Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin Expects To Fight Anthony Joshua Next

[alexguiness]

Call me crazy but i believe Povetkin is a legitimate test for Joshua.

He'll offer more of a challenge than Parker did.

hearn doesnt want to negotiate a better deal....

hes stuck with that take it or leave it offer


this is not new info

He's clearly open to it since he has repeatedly talked about waiting for a counter-offer that hasn't materialised.

If he didn't want to negotiate a better deal then he would have made it very plain that there is no room for counter offers. What he's actually said is "I've heard nothing from the other side"

He's not going to send a new offer just because they haven't replied to his previous one. They need to get this **** moving.

Lmao... and??? Atleast they were winning the fights before they finished him. Wilder was actually struggling. Bryant Jennings made it look so damn easy too

Wilder almost took his life.

So why did you even bother posting the gif? Povetkin dominated the fight. Took a shot from a heavy hitting heavyweight, recovered and brutally finished him.

Results are what matter which is why I brought up szpilka

its david fuggin price


youve got to be kidding....

where you hyping up tony thompson when he beat him twice?

Wilder almost took his life.

How's that relevant to what I was saying? Soft hitting Bryant Jennings stopped him anyway

He's clearly open to it since he has repeatedly talked about waiting for a counter-offer that hasn't materialised.

Eddie Hearn, who promotes IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs), has no intention of paying more than $12.5 million to WBC champion Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs).

how quickly some forget.....

[bigjavi973]

Szpilka would also be put to sleep by Povetkin. And most likely in less time too. Jennings and Kownacki aren't even knockout artists but still stopped Szpilka.

you can be a light puncher and beat people/get stoppages because of the accumulation of punches no?

Honestly what does that have to do with anything? Povetkin beat price with ease. Wilder struggled with szpilka. Get over it

Don't pretend szpilka is anything better

[RapidSon]

So Wilder is a coward ducking Joshua after all?

Na offering a fighter a flat fee of BS rather than a percentage of the revenue when more is on the line is ducking.

[Redgloveman]

how quickly some forget.....

Is that supposed to be compelling?

A statement from a guy who just made an offer that he doesn't intend to go beneath that offer?

How about Wilder saying 50/50 or no fight... did that show no intent to negotiate? Or does the fact that he's now changed his position suggest that statements of intent to stick with an original offer might not always be gospel

If Hearn is saying that he's waiting for a counter offer NOW, doesn't that suggest that he's open to counter offers NOW?

Look, I'm a fan of Wilder, I just wish he'd get this **** done because I want to see the fight
