Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Sees Povetkin as Biggest Pressure Fight of Career

[alexjust]

Bruno is considered a legend what are you chatting

These days every old timer is considered a legend. What is so legendary about Bruno? Legends should be far and in between, not every retired champion. Have some standards

"Me and Wilder is the best fight in the division right now, not me and Povetkin," Joshua said. "The deal to fight Wilder is still on the table, if it was written off I'd be very annoyed.

"We were working on the fight before I beat Carlos Takam, then it was Joseph Parker and it still hasn't happened... and now it's Povetkin.

"But I want the big one, I am looking past Povetkin now. I want the big guns. I am going to walk through Povetkin and for Wilder the date and location is here

It's a farce.

Yup. He’s going to walk through Povetkin and he knows it. But all that date and location stuff flies out the window if Wilder beats Fury decisively and does good numbers. It’s already out the window, actually.

When is Povetkin vs Johnson.. oh wait?.. I don't give a fu ck!!! Lol. Its all about the lineal championship now!.. Wilder vs Fury PPV!!!!

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.

2 yrs ago, AJ was on fight #16. Fighting a dangerous fighter like podvetkin at that time would be a very risky fight.
Am sure you can't say wilder should fight a fighter like podvetkin at fighters #16.

Wilder at #16 is still fighting retired footballers and waiters.

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

That's a big IF.

[Laligalaliga]

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

At fight #21, has wilder fought any body close to podvetkin level?

Bruno has always been a legend in my eyes

Top bloke

Wilder fought audley Harrison in his 27th fight

His career is a complete joke for a guy with 40 fights

Wilders fans are the worst I’ve seen since pacquio’s bunch of fruit cakes
