What's next for Povetkin?

[KiwiRider]

I think he should retire.
I know what/who I would be doing if I was him

Mmm Mrs Povitkin

Nice job on the fight and the wife for Povetkin

[tigermoth87]

Retire

Might as well go out like Wlad did on a solid losing effort than keep going and end up humiliated at some point.

He was ahead of my cards, fought well. He's not going to beat AJ or Wilder. He's old and only going to decline. Retire.

[Blodhemn]

Povetkin made Joshua look like a bum. Plenty of money to be made if he wants it.

[jujigatame]

I would like to see him fight the Wilder/Fury loser, or maybe Miller or Whyte, but I think the most likely path is a couple more years crushing cans in Russia, followed by retirement.

I think I speak for all non Russians when I say WHO CARES???????????????

Finally can we auto delete any and all Povetkin posts from here on out? It’s like Christmas. Thanks AJ!!!!

you care far more about him then most ppl here do

Thanks for taking time away from your Povetkin Retirement Party that your hosting tonight to reach out to me. Get back now and make sure there’s no empty chip bowls and there’s still something in the punch bowl bro. My condolences to you and the Povetkin Punks. I’m honestly surprised that I haven’t seen a “Povetkin Was Robbed” post. Lmaooooo. Life is good. Hahaha

yet another pov post from you. hes your guilty pleasure

Joshua puts enough power in short punches to get anyone in trouble, wilder loads up like a motherfucker, ortiz had him out on his feet, got caught, we know what happened. povetkin can end wilder's hype-job of a career after fury beat him up all night long. Fury -Joshua will crown the real king of the divison.

[sharpei_louis]

I'd like to see him take on Usyk assuming he beats Bellew.
Matchup suits both fighters - small hw for Usyk to show us how he boxes against a natural - top tier hw and whether he is credible challenger to AJ, whereas Usyk isn't looking like being a puncher at hw so Povetkin would carry some advantages into the fight.
Both at transitional times regarding hw so a great fight.

Also the Russia/Ukraine angle should help shift tickets if it needed an angle!

[Luis Fernando12]

Usyk destroys Povetkin worse than Joshua did. Seriously, it'd only expose Joshua's win to be even worse.

The “Sasha was robbed” b/s will come in 6 months or so....same as “Klichko robbed Sasha” b/s, at a time....

Usyk would win by wide decision (119-109 or 118-110).

Im not so sure after Povetkin's performance vs AJ. remember that even Briedis gave Usyk some troubles.

..I've a big question mark regarding Usyk power as a heavyweight..it surely doesn't come anywhere close to that of AJ's..

Perfomance vs AJ ? The worst outcome for Povetkin, devastating TKO, although I think Povetkin won at least four rounds before the seventh round. Usyk is in his prime, simply I can not imagine tha way for Sasha's victory.

[DrDuke]

Ortiz bout mentionings were good. I like this matchup. Both Povetkin and Ortiz teams should like it. Both of them have just blown their title opportunities. Both of them are old and thus have troubles with gas tanks. Two boogeymen of the division in equal circumstances considering their careers. It could have been a short and entertaining slugfest, which would have grabbed fans' attention.

[ironbeard]

I think the most interesting fight for me with him involved would be against Ortiz.
Funny thing is, that despite there is no price on the table, I wouldn't be surprised if Ortiz actually makes more money against him compared to Ortiz his fight with Wilder.

Povetkin should easely win that fight, by KO in round 1 or 2.

I agree that it is the most interesting fight. However, Povetkin would not win easily.

Maybe let both juicers do their thing and see which 🦖 prevails.

The thing is that a devastating ko loss vs Usyk seems unlikely. Sure Usyk possibly outpoints current Povetkin but i think it's unlikely that Pov gets only 1 or 2 rounds. There is still a question about Usyk chin - i dont suspect he's chinny but who knows how he reacts if someone like Povetkin caughts him. I give 55% chances to Usyk outpoint him, 35% Povetkin by KO, 10% Povetkin PTS.

Gassiev arguably punches much harder than Povetkin and Usyk had no problems taking Gassiev's punches on his chin.

You really believe that Gassievs punches harder than Povetkin? And other thing is that Povetkin gets inside much much better, throws combinations from many different angles. Povetkin punches harder and has better abilities to caught someone with a deadly punch. I cant even imagine Gassiev getting inside vs AJ.

Gassiev knocked Jordan Shimmell out unconscious for near 10 minutes, if not longer with one left hook in the first round, and that was the first and only punch he landed clean in the entire fight.

Find me one KO Povetkin has, that is anywhere near as brutal or devastating as that KO.

Povetkin lacks power and that's one of his weaknesses in reality.
