Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua 'Very Likely' To Fight Wilder or Povetkin Next

[kiaba360]

I think you missed my point. My point wasn't that Povetkin WILL beat Joshua or that I'd even favor Povetkin to beat Joshua. Merely that Povetkin CAN beat Joshua. Neither of these two 21-0 (20) or 40-0 (39) record guys are unbeatable so they need to make that sh^t happen to properly take advantage of the hype cuz once Joshua is 21-1 or Wilder is 40-1 they hype won't be the same.

But then again that goes along with what I'm saying. I don't think Hearn cares THAT much for how big Joshua vs Wilder can be. I think his ideal plan would involved Wilder getting knocked off by ideally Whyte (his UK guy) or Big Baby (his US guy) & then having Joshua lift the title off of one of them. Then they can cruise along for many years with few big risks & the next generation of risks years away from being lined up with Joshua. Joshua can become huge world wide over the next several years with much less stress & risky fights if Hearn takes that route & of course Wilder catches a L.

Idk just a theory though & the type of thing Hearn would be down for cuz the risk would be far less & the upside the same just taking more time.

I agree, and that's why Hearn would love to completely control the HW division by signing Wilder.

If you think Hearn wouldn’t want to Be involved inA £100 million fight you clearly don’t know the man

The point is, how can you claim a fight is a 'potential' 'super fight' when you have such lopsided odds of one boxer winning?

I personally didn't consider the fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao a 'super fight'. Especially the versions of both that fought each other. I knew from the start that Mayweather was the SIGNIFICANT favourite to win.

Would you consider Manny Pacquiao vs Sergey Kovalev a 'super fight'? Or how about an elephant or a dinosaur vs a rabbit inside a Colosseum? Would you consider that to be a super fight? Since that's the equivalent of Joshua fighting Povetkin.

How badly do you think Povetkin gets squashed by Joshua?

The dude is arguably not even a proper heavyweight LMFAO!

Odds dont make or determine a super fight for me .

Odds of probability of a win still doesnt take away an element of a fight such as punchers chance and clash of styles .

Joshua vs Wilder is the current HW super fight .

Joshua SHOULD be heavily favored but the odds probably wont have it too wide .

I consider this a relatively easy fight for Joshua ,but that doesn't take away the danger factors of Wilders unpredictability . Its still a super fight no matter what the odds are going to be .

Also bc they ARE currently the top 2 champions who haven't lost alone makes it a super fight and the fight is expected to end in a K.O


Povetkin vs Joshua hasnt been built into a super anything and would have absolutely no relevance of Mayweather vs Pacman , in what world ? lol


Povetkin is a top HW , i really dont think not being a super fight at HW takes away from that , even trolling that notion has its limits . lol

Keep fighting old men and robbing the people Stiiffshua. Rich with no respect. If it happens I’m done with the coward. All that money supposedly and can’t pay stepaside money to unify all of the titles.

You have to laugh at these Wilder fanatics trying to downplay Povetkin. Even if we judge Wilder and Povetkin from around the point where Wilder got his paper title. Povetkin still fought the tougher opposition in that time frame. Bar Ortiz Wilder hasn't fought anybody remotely dangerous.

Wilder has the worst resume of all time by era for a HW champion .

Povetkin smokes him career wise but taking the fighter himself ,i would put money on Wilder knocking him out similar to the Ortiz fight give or take a few rounds difference .

Wilder has the danger factor that cant be over looked at 6'7 can punch , but his resume is terrible wheather he got some cancelled fights or not .


I dont expect him to get past AJ which will only give ammunition to further shoot more holes at his career . Hes really in a no win situation .

1 . He defeats guys Joshua has already defeated ( though it strengthens his resume IF he wins ) Whyte or Breazeale .

2 . He loses to Joshua and gets ridiculed .


3 . He fights Kownacki a 17 fight novice and too REAL fans looks like a clown if he takes that fight .



Theres his options .

Hearn is in a pickle, either face the roid cheater Povetkin or pit Joshua with Wilder. Wilder gonna KO Joshua's @SS.

Joshua’s resume is overrated and he’s garbage truck juice. His skills are overrated, he’s a coward, and he’s satisfied with fighting a ****en PED cheat over unifying the titles. ***** ass...
