    Povetkin's a shithouse. I'm not convinced he will fight Joshua until he fights Joshua.

    Both are mega fights IMO with Fury/Wilder being the more appealing fight in my mind as I see it being the more competitive bout of the two (however were Povetkin five years younger then a bout with AJ would be equally as appealing to me, if not more so.)

    I’m a fan of the Wilder/Fury fight personally; seeing Wilder fight tough opposition is as rare as rocking horse ****, it’s almost mythical.

    Both are big fights. The Mega fight is if the winners meet.

    Lol it’s right and I’d even say this guys putting it lightly.I followed AJs career since turning pro and was a fan with the high points being his Dillian Whyte fight and obviously the action packed fight with Wlad,hard not like that but the Parker fight turned me off as I can’t be doing with the A side crap and the Ref and just the way he now fights which oddly enough is how he’s able to talk about his next opponent as if Povetkin is absolutely no threat,how can that be?
    Quite simply with a Ref that doesn’t allow inside fighting and anything else bar a jab.
    WWE is not far off at all,obviously he lets Chisora and Takam get on with it but that Parker has sold himself to Hearn and takes his losses like a good boy,least that’s how it looks.

    Well Wilder v Fury (If it happens) will be the big one here on this board. It will have a far more entertaining builds up watching a wordsmith like Fury make Wilder look foolish (who I'm sure we would hear his moronic catch phrase over and over again)..

    In the UK I'm not sure tbh because obviously AJ has a huge following and Fury not so much because he is more infamous than famous.

    In saying this he filled out his last fight pretty well.. .

    Wilder and Povetkin are still pretty much unknown to the paying public, so either way they are irrelevant it down to who is more popular Fury v AJ..

    In the US I don't think any of them are big enough to be granted "Mega" status so its a non issue..

    In Russia I'd imagine its a no brainier and that boxing made place will get behind their boy..

    The rest of Europe it will be like the UK maybe i'd lean towards AJ - Povetkin as they have had big fights in Germany in the past, but so has Fury..

    Personally I would be more interested in Fury - Wilder..

    Absolutely it’s a problem in general and to me eye I can’t remember so many bad scorecards one after the other be it the U.K.,Australia or the US and for us watch it and can score it unbiased or near as damn it,it just spoils it,case in point Taylor v Postal where history will show a one sided contest when it was anything but.

    Fury is the lineal HW champ. He beat the man in his own back yard. What the **** is a **** like you doing on the internet sayin he's all talk? **** off you pathetic ****ing *****.

    AJ is a roid filled paper **** with more ducks than a **** like you can even count. Accept it.

    Did he ever rematch Klitschko as was agreed upon? I guess Rahman would have been a legend in your mind too after he beat Lewis if he had not rematched him and gone doing drugs instead while holding on to the claim of being lineal champion.

    See I managed that without resorting to insulting you.

    What’s going to be funny is if Povetkin AGAIN pops positive on a drug screen and AJ ends up fighting Bellew or Chisora as a substitute while Wilder-Fury gets all the attention.

    Well the sales and numbers from these 2 fights will have a massive gulf between them in Joshuas favour. AJ Povetkin is for 3 belts, Wilder Fury for 1 and 1 imaginary one. Hate Anthony Joshua all you want, call him silly names but if your looking for a mega fight it is going to have to be Anthony Joshua Vs ..........

    Joshua Vs Fury sounds mega.
