This is getting asinine. Ortiz is no where near wlad in terms of skill. Ortiz is a good win for Wilder, but Joshua was wayyy more impressive.
Not only is wlad more skilled, tougher and a bigger name, but AJ walked through hell in that fight to survive. Wilder was 10 secs from being ktfo and got saved by the bell.
I have to agree here.
Having said that, I don't think that highly of AJ. He's good but not the boxing genius people make him out to be.
It's not an impossible task for Wilder.
Judging by the talks of both camps it looks unlikely that we'll ever see this fight though. I wouldn't hold my breath.
what a con artist... This guy came out of retirement, fooled everybody (including me smh...) and now leaves doing straight up nothing.
This is a mockery of the sport.
We don't need your next 3 boring meaningless fights, Fury. Retire now.
the truth of the matter is even if we put these two fighting through eternity, we would get close calls every damn time.
GGG isn't as skillful as Canelo, and Canelo doesn't have the power to KO GGG. It's really a draw.
They canceled a preliminary hearing. The preliminary hearing was to get everyone caught up with the investigation and to rule if there was enough to discipline said athlete. In this case, the investigation is complete, and it has been moved from not just a hearing, but a disciplinary hearing. So, it's obvious they have enough to discipline.
This is a matter of when, not if, he will be suspended. The bigger question is: Will they suspend him AFTER the fight? Or before? :thinking::thinking: If they suspend him before the fight, the fight is officially canceled, not just postponed.
oh I get it now. Thanks, man!
Well Teddy, we're all entitled to our opinions I suppose. "Over-rated" does seem a bit harsh for an undefeated three title belt holder who's fought anyone who would climb into the ring with him.
Thank you for this post.
it's a loss. Jesus Christ, it's not the end of the world. Literally ALL the greatest boxers have losses. Aside from Marciano (Mayweather isn't one of the greats. Too much cherry picking. sorry).
The way I see it, I think Joshua was completely off the whole night. Let's face it: is not like Ruiz was doing boxing magic here. It was incredibly basic and not heavy handed.
Having said all that I do believe one thing about Joshua: his chin is weak. I have no doubt about that.
I don't get it. The only place that you would think would be flooded with insightful comments about CLEARLY the best boxer currently AND the best fight of the year so far, but no, people have to come here and go "yea he's ok. nothing special". Being a snob does not make you special.
Tell me which fight was better than Loma x Linares this year?
AJ's? snooze fest
Wilder's? untill the ko he was getting booed at Barclays
Ryan Garcia? completely forgettable
Charlo? koed a nobody
Tank? ok fight
Broner? average at best
and the list goes on.
I must be watching a completely different sport
He's right. It's pathetic the road Tyson chose.
But then again you can say the same to probably 99% of boxers out there.
Their records are all fake. Buncha W's against tomato cans and endless excuses for not fighting A, B C, or D, "building fights", blah blah blah whatever.
I thought this was a combat sport.
dude, while you're at it bring back Lennox, De La Hoya, Tyson, revive Ali and Marciano.
Meanwhile the current fighters don't fight the best competition and all we have left is watching who makes the most expensive contracts.
what a 5h1t show. seriously.
this may be a bit off topic but Loma needs to fight more. The guy is already 30yrs old and has only 11 bouts.
Just fight this fucking guy. Whatever. But FIGHT
Up next:
"Canelo didn't deserve that!"
- Sulaimán, WBC Pres.
I love that some people here are twisting this whole thing as if it was GGG's fault, though.
Honesty is a rare commodity these days.
People argue that the Klitchko era was the worst. I would argue that boxing today is the worst it has ever been. If wlad and vitali were fighting this crop of guys, they would steam roll. In fact, they would have to fight each other because there would be nobody left.
Dude, 100%. Prime Wlad or Vitali would crush these poor guys.
The media seriously need to stop over hyping these guys.
