Comments Thread For: Hearn: Povetkin Fight Toughest For Joshua Other Than Klitschko

Povetkin is an easy fight. The toughest fight for AJ is Wilder, which is why he is waiting to fight him.

Oh, I don’t know. Similar resumes....Ortiz 29/32 wins by KO....Povetkin 24/35 wins by KO. It’s obvious

Nope, you don't know, and you obviously don't know anything about levels in the sport of boxing either. So pipe down and stop exposing your ignorance.

If that was true, Wilder would have offered to fight him as a voluntary after he was cleared of PED abuse before their mandated fight, like he did with Ortiz.

Just because someone is easy for AJ now doesn't mean they would've been easy for Wilder back then.

Anyway you cut it, by fighting Povetkin instead of Wilder, AJ chose the easier fight!

OK you name me 5 top UK fighters that are really striving for ATG Status? These are my compatriots but I'm speaking facts! Look at Mikey Garcia for example.. The man is tearing through weights actively seeking tough fights what people doubt he has any chance in.. Look at loma the list is endless. But one thing runs common... They all fight in the USA. There's no better feeling then watching a huge fight from Vegas staying up through the night to watch its just great! Thats why I'll be spending my money on Canelo v GGG.. And probably wilder vs fury! Thats all I care about bro. But please feel free to take me up on my bet I pm to you.. And also please name me 5 active fighters from england that are doing what other true greats are doing? We don't got no Crawford. Everything I said about the match room policies is facts! Thats what they do they seek the weakest champs win a belt then make a lil money and retire they dont become remembered globally.. Just by a few uneducated fans like you, man, your sad. Take the bet. Or stop quoting me.

Who care about all this baby weight?

Povetkin is the WBA mandatory challenger, so after the unification with Wilder fell through - for which I regard both sides as being equally to blame - AJ had no choice but to fight Povetkin instead.

Hearn and AJ took a calculated risk by opting for Povetkin instead of going to the States for Wilder. And it is a risk, but not the first one that AJ has taken in his career so far.

Hmmmmmm 24 of 35 and 29 of 32.....

Call me a savant but I do believe 29 of 32 is a much higher percentage than 24 of 35.

**** I’m a genius!

Subject change.. somethings are better left unsaid. If u don't know.. ur not meant to know.. which is why the IRS dont know.. an even if they do know.. they can't do sh it without proof. Haymons stars are Ballin.. an spending way more than they are getting paid. Do they look broke?

Lol. They look no different than you and I only I rock a better watch than most of them and I’m not a fan of wearing your chains over your jumpers or even worse thick pitbull dog chains . Apart from Broner dressing like big bird from Sesame Street , US fighters are doing their thing. I ve heard enough about the tax evasion . You are a brother so when you are weak I’m here to support you to make you strong.😜 and vice versa of course

You regard both sides because you are an AJ fan. If you weren't, you'd acknowledge that Hearn planned to launch DAZN with an AJ fight that wasn't a PPV in the US, which is why the fight "fell through" and is why AJ is fighting Povetkin now, not because he is the mandatory.

He took the weaker opponent so his promoter can launch DAZN. There is no risk involved whatsoever. AJ is getting rightfully criticized everywhere except by his diehard fans.
