The Wilder Excuses Begin

[Master]

True, we all want the fight made and do not particularly care how much they get. They have representatives who are paid to negotiate the best deal. I just hope the fight is made before Wilder loses.

Or AJ, a win over Povetkin is no sure thing.

You said the same thing about Parker. AJ beats Povetkin just as easily.

So AJ is invincible now? Anything can happen in a fight, especially with heavyweights, but I never once thought AJ would lose, barring something bizarre happening.

Povetkin, even this old version is a much tougher fight, styles make fights. Look back at my posts about Parker before the fight, I kept saying he needs to stop going backwards, backing up to the ropes and corners. When he stood his ground and lead he had success in that fight. Povetkin will be much more aggressive.

Parker did nothing really in the fight, AJ laughed at his basic attack. AJ is not invincible but he is too big and skilled for Parker and Povetkin's of the world.

I like AJ as much as the next man. But I reckon it’s a bit blasé to think he’s “too skilled” for Povetkin.
I honestly believe Povetkin of 5 years ago would probably beat the AJ of now.
Maybe Povetkin has gone slightly over the hill and the (deserved) drugs bans have fucked up his momentum, but I still think he gives AJ Problems.

The Povetkin version that fought Wlad would give AJ problems but that was 5 yaers ago and he is not the same fighter as he was then. He has slowed down and looks more vulnerable.

The Povetkin version that fought Wlad would ask AJ to jump on his back repeatedly throughout the fight, just for old times sake.

I believe that AJ rose to the height of his career when he defeated Vladimir. He will never be able to Eclipse that performance.

He is right for the taken especially after two piss poor performances

That may be true, but you are beginning to sanctify AJ Like is the second coming of Muhammad Ali when you say he’s too skilled for an experienced guy like Povetkin.
Like I said, I like AJ, but he has a lot of improving to do . At this moment, he is a physically chiselled best of a bad bunch.

Yea @Master is starting to enter AJ fan boy territory.

If you think that Povetkin of five years ago would beat AJ today then you either think that AJ is awful or you are really overrating Povetkin.

I've been saying for a long time Povetkin will iron Wilder and is Joshua's biggest threat. He's not flashy, has no bells and whistles but he's the most rock solid all-round fundamentally, easily proven to be the toughest, years of top-class experience, certainly has the pop (explosive slip inside left hook has got the big boys names written all over it) and although methodical, produces enough bursts to always be dangerous.

The Wlad fight is basically irrelevant (styles and all.. plus he didn't look like he had the supercow pumping through his veins then), however, Wlad should have been DQ'd in the first round, needed to make in a non-fight and still couldn't get rid of him.

Wilder and Joshua will try to take his head off which inturn gives him a great chance of taking theirs

Yea @Master is starting to enter AJ fan boy territory.

Stop that! I am just saying AJ beats Povetkin as easily as he did Parker.
