It seems like Joshua is fighting better opposition
Joshua is fighting much better opposition. Wilder has been a cherry picker since the day he turned pro. Some of his opponents have been down in the 400th or 500th best by boxrec. AJ is fighting the number 3 top contender Wlad. Wilder only fights good fighters when he has to or lose his title. Given a choice Wilder fights weak opponents.
I'm not judging AJ's boxing skills by his lack of basketball skills.
Truly I'm not....
I'm just pointing out that a 6'6..... BROTHER.... that can't dunk a ball.... on the run .....should sue his ancestors for passing down sh*tty genes.:lol1:
AJ grew up playing football (soccer). There are videos of him playing football and doing skills.. He's pretty good at it.
I guarantee Wilder can't do kick ups and his control of the football will be rubbish. Does that mean he isn't a athlete? No.. It's because he doesn't play football. Soccer required skill and practice just like playing basketball.. Being able to dunk takes skill.
Put both of them on a tennis court and they'll both look crap. They are boxers, not tennis players or basketballers so whether AJ can dunk or Wilder can hit a hole in one at golf is irrelevant.

He can run the hundred metres in 11.5 at 250lbs though.. 'he's not athletic' lmao.
Face it, Wilder will be outclassed and slaughtered with his limited boxing ability.
Wilder also has a 'sandcastle' chin and was KO'd by a 6 foot polish man with head gear on..
You're the most biased poster on this site for black Americans. The nut hugging is embarrassing
Naw
He has a sandcastle chin...plus he's lumbering and too muscle bound..
He's been stopped before...in full headgear.
AJ....6'6 can't even dunk a basketball....on the run:lol1:
A 6'6.....BROTHER....can't even dunk a basketball...there is something wrong.
Everybody in the world knows that the best way to judge a boxers skill is to see how they play basketball. It's a proven scientific way to see what qualities the boxer has.. All the boxing analysists do it and boxing trainers now prefer to let boxers play basketball instead of them doing sparring.
You can often see Max Kellerman and Paulie reviewing tapes of boxers playing basketball. Since AJ can't play basketball and it's �� percent proven that Wilder is a better boxer than him since Wilder was a ex basketballer.
LMAO at your logic.. According to you, LeBron James is the best heavyweights of all time.. He's better than Ali since Ali was too short to dunk. ��

Charles Martin wasn't a legit top 25 heavyweight, tbh; having Glazkov blow out his knee helped launch Martin ahead of schedule.
Joshua and Wilder are at about the same point in their development; Wilder compelled to learn on the job, while Joshua got a bit more time to pick things up in the amateurs.
Hopefully they end up fighting for the undisputed heavyweight championship
Wilder can slam a basketball...he was teasing AJ for not being able too.
A 6'6....BROTHER....that can't slam a ball:rofl:
Somethin' wrong with that boy!
AJ is not athletic enough to avoid what Wilder sends his way.
On the other hand
Wilder can turn AJ all night long.
Wilder isn't 240-260lbs....he has options.
You gotta think of other ways to hate on AJ instead of bringing up a totally different sport. You've been on this same point for months now it's time to move on.

Neither can clit or wilder there is a reason they arnt basketball players..
Not named king kong that is...i expected hearn took ortiz on to set up a joshua fight...but maybe after seeing him up close decided he should palm him off to haymon rather than take the risk.
Joshua will blitz old grand pa ortiz as well
So Molina is worth more when Joshua fought him even though Wilder already whooped that ass?
Martin and Cornish are the worst fighters on those lists.
I'd say Wilder's previous opponents are slightly better.
But if Joshua beats Wlad, that changes everything.
Not the best way to judge imo as Duhuapas is clearly better than Martin despite not being in top 25 when Wilder fought him. Arreola could also be better than Martin.
Martin isnt really a top 25 guy.
I think I would rank these opponents (red: AJ, Blue: Wilder)...
1. Breazeale
2. Szpilka
3. Duhuapas
4. Washington
5. Whyte
6. Arreola
7. Molina
8.Martin
9. Cornish
Maybe just edged to Wilder but all much of a muchness . Very poor for 2 of the top 5 best HW's in the world. AJ is stepping up now, but he could be wildly unprepared for the jump in class. Time will tell.
Szpilka is better than anyone on Joshua's reord with that said Wilder was losing that fight like he was the Washington fight and their is the small matter of Joshua is more effective against common opposition.
For me Joshua is better, has he ever lost a round ?
Artur Szpilka is a c level HW fighter at best. The fact that Wilder struggled with him is just another proof of how limited and overrated he is.
AJ blasts his Szpilkas out. Wilder does not.
Szpilka is better than anyone on Joshua's reord with that said Wilder was losing that fight like he was the Washington fight and their is the small matter of Joshua is more effective against common opposition.

Szpilka is terrible ,lol

Ortiz is already off Hearn it was a one fight thing and Joshua would break his old ass down like he's doing clit in a few weeks.
Joshua murders any heavy
