    You think Povetkin is not as good as Wallin?

    Tyson Fury does not lose to mere mortals.

    Today Povetkin no for sure. But Povetkin after the Klitschko lost and when he was in a great shape after it, yeah for sure. I think he could have beat Joshua, Fury, Wilder, and probably even Klitschko.
    He improved his body composition and shape a lot with the new trainer.

    Fury had some trouble with Steve Cunningham so Battleship Povetkin's crouchy ambush style could be equally problematic for him. Fury would defo need to clinch.

    Only by KO. Povetkin will never win a decision.

    My thoughts exactly. People somehow think Fury is an unbeatable monster now, based off one good fight. The fight before against Wallin, he looked like absolute trash and almost lost on cuts. But guys forget about that just like they forget about Fury beating Klitschko on steroids.

    Fury has still to prove that he is the great fighter he thinks he is, Yes Fury got a great story. But If Fury is who he thinks he is, then Fury should sit 5 years on all those belts and take on all the mandatory's, if he goes through AJ, to solidify the greatness he claims.

    Wladimir beat himself, Wilder and AJ are limited boxers and he has beat nobody else of notice.

    Respect for bringing it to Wilder and rip that title away the second time.

    Yes but Fury cannot live off the Wilder and Klitschko fights alone. For each of those fights, he has 10 other fights against absolute tomato cans. And how can people say he's the number one guy when he has only fought 2 guys in the top 30? And since he's a steroid cheat, everything he has done since getting caught should be in question. I swear this dude has more people conned than Wilder did, while he was fighting bum after bum. People actually started saying that Wilder was the hardest hitting heavyweight in history haha . And now they are saying that Fury is basically unbeatable, when he looked very beatable in 12 rounds against a C level fighter in Wallin.

    Different skill set. There is levels and styles, styles and levels.

    Wallin may not be in Povetkin's class, but he is three inches taller, has three inches of reach, and is a southpaw.

    If Sascha wants one more shot, he'd be better off asking for Joshua again, or waiting until next year when some of the titles split off.

    While I dont see it happening, just dont forget Povetkin is still the #1 at setting traps, has a high ring IQ and has great power in both fists. I dont think Fury would have taken that uppercut well. Tyson probably too quick, slick and would have a field day with his jab, but dont count Sacha out here.

    But do you really think he was 100% fit in that fight? He didn't look completely engaged.

    The only way Fury would lose to him is if he showed up unprepared and didn’t care at all.
    Other then that Povetkin will not beat Fury

    How many fighters do you believe Wilder would not KO?

    Anyone who's not avoiding Wilders right is getting KO'd. If Wilder can catch Fury, who wont he catch?

    It's the fact that Fury was so dominant over Wilder the first time, and even more so the 2nd time that made Fury's statement.

    Say what you want about his win over Wladmir. That Wladmir is the toughest opponent Joshua has fought. Ruiz was just an off night and a clash of styles. Good champions can lose to lesser opponents, and often come back to whoop them the 2nd time.

    Wladmir at 40/41 was still better than most of the top 10 are now, and Fury was completely Dominant over him.
