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

Perfect fight if the Wilder fight falls through. A classic matchup too. Just make sure there's a fair referee.

Steroids don't give you an infinite amount of stamina hence why Canelo punch output through most fights is generally always low, the roided up version of Nelo who fought GGG gassed halfway through the fight just like AJ who gassed through the Parker fight...
Steroids aren't some sort of magical pill that will double your stamina and double your lift, but they will give you an unfair advantage in training fitness hence why an awkwardly tall guy like Joshua is capable of retaining the muscularity and power that he has whilst doing all the hard cardiovascular work that follows a true boxing regiment.

I'm not expert on PEDS but it was my understanding that some of them do indeed improve stamina issues in athletes and of course there are other drugs than steroids. But let's leave that there.

On AJ's supposed use of PEDS, you don't seem to have any problem stating as fact something which you cannot possibly be certain of. I can't definitively say that he's not on them any more than I can prove there's not a teapot orbiting Saturn. I don't however think it justified to libel someone's character so definitively without any evidence other than the naked eye and some supposition.

So I don't think we'll agree on this.

It'd be a mismatch like it was against Wladimir Klitschko for Povetkin.

That referee was terrible. He made the fight an eye-sore.

[sammybee]

if Josh can't beat this old man then he is a bum.

Agree, bad for the sport.

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

[nacho daddy]

Problem with that is that PED use doesn't necessarily equate to a chiseled set of abs. There's guys using who look pudgy and out of shape and others who are clean, at least as far as we know, that look fantastic.

That's why we have testing. Joshua is possibly the most tested boxer in the sport and he's yet to fail a test.

In any case, if you want to use your eyes why don't you take account of his gassing halfway through a fight? If you only take note of evidence that supports your case and not that which undermines it you've blown all claims of being objective.

so was lance armstrong

This fight must happen either in late summer or early autumn this year.

[True That]

And I want you to STFU immediately PEDvetkin!
