Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Coach: No Point in Fighting Whyte, We Want Joshua!

[Mr Objecitivity]

A weak punching Joseph Parker made Anthony Joshua look limited. Joshua has no feinting abilities whatsoever. He is horrible at setting his punches up and he's got an overrated jab. Couldn't even handle the most rudimentary movement from Parker. Had to hold hit because that's the only time he was able to land his best punches for the most part. Needed a referee to protect him from getting beaten up on the inside.

Joshua's power is overrated. He couldn't even make mince meat out of a chinny Wladimir Klitschko and needed a premature standing stoppage. Nor could he make mincemeat out of Povetkin's left over in Carlos Takam. Nor could he make mincemeat out of a weak punching Parker who was stunning him with punches that are not as powerful as Povetkin's and even Ruiz did a better job on Parker.

I can't see him making it through the testing for a big fight, he looked juiced for the Price fight.

Actually, Povetkin was tested for the Price fight whilst Price wasn't.

Povetkin's coach is right. Povetkin v Whyte makes no sense, especially now the IBF have order Whyte v Pulev for the IBF mandatory position.

If Whyte wins that you could have Povetkin as WBO and WBA mandatory and Whyte as WBC and IBF mandatory... makes life easier for whoever wins out of Wilder v Joshua with only having 2 mandatories to deal with rather than 4.

A pot calling the kettle black.

Looks like the AJ fanboys got all their Alts in full effect .

Well, then I take it back, but I’m surprised

This would be perfect if a Wilder fight falls through. Hell it might even be a better matchup (depending upon the referee of course).

Not sure you know how that idiom works/what it means.

Whyte is unfortunately too good to be a journeyman and too dangerous ahead of a potential AJ fight. He isn't that good, but he is young and has no fear.
