Comments Thread For: Nelson: Povetkin is a Serious, Serious Threat For Anthony Joshua

[frosty-g]

Ring Magazine Top Ten Heavyweights
(1) Joshua
(2) Wilder
(3) Povetkin
(4) Parker
(5) Ortiz
(6) Whyte
(7) Breazeale
(8) Miller
(9) Kownacki
(10) Fury

Joshua Has fought 5 of 9 top fighters in the division & that's not including Vlad Klits! Wilder has faced only one of the top ten heavyweights which was Ortiz! By the end of next year its possible you can add Wilder & Fury to that list to make it 7 of 9 for Joshua! So please tell me why people are claiming Joshua is afraid to fight Wilder? One guy has 20 pro fights while the other has 40 pro fights! How does the guy with 20 pro fights resume is 10x better than the guy with 40 pro fights? I know we live in a world that's full of hate but I recall those same so call boxing fans who's jump on Wilder's bandwagon was hating him 12 months ago! Everyone seems to be emotional when it comes to AJ/Wilder but if you sit your emotions to the side for a moment & check the facts, you will see there is no comparison when it comes to their careers! Men lie, women lie, numbers don't!

the ones that he has fought are absolutely useless. Parker excepted perhaps, but still not that great. Ortíz is better than those that Joshua has faced. i don't even like Wilder at all but that's the truth of it.

anyone know if they are enforcing vada testing?

[Curt Henning]

if povetkin were truly a threat they wouldnt be fighting him

why would you fight a bigger threat for less money? isnt povetkin a bigger threat than the windmiller who fights nothing but bums?

sure hes not! and if he were then theyd be fighting wilder instead!



these brittards would have you believe wilder fights nothing but bums and stinks...yet logic dicatates he is viewed as much more of a threat than povetkin

[Tony Mangtana]

Joshua wins, but Povetkin will give him a good test.

AJ by British stoppage with Povetkin getting massacred on the ropes

Bltch @$$$ coward needs to get that Africa tattoo cut off from his persons!

Nelson just being the usual companyman, obviously he won't mention how his countryman AJ ran from the 50 million he asked for to fight for less money against a much smaller, much older and "Less" threatening opponent who doesn't hold a title!

Won't be watching as it's easy to see who will win plus the circumstances!

[Digital Mouth]

Serious my ass!
Has anyone watched the Wladmir vs Povetkin fight?
Wladmir smashed him to bits and AJ will do the same.

[Kiowhatta]

The only danger in this fight is if Joshua lets Povetkin inside and within striking distance.

In other words, he's got a punchers chance. His style is far too limited to really threaten AJ.

It's a good fight as a prelude to hopefully fighting Wilder next year.

Lol, thats the sky sales pitch. Not that i don't think anyone at HW is dangerous, but Sky were clever. They did what they wanted to do, with the Wilder/Whyte fight (Which didn't happen) with Povetkin/Price, that KO has generate a lot of interest and helped push Povetkin to AJ fans over here. They got the effect that they wanted. Had Wilder taken that fight and knock Whyte out, i have no doubt he would probably get a good % from any future Joshua fight.
