    Joshua
    Klitschko
    Whyte

    Joshua beat a faded, but still dangerous Povetkin in completely uncontroversial fashion.

    Klitschko beat a prime Povetkin in highly dominant fashion, but he did it with one of the most disgraceful performances in Heavyweight championship fight history. That 'win' should have an asterisk next to it.

    The Povetkin that Whyte beat was more or less finished as a fighter.

    Very debatable between AJ & Wlad. It's a two horse race between those two as Povetkin was hugely diminished in his last fight with Whyte. To the extent that it shouldn't really be mentioned as an example here IMO.

    Obviously Klitschko. Povetkin was washed up for the other two.

    Klitschko and its not close at ALL.

    Joshua fought an old man whose gas tank was not there.

    Whyte fought an ancient man who got taken out of his hospital bed to rematch him.

    so many british idiots in this thread thinking the 2 british shitters did anything

    Wlad should get DQ'd for that boxing display

    It was molestation. Pushing and holding. pretty sure all the knockdowns were pushes

    I'd have loved to see Joshua face the Povetkin that Wilder ducked. He'd have been knocked spark out.

    AJ.

    Wlad won the fight a against a young Povetkin but had biased official that should deducted points on several occasions.

    AJ Koed a povetkin that went on to beat Hughie, Gave Hunter a good fight and Koed Whyte.

    Klitschko easily. He beat a prime Povetkin rather effortlessly.

    Joshua beat a 39 year old shot Povetkin, who had success early against Joshua but ran out of steam.

    Lol Whyte got KTFO by a shot Povetkin and won the rematch after Povetkin recovered from COVID at 40.

    The problem is that Wlad clouded everything by using the illegal grabbling, so that people will now lean towards Joshua's win.

    But another way of thinking about it is what would that prime Povetkin do to AJ? I think he'd likely KO him.
    And what would that old Povetkin do against prime Wlad? Wlad would KO him way faster than AJ did.

    Wlad and Povetkin are a lot better than AJ and Whyte.

    Hardly. Povetkin was exhausted. He was fell down from a left hook.
