Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin Expects To Fight Anthony Joshua in The Fall

[SAINTSTEVE]

the risk of AJ losing is there just as much as there is a risk for wilder

probably much less for wilder if he fights dominic and AJ fights povetkin....id say povetkin is a bit more dangerous

and lets not forget....many like to walk around and say "we saw Ortiz nearly upset wilder"....but wilder never left his feet...weve seen AJ hit the deck and look gassed as hell......wilder didn't have to get up against Ortiz and has great stamina

I think it was Wilder who had the harder opponent last time around and Joshua this time. But Wilder talking about beating up the winner of the cruiserweight tournament, I'm not totally against it actually because he will be the undisputed champion.
The only undisputed champion atm is the Norwegian woman.
Also on a side note Ortiz vs Whyte is the fight I want.

Another "RISK FREE" past prime 39yr old easy fight for AJ in the fall! Not to worry though, his fans will eat it up as though he was fighting Lennox or Holyfield in the big SCARY U.S!! Ahhhhhh, what joy it must be for the BIG muscular imposing AJ in his COZY FAMILIAR UK settings......what a brave domesticated champ!!!

i think wilder is talking about the cruiser fight because he feels Joshua might not fight him even next.....obviously AJ is prob going to fight povetkin next....and after that he might try to fight fury....and that would be a tough scenario for wilder because he would be left with another rather uninteresting fight while waiting

so i think the only interesting thing for wilder would be to fight the usyk/gassiev winner if AJ pushes wilder off another two years which could possibly happen

imagine AJ fights povtekin...then fury...then takes a light touch defense....then decides he wants to fight wilder....would leave wilder kind of stuck...and i think wilder kind of sees this path for AJ after feeling AJs people aren't serious about making a fight soon...

we shall see...i just feel like the cruiser talk is because sans fury/AJ there aren't any interesting wilder fights and he feels he might get frozen out for awhile from them

[SAINTSTEVE]

Fury in my mind is a has been Until he proves otherwise, I have no reason to believe he can return to top form. I really hope he doesn't get a shot at Joshua before Wilder.
Fingers crossed that Joshua Wilder and GGG Canelo rematch still happen because I don't think either of them is totally dead, just yet! Maybe by the time I finish typing this they will be lol.

Wilder can never be an A side to any top boxer. Haymon can't even secure him a bid to bring potvedkin to the US.

Wilder is a world champion an will travel and wants to travel the world defending sofia.. in a purse bid wilder will get 75 percent of the purse for the trade of location. Haymon is his advisor.. dibela is acting as his promoter. billion dollar Hearns on the Other hand just lost his purse bid for "whyte the u.k shyte " dat fool is on his way to Bulgaria for 25% of the purse. Which is about 300k. lol"

[fullers]

People have been saying for months Joshua and hearn were going to set fight for povetkin and swerve wilder. At least doubters now see aj and hearns lies

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

It’s going to be hilarious when he fails a 3rd test lol. As long as he isn’t affiliated with showtime fans don’t care doe

If Wilder goes to cruiserweight.. somebody will die In a brutal slaughtering.

[SAINTSTEVE]

Wilder wants the #1 cruiserweight and Tyson Fury wants the #70 cruiserweight lol.

[Pennsauken1]

I am not surprised, all the real boxing fans knew this was the outcome, Hearn is a fraud!!!!!
