Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Believes Alexander Povetkin Should Retire

[joseph5620]

One ko loss amd retire? He hurt AJ at times , and could potentially still beat him or Wilder on a good day. Boxing community is very unforgiving

He's 39 years old. He won't be getting any more shots at the the title any time soon either. Povetkin himself said r that was probably good last shot.


Povetkin will never beat Wilder or Joshua. His"good days" are when he's on PED's. He won't be getting away with that anymore. Not in championship fights.

Wilder makes Rahman look like an ATG. Wilder wouldn't be a top 20 in the 90s.

If Rahman could do it, Wilder could too IMO. Even if it meant being brutally KO'd by an avenging Lewis in a rematch.

Povetkin´s game plan was spot on: All Or Nothing. He was fighting for victory and championship, not survival, and went out on his shield.

Windmill is going to run in a Joshua fight just like he did in the Stiverne fight for long stretches.

[MisanthropicNY]

No, not really. He just want him to fight someone with a pulse under 40.

No way Ortiz was under 50. Please someone show me a legit copy of his birth certificate from the Dominican Republic. Ortiz was at least 53. He looks older than Foreman did.

Funny that nobody is talking about him retiring because he rocked Windmill and the ref had to save Windmill.

I legit believe that Wilder can't even beat Wlad or Vitaly right now.

Why would Povetkin retire? He put up a good showing against Joshua until he got caught

I had him 4-2 up after 6 but could've seen 3-3 too

I'd be happy to see him fight Wilder if he can get another win or two first

So because one guy pulled a huge upset that lasted all but a few months, you think a guy who was rocked by a 53 year old Ortiz and had to be saved by the ref and a guy who ran from Stiverne could do it too?

You also realize that Rahman throws his right hands like a professional boxer is supposed to and Windmill doesn't?

It's a Wilder fan boy way of trying to downplay Joshua's win. No one said 53 year old Ortiz should retire did they?

Yeah dude. It's called a puncher's chance (remember when Rahman took advantage of his?), and if you haven't noticed, Wilder is a heII of a puncher, that throws fast and awkwardly. It's amazing that when we talk about how anything can happen in boxing, panties don't get twisted until talking about very specific people.

To reiterate: if Rahman could pull it off, then yes, I believe that Wilder and his unholy power would at least have the same slight chance. I don't even see why that's an issue, outside of a Wilder hate boner lol

I agree that he'd have a puncher's chance. You aren't going out on a limb much by saying that though. JS.
