Pulev. He therefore sought for the KO and gave Pulev his first knockout of his boxing career, and a brutal one at that.

    For some reason, I get the impression that Wlad was holding back heavily from going for the KO against Povetkin. Unless you genuinely believe Wlad went for it and Povetkin is significantly tougher and more durable than Pulev for being able to survive 12 rounds.

    Wlad may have been paid as a backup behind the scenes. In the event that he does win, he doesn't KO Povetkin.

    Wilders just the money fight.. I for some reason have some curiosity with this fight.. I do favor Joshua to win of course. But its an interesting fight and with all the drama behind the Wilder fight I say lets keep the HW train running and this is really the only other big fight for Joshua and Id personally like to see it

    Every post I've seen from you is about how Joshua will squash Povetkin like a bug, and how the fight is a gruesome mismatch. You've even done this in other forums. What is your motivation for posting such a thing?

    Genuinely surprised at the number of posters who think this is anything less than an utter mismatch in every department! Size, height, weight, reach, muscle mass, muscle quantity, age, punching power and physical strength advantages are held by only one fighter in this astronomical mismatch. SMH at anyone thinking this is a credible match up in anyway whatsoever for Anthony Joshua.

    Only in the heavyweight division can we such unappealing mismatches between over sized opponents and undersized midgets who don't even belong in the same weight division, never mind the same ring with each other.

    This is basically a monstrous creature like a Godzilla (Anthony Joshua) against a midget sized dwarf (Alexander Povetkin). And a fat chubby one at that.

    It's beyond me how anybody could see this match up as anything more than an utter comical joke in a circus.

    Just keeping it real and calling this for exactly what it is. An astronomical mismatch! I can help you do the math if you like.

    Povetkin is a shitty fighter from a shitty era with a shitty resume who never did anything but duck challenges and keep relevance by beating up exposed leftovers.

    Joshua, and I reckon he'll look good too.
