Honestly, of the 3, Joshua has shown more dog. I think that’s what will tip it in his balance.

Had Pov 4-2 before that round. Froch’s scorecard was horrible. As was the actual judges cards. AJ did Pov a favour ending it early. Good TKO win but came with a poor performance.
He was definitely reaching to have given AJ the 3rd. That was a clear Povetkin round.
BS had Povetkin take round 1, 3, 4, 5
Good score.

Sky say there’s a lot on AJ’s shoulders.. but its them that put the bloody load on him.

I agree with that, I remember watching the Klitschko fight and you got the impression at times that he likes it in there.

A 70% Tyson will play with him.
Lol Fury could barely hurt Stephan Stephanie or whatever the fvck his name was. I’m surprised that guy had a boxing record
Fury gets smashed easy by Joshua or Wilder. They ain't coming to stare at him.

Campbell Mendy was entertaining just very one sided.
Pleased he got the win and looked good doing it but as it was so one sided didn't do it for me .
Early on I thought Mendy was trying to wear him down to come on strong late on but apart from a minute in the eleventh it just never came. Not sure why you’d come to throw so little.
I think in his and his corner's minds they had done enough from their reaction, funny how people see fights .
Aimlessly chasing down your opponent whilst catching plenty coming in doesn't really cut it .

Yeah Joshua is the only natural fighter of the 3 imo. Wilder is more athletic and Fury is a better mover, but Joshua is definitely the best fighter.

That right hand is AJ's get out jail free card. Very good fight as I expected. Someone saying a 70% Fury plays with Joshua is on Crack. Fury at 100% might win the fight, but he certainly doesn't play with AJ, no way.

He loves a fight. He’s a fighter 100%
Wilder stands the best chance because he can switch anyone off.
Fury might outbox Joshua when they fight but st some point Joshua will go all out and put it on him, especially if he’s clearly losing. That’s where trouble starts for Fury.
Joshua has flaws absolutely but he’s a fvcking nightmare for both, no doubt.
They are lucky he didn’t take up boxing aged 10.

Mate I sat and watched the fight with my son and when Pov was walking to the ring with his hood up he said he looked like Ricky Hatton
He also said 'Hearn looks like he got his suit from Primark'.... He's fuckin 10

Cracks me up at times

Easy to forget he’s only 22-0 too. Some fighters are still fighting nobodies at this point. Got to appreciate how fast they’ve moved him on. Wilder is 40-0 and Ortiz was his first real test.

The commentary on sky is pure aids. I really wish that they would give the viewer the option of having no commentary. So just the sound of the crowd and the punches landing, etc.
I remember talking about that with someone else before and they said they wouldn't do it as it would mean the commentators would be out of a job. Well so be it then! Get better commentators then if more people would rather have no commentary but atleast give people that option if they would prefer it.

I've said the same about football for years. Lower the crowd a little and let us here the punches/kicks/whatever.
We get to hear most of the noises in darts and snooker.

A few people on the guardian claiming a robbery for Mendy in the Campbell fight.
Has there ever been a fight that wasn’t a robbery?
