Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin Will Have Two More Fights, Then Retire

[DonSexyBeast]

Avoided unbeaten fighters his entire career. Took only two 0's in that time.

Avoided the title picture for a decade while fighting leftovers to maintain rank.

Avoided the gatekeeper role and stopped no one who ever debuted after him from fighting for a title before him.

Publicly asked for delays and special treatment throughout his career.

Best fight is against Chaev for a pretend world title.

Owner of the most clinches in any title fight including years when boxing allowed wrestling in its rules.

Povetkin beat Chambers then looked to maintain position while everyone from Rahman to Fury skipped him to fight Wlad including Chambers himself.

Everyone from Hasim to Tyson....that's a lot of avoiding.


Hey, look at that, I was able to get this far without even bringing up Deontay.

One the WBC side of things Povetkin was exactly the same. He didn't want in position to fight Big V and so Bermane passed his ass up without ever fighting him.

How about the IBF after Wlad? Why were we treated to Martin-Glazkov while the killer Povetkin was around? Maybe because Povetkin was still avoiding the title picture.

I will give Povetkin Joshua. The reason Pov didn't get in the way of Martin-Joshua is because he was busy failing drug tests.

Which finally bring us to Wilder. Two failed drug tests for two different drugs. I'm tired of reading the meldonium excuses without anything that addresses ostracine or the fact that none of these drugs are actually tested for performance enhancement making it all hearsay in court and easy to avoid punishment.


But yeah.....Povetkin's similar to Ortiz....sure. Because Wilder...sure.

Jesus christ man, you obviously have a bone or several to pick. Can tell you are peturbed. Chill out dont waste mental energy on such disdain for a complete stranger.

Why does he needs two more fights? I mean the man should just retire already. He is finished; Over and done. He has no stamina or chin and when he is clean, he ain't shit. He's just a knockout ready to happen.

And still be wilders second best win .

I don't know what is wrong with your generation. I don't even mean that as an insult though you probably take it as one. I really just don't get y'all.

This doesn't have anything to do with bones it has to with history. If Pov had less history there'd be less text.

It's funny, if I regale y'all with the story of Deaf Burke and Jem Ward while making it relative to the present day I'm just a knowledgeable history fan making history relevant to those not normally interested. Right or wrong about my conclusions I still seem to get some level or respect for the facts I present. If I speak on recent history and I am a looney tune. and it isn't just this forum, my ass is everywhere. It's a generational thing. My ass has been everywhere for nearly a decade. Y'all are so wound up in your emotions you project it on to everyone to speak to. I've even seen some old posters who were not so emotional become more emotional as this gen grew. Now highly emotional posting is the norm for all parties.

I don't really care about any of this. I am just an old fan and an inventor. I have nothing else to do but babble and wait for death....same as all men who have already made their way in life.

It isn't me who needs a lesson in apathy.

Ortiz is older and also a cheater lmao..what's the difference. Povetkin also has the better resume

We’ve already said Ortiz was a cheater also like 5 times already lol. Yes he’s 6months older than Povetkin. Just shocking considering AJ fans were killing Ortiz for being old. Povetkin and Ortiz resumes don’t matter. You test positive once people might sympathize with you but when you do it twice it’s obvious you e been cheating your entire career. Cheaters don’t get credit they get a big fat F

I agree..Ortiz and Povetkin couldn't be any more similar. Just as good of a win

Come again mate? My generation? I'm 53 years young I'll have you know. I'm not a fan of your whopping great ego thats being displayed, just what is being insinuated here.

[Pinoy4ever]

He should fight Luis Ortiz

[kafkod]

organisers in england? is Eddie planning a povetkin vs usyk matchup?.. usyk needs to fight someone taller and bigger

The arrangement Hearn has with Usyk and his team is that they pick the opponents and Eddie delivers them.

[Dr Rassclart]

Povetkin achieved nothing. He lost his biggest fights him and Ortiz are both cheaters but I thought this guy was in his 20s the way Joshua fans were talking

You’re pretty new to this sport then aren’t you. Maybe go away & enhance your knowledge before posting further banal, nonsensical cobblers.

Ortiz is a decade older then Povetkin.
