not only that Povetkin destroyed the juiced takam a while ago. PED monster AJ had a lot of trouble with takam one of Povetkins leftovers and needed the ref. if you was to see a real KO of takam watch him fighting PovetkinComment

I just watched it. Povetkin really laid Takam out cold.

A few thoughts from the fight:
- Takam's chin is world class. He was tough as nails.
- There were questions about Joshua's conditioning going into this fight, and those questions have been validated. Joshua was gassing, and was unable to avoid combination shots from a guy who doesn't have a lot of hand speed.
- When Joshua is fresh, he looks incredible. His jab was really good.
- Joshua hasn't quite figured out how to close fights effectively - he gets wild and frustrated too easily.
- That was an AWFUL stoppage. Terrible timing. It certainly looks suss - Takam was well down on the cards, but had shown some life in the last couple of rounds - he was on the up, and Joshua was visibly tiring. The stoppage was random and out of the blue - really, really bad refereeing.
Joshua deserves to remain the #1 guy in the division right now. But where there were question marks, there is steady evidence to back them up.Comment

No he's not.He is athletic for his size, not athletic in the fast twitch basketball player sense, or in distance runner endurance sense.
He is more of a power athlete and strength who has good hand eye coordination. Being athletic covers a broad range of athletic talent, when I look at Joshua next to most heavyweight boxers I think athlete. However, I would say he is not the ideal athlete for boxing, but that doesn't change that Joshua does have athleticism
Wilder is athletic for his size...
Joshua is not..
You must be really really old...or just sorry as hell...to think Joshua is athletic.Comment

No I just don't look at athleticism as that narrow a category.
Just to pick a random recent heavy, I look at Tony Thompson as unathletic, I look at Kevin Johnson as unathletic, I look at Nikolai Valuev as unathletic.
Question? do you consider Jarrell Miller athletic because I do?Comment
