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

[petegrif]

Anyone who doesn't take Povetkin seriously is ignorant.
It was when Wilder signed to fight him that I knew had had the balls to step up.

[P4Pdunny]

People not calling Pov much of a chance, I reckon he can spoil this whole party. I wouldn't even mind cos the back and forths between AJ and Wilder's fans is mad annoying.

[TheBigLug]

Nah. He looked crap in his last 2 fights and looks nearly 40.

Nice name to add to the resume by pretending he isn't over the hill. Similar to the Wlad fight in a way.

You know you've got a weak matchup when you're spending more time talking about how good the other guy is than you do talking about your guy

[MASTERBX]

Not true! We already know how Team Anthony Johnson behave towards a Serious, Serious Threat...
They DUCK it!

[Oshio]

No one can fault Povetkin's ability in the ring. Anyone who did is new to boxing

[PunchyPotorff]

Povetkin will always be more of a threat than Povetkin haters will give him credit for. That's a given. But, having seen most of his past dozen or two fights live on TV or PPV, I can say I agree with Nelson. We'll see how it goes in a couple months. IMO Joshua wins, but not without a few scares and tough moments. This certainly won't be Joshua's easiest fight.

He caught him once throwing a punch and off-balance, no where near stopping him

Nah, just rocked his world, that's all. It's not as if another couple of clean blows and Povetkin hits the canvas. What was I thinking? Tut.

That's absolute BS, he stumbled back off balance he wasn't in any danger of being stopped. His legs were fine right after.

Yep. Just a stumble. Not hurt at all.
