I guess in the sense that he has more to lose than when he fought Wlad. Povetkin doesn't seem to have a lot left either though so I don't feel like this is as big a deal as it would have been 2 years ago.

If a near 40 year old Povetkin ices AJ...does he go down in history as worse than Frank Bruno?

Bruno is considered a legend what are you chatting

[Scopedog]

Honestly this is the lowest pressure option that's acceptable for him to take

[P4Pdunny]

Its still a tough ask and a good name to have on the record. Povetkins a lil older now so if AJ does win, they'll use that stick to beat him with.

Tough one but I don’t think so. I don’t think Bruno was ever unified Champion. However , if a 39 year old heart patient in Ortiz beat the self proclaimed baddest man on the planet would you have deemed Wilder’s record (39-0) as padded?
