Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua-Povetkin Deal Close, Wilder's Time Running Out

[JWHardin]

Team Wilder plan in full effect ...if his ridiculous 40% isnt met .


1 . Stall negotiations ( accomplished )

2 . Let the clock run out where Joshua has to make Povetkin deal. ( in the works )


3 .His idiot fanbase will back him up .

4. They will still cry about it and blame Hearn ..lol

Strike the name Hearn and insert Wilder, then you have it right.

Povetkin is a threat to anyone, anywhere.

Don't disagree.

I see him as just as dangerous for AJ, if not more so, than Wilder.

Its debatable, but I'd say Wilder is more dangerous due to his awkwardness which I suspect Joshua will have issues with win or lose. Povetkin is textbook largely, not that textbook is easy at the level Povetkin is at, it could be a nightmare, but I think there are just more paths to victory for Wilder than for Povetkin when I think about this fight & how it'll likely go down.

I think Joshua is afraid to fight Wilder because, Joshua has no jab. If Ortiz had fought Joshua he would have beaten Joshua. There's a reason why Ortiz was dropped by Hearn.

Cos wilder will fight breazeale, he has suddenly become dangerous with strong chin. The guy is a bum with only 10% chance to cause an upset.

Breazeale is always dangerous ,you obviously dont study fights .

I get it your not allowed to give Wilder opposition credit but the reality is its a risky fight for him .


Though when Joshua is an option who has defeated Breazeale theres no justifiable reason for Wilder to take that route .

You probably didnt even know Washington was Breazeale weaker stable mate who took 4 rnds from Wilder but whatever this convo is going to go nowhere you even said Breazeale has no power yet has a 85 %K.O percentage.......its a waste of time here .

Wilder in 40 fights ; top 5 ranked fighters ( stiverne LOL and 50 year old ortiz)

Joshua in 22 fights (soon) will have unified; with Parker, Takam, whyte, klitschko,brezeale, and now povetkin on his resume

Every heavyweight you named sucks big time with the exception of the greatly diminished Klitschko
Wilder would gave knocked everyone of them into retirement. Net analysis is that Joshua has looked like crap in his last three figjts, not the world beater his fans have tried to make of him.
Reaching out, ***** me, ***** yoooouuuu

AJ confirmed return date is 22 or 29 September at Wembly Stadium. Its either Povetkin or Wilder the opponent.

It's seems they are afraid to fight each other!

Povetkin is washed up. He brutally knocked out Price, but not before that corpse scored a knockdown of his own. Joshua will make quick work of him.

This outcome wasn't predictable or anything....smfh

Pathetic

We were supposed to be discussing Wilder vs Joshua, and what are we doing? Discussing Wilder vs Povetkin, a man we KNEW Wilder could beat. Not just because of Tyson Fury letting us know that Povetkin was raised by either a feminine male or a woman. Wilder, you're a *****, a *****, good luck getting recognition from the gods of boxing after ducking the man, **** you, you deserve whatever happens to you, which I'm sure won't be too bad, you *****.
