What if Povetkin pulls off the upset?

[Master]

If Povetkin pulls off the upset, the look on Eddie's face will be a golden moment.

Wilder-Fury should still go ahead but both would fancy their chances against Povetkin.

There should be a rematch clause in the AJ-Povetkin contract as Eddie will cover all his bases. So Fury v wilder will happen

[X]

There will undoubtedly be a rematch clause.

Despite being a multiple drug cheat, Povetkin has always been a decent fighter .... but he is too small, too slow and too old to beat Joshua in the UK. Walking forward and trying to fight up close (which is Povetkins only tactic, ever) is a recipe for disaster against a bigger, taller, stronger fighter who controls distance well.

What does it say about AJ/Povetkin that people care more about how it affects Wilder/Fury than anything else about the fight? Hahaha, Eddie, tell me again how Wilder will face Breazeale

[Batman]

I'd actually like to see AJ get beat, if he got beat and then worked his way back to the top and won back the belts then it could go a long way towards getting rid of this stigma of the all important 0

Yea delaying the Wilder/Fury announcement until after the AJ fight seems like a ploy to wait on the outcome.

Hearn probably has Povetkin tied to a rematch clause but it will turn all the attention to the Wilder/Fury fight to see who emerges as the winner and the new #1 heavyweight.

I don't think many would rank Povetkin #1 if he wins.

I don't think there's a true #1 in the division right now....AJ, Wilder, Fury all have claim to be the best. They need to all fight each other.

Wlad will come back and whip them all

I think that says more about some fans than the fight. The AJ/Povetkin mandatory is happening while the Fury/Wider fight has not even been announced. If it were not for Fury, Wilder could well be fighting Breazeale. HaHaHa

[Primo Carnera]

If Povetkin did win, why shouldn’t he be seen as #1? If he were to win, because of his age, it won’t shake up the division for too long. But it does put a massive dent in the Matchroom/Sky/AJ Hype bandwagon.

I'm not sure many would rank him over Wilder, although the argument could be justified.

I would probably just chuckle randomly throughout the day. As for Povetkin, a scrap with Wilder would be next. He wouldn't run away and make any excuses.
