Comments Thread For: Povetkin: Anthony Joshua is a Strong Fighter, But Has Flaws

[Redgloveman]

Call me crazy, but if all fights were hypothetically made with each fighter in top condition I actually see:

Povetkin beats Wilder
Wilder beats Joshua
Joshua beats Povetkin

I really see Povetkin beating Wilder's guard and laying him out with that big overhand right. Pedvet by KO.

I see Joshua taking too long and being too cautious against Wilder and Wilder timing him with something late in the fight for a KO

and I see Povetkin being unable to get on the inside against Joshua who would keep him at bay with reach and strength and cautious positioning. Joshua by UD.

Carl Takam is small and Joshua couldnt 'Do him in'. Joseph Parker is small and a very weak puncher, you see how that turned out?

Parker a "very weak puncher"?

gtfo, he's got 18KOs in 24 wins. Sure, he's not a murderous puncher but "very weak"?

Look at some of the opponents he didn't knock out:

Takam is known for having a granite chin and has only been legitimately KO'd once

Fury was running all night and Parker couldn't track him down.

Ruiz had never lost so it's hard to make assumptions about his chin, the fight was also fairly even so Parker didn't get a chance to let rip

Sherman Williams has lost 15 times but only been knocked out once

That's 4 out of 6 opponents who didn't get knocked out who you can make reasonable allowances for.

Then there's the journeyman Brice Ritani-Coe who Parker had 6 rounds with - has never been knocked out

and the Cojanu fight where Parker was pretty terrible.

He's no Malignaggi, the guy can punch

Tiny little insects like Povetkin should be of no threat to someone who is relatively a monstrous size like Joshua is. Unless of course, this monster that is Joshua, is just a horrible or boxer. And / or Povetkin is some specially great boxer.

Joey Parkers KO power comes to life when hes fighting Frans Botha, Brian Minto, and Alexander Dimitrenko but when he steps up its a whole different story

-- I say Paul Malignaggi has a better case for KO power in his stoppage of Vyacheslav Senchenko.

The thread was about Anthony Joshua's flaws, try keeping up. All these years on NSB and you don't even know what you are watching? PATHETIC.

This Wilder fanboy was last seen before Joshua-Parker bout. What may have brought him out? Povetkin?

Paulie Malignaggi - 44 wins - 7 KOs

Joseph Parker - 24 wins - 18 KOs

Basically every boxer starts their career with hella KOs, and this slows down as they step up. 3 of Parker's 6 non-KO victories were at world title level.

Just because your name isn't Wilder, Jackson, or Shavers doesn't mean you're a very weak puncher.

Also, I appreciate I've already made my point but it is interesting...

Look at the list of p*ssies who have knocked out Frans Botha before Joseph Parker... clearly his chin is terrible
(note: this is a complete list)

Carlos Takam
Michael Grant
Evander Holyfield
Wladimir Klitschko
Lennox Lewis
Mike Tyson
Michael Moorer

Every single one of these fights were world title fights... apart from Tyson

Ive been covering divisions that actually deliver great fights on a constant basis, you wouldn't know about them as most of you A.J fans only started watching the sport when Joshua bought his first world title from Charles Martin.

Paulie Malignaggi - 44 wins - 7 KOs

Joseph Parker - 24 wins - 18 KOs

Thanks for teaching me boxing, I been here since 2010 and still have trouble doing the boxrec thing.
