Comments Thread For: Povetkin To Start Training in January For Planned April Return

[Guy3008]

Please give us Povetkin vs Miller/Parker/Breazeale on the undercard of Joshua-Whyte 2.

Eddie Hearns is the new Don King for undercards.
Povetkin, Chisora or Parker would be GREAT
round-robin HW battles.

Good post. Povetkin vs Miller would be fun, Miller would be eating bombs for the first five rounds and probably get KTFO.. but IF his chin holds up itīs possible Povetkin runs completely out of steam late. Hearn would have to guarantee AJ fight before Miller agrees tho. As for Usyk, I really think he should fight a big boy. Duhaupas maybe, big durable guy with long reach?

Yeah or maybe Helenius v Usyk. Helenius is decent when he's in fighting shape and a big tall heavyweight. Actually he was beating Whyte up for a 2 or 3 rounds and then gassed because he only had a weeks notice. Whyte took over but couldn't stop him. He nearly had Whyte on ***** street a few times in the early rounds. Going by the first couple of rounds, Whyte is lucky that he give Helenius such short notice to fight.

That'd be a decent first fight at heavyweight for Usyk i think.

As a Finn, I approve. Helenius would start strong, then gas badly and be stopped in ten.

Agree. Although unlikely this is theoretically possible for April. This would be an absolutely epic night at wembley, nobody would even care fury or wilder wasn’t there!

Joshua vs Whyte 2
Parker vs Chisora
Povetkin vs Takam
Usyk vs Hellinios (apologies for spelling!)
Allen vs Price

I'd like to see Povetkin vs Ortiz, battle of the veterans. Povetkin vs Miller would be fun too. But I think neither would fancy facing Povetkin, especially Miller.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Povetkin deserves one easy fight to get back on track. Than Ortiz, Miller or Usyk..

[K Man]

yes.. Usyk needs to progress and fight a good journeyman Hearns has a few horses needing to be put out. Duhaupas or Price could be interesting?.

Hopefully against Usyk on the AJ undercard

Pov would bash and chase Usuck that fight is way too dangerous. Usuck will fight a cherry just like Canelo/Fielding and crooked Hearn will rig it for Usuck.

Povetkin has had a great run but I really think he is shot. I don't like to disrespect fighters who have become gate keepers, its a noble enterprise really... But it just looks like he is going through the motions. At this point if he fights Miller I think Miller would overwhelm him with activity.

Just would like to see him retire in good mental and physical condition. He may certainly have a few more fights left it was just the way he was so quick to stop trying against Joshue.
