Comments Thread For: Povetkin Taking Wilder Seriously, Ready To Go To America

[BWC]

That's what "paper champion" means. He's some kinda champ on paper but not THE champ.

You're free to like Wilder, but he is fighting on his own private circuit completely separate from the actual heavyweight title chase.

A fight with povetkin would change that, give that belt a shred of legitimacy,

This is just nonsense. Know who Fury fought before his Wlad fight? Christian Hammer. WTF is that you ask? Exactly. Of Povetkin's much ballyhooed four wins post-Wlad, the best was Takam, who is not even a top-10 HW.

If Wilder beats Sasha, he will have as good a resume as anyone prob outside of Fury (and that would be close). People need to get past the hate and wake up to reality

Il bet you all the amount I have on this account on joshua beating fury....I'll also privately wager with you on real money say £100 on joshua beating fury....no problem for me...I know boxing and when I see a talent I'm willing to put money on it

When the Wilder-Povetkin fight is made, I want to see Wilder haters on here showing up ready to post their Povetkin betting slips or they can STFU..

[kafkod]

The same guy your talking about is fury who was knocked down by a cruiser weight Cunningham and the fury who actually punched himself with an uppercut lol...come kafkod look at what fury really is ....no punch..terrible balance ...boxing skill all over the show...the performace that fury put on against klitchko would not happen to joshua.....Joshua would beat fury now....I see nothing in furys game that beats a hungry joshua......whye I think if he landed that same left on furys chin and it would be good night I have no doubt about that....fair play to fury winning the title but I see no future for him holding the belt against a wilder or joshua if thay face off next year....we disagree on how good fury is I'm affraid.....fury has already been busted up and beaten by joshua when they sparred and that's coming from a close friend who boxed at the same gym as fury when he was preparing for chisora rematch...I respect your opinion but we're deffo gonna be talking if they do face off with each other in the future....I'll take joshua by KO

If your friend is telling you he saw Fury get beaten and busted up by Joshua in sparring then he is telling you porkies.. It never happened.

Joshua was still an amateur when he sparred Fury, this was back in 2010/2011. Fury was larking around with him in sparring and afterwards, because he didn't regard AJ as a threat or a rival, he cracked a few jokes about AJ supposedly beating him up, and the Chinese whisperers did their usual thing.

I also know talent when I see it, and AJ has talent, I'm not saying otherwise.

I'm not a betting man as a rule, but I put money on Fury beating Wlad, because the odds were just too good to ignore when I was so sure Tyson was going to win.

If Fury was fighting AJ next I would definitely take your £100 off you. Let's wait and see where they both are when and if it happens.

I didn't watch the whole fight, I'm not a masochist! But I watched the stoppage. Stiverne was stunned by a punch and lying on the ropes taking shots without firing back or defending himself properly and the ref jumped in and rescued him.

oh ok enough said.... stiverne did his back up & block routine... wasn't even hurt bad to warrant a stoppage

A paper champ is more like Thurman (& im a thurman fan) he was elevated to that belt and now is the legit WBA champ cuz floyd retired..... at least imo haha

povetkin has been waiting to start negotiating this fight since may and he actually worked hard and took risks to put himself in this position, unlike certain other fighters who are seemingly gifted high rankings and title shots out of the blue. on top of that, povetkin is a better fighter than martin and brings more money to the table than martin. there's only one possible reason wilder would elect to fight martin instead of povetkin and we all know what it is

wilder-martin would be a fine fight after povetkin was taken care of

i guess you are alluding to golovkin there, since everything seems to come back to him for the likes of you, and here's the difference: golovkin is chasing the best in his division while wilder is avoiding the best in his. stay on topic in future

Ha! You can't be chasing the best when you're constantly taking step aside fee's NOT to fight.

But I would prefer the povetkin fight 1st then maybe the fury fight.... martin can wait haha

Yeah, backed up and blocking punches with his face!

Ha! You can't be chasing the best when you're constantly taking step aside fee's NOT to fight.

Miguel Cotto wants to fight Saul Alvarez next, not Golovkin. But Golovkin has turned down Miguel Cotto's offer of step aside money, so Miguel Cotto will now tell Saul Alvarez to go kick rocks and he will fight Golovkin instead.

Yeah right!

[The Gambler1981]

True but if your an olympic gold medalist you should have the ability to outbox anyone on your best night

He has talent but he is getting a bit long in the tooth, beating a guy with longer range requires at least a bit of an attitude that that won't stop them. That is a young man's trait, not impossible for Povetkin because he does have skills but I certainly see it as an uphill climb.

[beez721]

From what I've seen Fury isn't much and his reign as champion won't last long. Going by pure ability and from what I've seen Stiverne is the better fighter.

stiverne is garbage. fury would win an easy ud over him. stiverne is too plodding and lazy

[Tobi.G]

Anthony Joshua is the future...beats all of them in a years time

He could be the future but he has some flaws he needs to work on.

[The plunger man]

He could be the future but he has some flaws he needs to work on.

Of course he has only had 15 fights and now he will step up to a world level ...but the sort of power and speed he possesses is on a very high level....even the way he finsihed whyte with the uppercut inside is not of some normal heavyweight...takes tremendous timing and skill for 247 pound fighter to do that...he took his best shot as well and whyte would beat quite a few decent heavyweights for sure....my money is on Joshua to reach the very top 100 percent
