Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin: I Want The Joshua Fight Immediately

[eco1]

You really need proof for this? Use your god damn eyes man!
I was saying the exact same thing about Nelo before he got popped as well.

Wilder too.

Maybe we should all stop playing doctors and hope for the best fights.

Looks like we will probably be seeing Joshua/Povetkin next. I just read an article with some details about the "take it or leave it" Wilder offer, and it will net Wilder less money than what Parker received. According to the article, the fight is estimated to be worth 56-71 million pounds, with Wilder getting 8.8 million of that. That equates to a 12-15% cut for Wilder, making it an 85/15 purse split. Wilder is a much bigger draw than Parker, and Parker got a 33% cut with a guaranteed amount of 13 million pounds. Heck, they paid Charles Martin about the same amount for the IBF belt. Joshua/Wilder is a mega fight, and its for all of the belts, including the ring magazine belt. This is duck offer, plain and simple.

Nothing about Wilder screams steroids. Not unusual considering his genetics.

That's a funny one as an example! That's probably the reason why his chin and punch resistance is very good. Those guys better be careful not to break their fists on the world engine head after landing an awry punch or two. Or even a good punch or two.

World engine head > fists.

Guess WBA hasn't updated their rankings because Povetkin is still listed as #1 contender, not the mando. They'll probably update it soon.

Lol, lmao...

Joshua will not risk losing to a white man.

It would destroy his humble legacy.

A victory for Povetkin would basically destroy AJ's dream of being the first President of the Global Republic in 2040.

The Russian cyber propaganda machine would crush AJ under its tank tracks.

yes and Joshua is as clean as the driven snow. where do you people come from? is it earth?

Which test did he fail? When he does he’s proven to be a dirty fighter and will face the consequences...which in this sport is a year off on his yacht and world title shot after he ****s out some tomato cans

Which test did he take? Oh that's right! He never took a hair test. Nor a genetic doping test. Nor a test after waking up to test for HGH consumption.

Who cares if he never failed any primitive and incomplete tests?

'Bad for the sport' my ass!
