I'm the biggest Joshua fan in America. This is tremendously ******.

Povetkin has the style and skills to give hell and maybe even beat AJ and Wilder.

Obviously its a sarcastic over the top troll thread . One that should be reposted when the fight happens which is going to be a huge mismatch like most of his fights .

Then this OP can do a thread why the HW division should take a break or bar Joshua from competing .......... thats the next course of action Mr. Punch,do that one .

Of course not! Alexander Povetkin might give Anthony Joshua his toughest fight till date. He has the best punch resistance out of any boxer Joshua has fought so far and is also the second most powerful puncher that he has faced after Wladimir Klitschko. That combination could prove deadly! If there isn't a significant decline from aging, Povetkin could very well push Joshua all the way to a close decision. I don't see a knockout happening from either guy. If a KO happens, Povetkin is more likely to KO Joshua than vice versa due to better Povetkin possessing better punch resistance. Both have relatively even power! Povetkin's stamina is slightly better.

I think Povetkin's declined mental sharpness and reflexes from aging is what's going to give Joshua the main advantage in this bout. And Joshua is also physically the strongest boxer Povetkin would've faced after Wladimir Klitschko which is another significant advantage Joshua will possess that will enable him to gain the upper hand. Joshua's ability to out-muscle Povetkin may be the most decisive factor in this match up.

Close fight which I score 8-4 for Anthony Joshua!

AJ will teach the white honky the true meaning of staying humble.

I think with Joshua's body type + stamina issues that come with that body type anyone who can take him into the deeper rounds has a chance to upset him. So sure I could see Povetkin do it.

Wouldn't pick it to happen, doubt I'd bet on it happening unless Povetkin was a +800 or worse dog probably, but I could see it happen all the same.

Povetkin is pretty humble! His problem is he's too brave for his own good. This feels like a disgustingly gruesome match for Povetkin which I don't want Povetkin to take because he could probably have his life permanently damaged by Joshua.

I like Alexander Povetkin as a boxer. Been a big fan of him as a boxer for awhile now. He is one of my favourite Russian boxers. I've defended him over the PED nonsense because there are lots of misconceptions surrounding the issue. Including over the validity, accuracy and reliability of drug testing in the current era. I also believe he is a very brave boxer fighting in the heavyweight division against giants as a very small sized man who probably doesn't even belong in that weight division.

However, Alexander Povetkin is a 6 foot 1 boxer who is arguably a natural light heavyweight / cruiser weight without additional / extra weight in his body. He doesn't belong in the same ring with the likes of Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder or Tyson Fury.

I personally believe Alexander Povetkin is asking for a death / suicide wish fighting against someone like Anthony Joshua. This might just be a gruesome public UK slaughter / execution awaiting the poor Russian. I don't want to see the poor guy badly torn apart, limb to limb and have his body divided into sequential parts by the astronomically stronger Anthony Joshua and appear like an executed / slaughtered animal

Povetkin lacks the punching power to be anything more than a minor nuisance to the significantly stronger, tougher and durable Anthony Joshua. Due to being a relative feather-fist. Joshua may just walk right through every one of Povetkin's weak feather fisted punches. Povetkin also lacks boxing skills to make up for his lack of size. Oleksandr Usyk would be a more challenging opponent for Joshua than Povetkin because he is taller, rangier, bigger and significantly more skilled.


This bout will again prove to the world and public how physically weak Russians are, compared to African Americans and African British just like how Ward proved how weak Sergey Kovalev is in comparison. I think it's about time Russians stop embarrassing and humiliating themselves in public as such weak humans trying to challenge the much stronger boxers.


I doubt this match would last more than 3 rounds and it wouldn't surprise me at all if Povetkin gets put to hospital in the very first round or even sent to his very coffin. He may just have his head decapitated by the first power punch or upper cut that Joshua lands flush.

Anthony Joshua is going to be FAR TOOOOOOOOOOO strong and powerful for the brave Alexander Povetkin who doesn't understand exactly what he's getting himself into. Povetkin is going to be totally manhandled, out muscled, dominated and treated like a little rag doll or a new born baby by the strongman Joshua.

All I can say to his fans is be careful what you wish for! This is one of the biggest proposed mismatches I've seen in awhile now.

Let's hope Povetkin doesn't get past David Price because he might even get destroyed by Price. But if he somehow does get past Price, be prepared for the public execution / slaughter to occur in the UK to the brave Russian Povetkin.

Don't say I didn't warn ya!

Headvetkin is an option and a way out so that Joshua doesn't have to face Wilder.
