    Is Povetkin A More Difficult Opponent For Joshua Than Wilder Would Be?

    Stylistically speaking, does Povetkin potentially represent a more difficult opponent for AJ to fight, or would Wilder's unorthodox style be more challenging for AJ?

    What's the harder fight for AJ? Povetkin or Wilder?

    Povetkin is going to do all the work for Joshua and probably wont last 5 rnds .


    Wilder wont last long either unless Joshua fights cautious but he will have to make Joshua think much more with eradic movements and a long reach .

          Pedvetkin should be allowed to juice up for an even playing field. and then he has a chance.

          Without the juice hes just a 39 yr old depleted bum.

          AJ's last two performances have been colossal stinkfests. let's hope he turns it up a notch against this old Russian.

                He's certainly a more difficult opponent, than Wilder with Breazeale as an opponent. Povetkin vs Joshua trumps Wilder vs Breazeale.

                    If he wasn't 39 and didn't look like **** in his last 2 fights, then maybe stylistically he would be a dangerous opponent.

                    Right now, probably not. Anyway, i think Wilder is a bad style for AJ. AJ is hardly a defensive master and quite stiff & upright. He'll be right there for Wilder's right hand.
