Pov and Ortiz are pretty much the same age. Ortiz is slightly better. Bollocks. Povetkin beats Ortiz. With luck that fight might well happen. And as if your girly fangirl post wasn’t already obvious you are seriously stating Ortiz is the same age as Povetkin? 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Ortiz is minimum 6 plus years older.

Speaking to Yahoo Sports, Wilder said: He didn’t hurt me at all, but the simple fact is that my uniform was way too heavy for me. I didn’t have no legs from the beginning of the fight. In the third round, my legs were just shot all the way through. But I’m a warrior and people know that I’m a warrior. It could easily be told that I didn’t have legs or anything. A lot of people were telling me, ‘It looked like something was wrong with you.’ Something was, but when you’re in the ring, you have to bluff a lot of things. I tried my best to do so. I knew I didn’t have the legs because of my uniform. I think Wilder is brain damaged. Losing the HW Title of Alabama has clearly affected him. If he is daft enough to take a third fight against Fury he might very well end up seriously hurt. His best bet is fight a few more lower end fighters (just take his pick from his past record) or retire.

That body-builder doesn't have the stamina to outbox anybody. So why is he 20-0? Luck? His last fight was poor, but against say Molina (who gave Wilder problems) and Breazeale he dominated the fights. He does need to lay off the weights as I don't see how it can help him.

Not Wilders biggest fan and still rate AJ, but that performance was poor. Takam did well, and that head but must have hurt, but he only had a few rounds where he looked anything like his other matches. Was winning it easily (stoppage a bit early for me) but not what you would expect.

Ward gets knocked out. Pound for pound he is a better fighter but not a chance that makes up for the weight/reach/size difference. He would look very small in a ring with AJ as he would with most HW's. I also don't see Ward taking the shots that Takam shrugged off.

If moving up in weight has any benefit, it's increased durability. We saw Bellew eating flush power shots from Haye that put guys like Chisora out cold, Toney another guy even smaller than Ward never been stopped at HW, even Adamek had a ton of success moving up, Ward is much better than all these men. I think Ward is too small in the end but I do think he could cause AJ problems. Landing on a small target is EXTREMELY difficult, I've even seen Wilder sparring some no-name guy around 5'10, looked like a SMW at the biggest, and Wilder could NOT land. Wilder was getting thoroughly out-boxed, as a Wilder fan it was embarrassing, I was like WTF? But then I started to realize, punching downwards, finding that small target, is extremely difficult. Oh I agree I think Ward dances around AJ for as many rounds as it takes one of those punches to connect. But one would eventually land.

I been saying for centuries that fury and wilder would make "EZ" work of AJ. Never got the AJ hype he is/was a bodybuilder with brawling boxing skills. Nothing special about him. If he was the 6 foot he would be nothing. I think you just fall into the category of over hyping those two. Still waiting for Wilder to step into the ring and prove how good he is against a top contender. Gutted Ortiz was a cheating **** as that would have been a great fight for Wilder. I think AJ and Wilder are at the same level but each with different weaknesses.

Don't blame McGreggor given the money he made. I would say that fans aren't that stupid to get taken in again and pay to watch an amateur fight a 40 plus year semi-retired boxer, but reading these forums would suggest otherwise :D

Look at Wilders record, its pathetic. He has no excuses and unless he gets in the ring and faces the best he will go down in history as the worst HW champion the sport has ever seen. The only reason he hopes AJ gets popped is he knows he will lose. Wilders time is up, he needs to face the best or retire. AJ in only 19 fights has a better record :D Whereas Ortiz needs to be banned for wasting everyone's time.

AJ lacks the stamina and speed to not get KTFO by Wilder. Reume's don't win fights...fighters do. AJ is still green and yet he would still easily be the best fighter that Wilder has fought. Wilder would not be the best he has fought in only 19 fights. Wilder's record is pathetic and only a rabid fanboy could possibly think differently. He was piss scared of Klitschko, washed up or otherwise. Hell, Tyson Fury could walk out of his local pub and walk all over Wilder.

Dillon Whyte. I think Wilder would win but Whyte would be dangerous and he at least has heart and a pulse.

At this stage of his career AJ gets knocked out, Tyson would be too fast and powerful. Saying that I would say AJ hasn't peaked and he has room for improvement so the question might be better answered in 10 years time. As much as I rate AJ (good and should get better) he would need one hell of a career to change my mind vs a prime Tyson.

Nah he exposed it. Joshua chinny he took a straight right hand on the chin from klitschko and WENT DOWN THATS glass Making yourself look a bit clueless saying things like that. AJ needs to lose some of his muscle, it would sharpen him up and sort out his fitness.

Why are we talking about Tyson Fury?

Hearn does not control the HW divison pay him what he asked or get the **** out of here proclaiming he is the best. Remember Tyson had to fight spinks to prove he was the man and Spinks demanded a lot of money at the time no your history i dont blame him, he has been to England before when has a prospect . Joshua not even fought out of england Hearn doesn't control the HW division but whether you think AJ or Wilder is the best the one thing that is an absolute fact, is AJ (and therefore Hearn) is the money maker. Wilder with an unlucky run of cheats and a terrible resume previous to that is way way behind AJ in potential earnings. Wilder is without doubt second best when it comes to negotiations and Hearn knows it. Saying that should Wilder ask silly money? Yes, its his living why wouldn't he. Negotiations are a part of the boxing business who the hell would accept an offer without trying to up it.

You think chest is unnecessary? :rofl: Barrera seemed to manage without. Don't recall ever seeing him with defined chest muscles. He seemed to do ok.

Criticize him all you want but a wise man once said "Never underestimate your opponent." Wilder shouldn't be underestimated. I'm a fan of AJ more than Wilder but I feel Wilder wouldn't just be a walk in the park for Joshua. Same here, and same here. The more I watch past Wilder fights the more frustrated I am that he or his team (or the WBA) haven't delivered higher profile fights. Then add a couple of cheating **** into the mix and I think we are yet to see his best. How good his best is I don't know but I wish they would give us Wilder vs AJ now.

I think it would a similar frustrating match as AJ had. If Takam had more power/accuracy in his punches he would have a belt.

At 20 with no AM career these fights are fine, as long as they don't fall in the trap of padding his career for too many years.

Seriously, does anyone actually think he can? No, really, like literally beat Wilder. Because if you do, you're either British, or a hardcore Joshua **** smoker. Deontay Wilder would beat the living ish out of Joshua, and it wouldn't even be close. Also, I remember after the Klitschko fight, everyone was saying he'd smoke Wilder, while I never thought that, ever. Joshua ain't a real fighter like that. Wilder was born to be a HW champ. The guy is seriously one of thse generational talents, and his potential is being fulfilled. Does having Wilders dick in your mouth not make it difficult to type? "one of thse generational talents" That is the funniest ****. Wilder could win if he catches AJ, AJ will win if he catches Wilder. Impossible to guage where Wilder is at until he fights someone with a pulse. Lets not forget he struggled with Molina who AJ humiliated.

i'm thinking he'll beat joshua if they fight...i don't think joshua is ready for him either. Lay off the drugs kid. So far Miller will give some good entertaining fights against Whyte/Breazeale/Molina etc

Jr. couldn't put Abrahams away relying on his fast hands to score points. I still say his lack of power leaves him short of been a genuine world class fighter and given the fights he has dodged he knows it. Groves can be beaten, but Jr is no Froch (or Badou). Saying that it would be one of Jr's few fights that is actually worth watching.

Lance Amrstrong is the most famous athlete who use the IV to pass all his drug test. And Floyd Mayweather Jr. do the same trick to pass the test. I hope there's a ped expert here that can explain why the IV was so effective in hiding PEDS. Are you so anti-drugs because your mom was a meth addict and **** out a pathetic retarded troll like you ?

Most heavyweights are Joshua's resume is trash too. 19 fights in, made Molina look absolutely terrible and has Klitschko as a scalp. If AJ has no other top contenders or unification fights once he reaches 38 pro fights he is still one step above Wilder now. Fact is for the sake of the HW division AJ, Wilder, Ortiz etc all have to fight each other. None of this bs dodging/political crap that often ruins boxing.

A bit early for the festive drinking ?

While he doesn't look that impressive, I give him props for fighting more difficult styles than either Joshua or Wilder. His opponent selection is much more diverse than either of those two. Plus he's 25 years old. No need to rush him just yet. He's progressing the way a 25 year old should. More diverse than AJ. The bloke that just beat Klitschko who Parker wouldn't stand a chance against? Fact is they have been hyping Parker up as a top heavyweight. Why wouldn't people call him for this. Cojanu does not take a top heavyweight the distance even less so with 2 WEEKS notice.

Going by the Ruiz, Takam and Fury fights its more likely that Parker loses in the meantime. He needs to change trainers or something because he has a look of a fighter who's stopped improving and it's pretty early in he's career for that. This to be honest. I like Parker and he is a decent boxer but his recent fights have stunk the place out. I was disappointed with AJ's previous fight as Takam deffinately did show some holes in AJ's game plan. Saying that AJ still won easy. I can see AJ vs Wilder been a very difficult fight to predict, but AJ vs Parker? AJ wins for me, just don't think Parker has anything that could trouble him.

People have been questioning Ortiz's age since his amateur career. Its a good fight (if it happens). I think Wilder takes it by keeping his distance (no doubting Ortiz's power) and using his speed to wear Ortiz down. If Wilder gets sloppy or starts Windmilling too early Ortiz is more than capable of providing an upset.

i TOLD all of YOU!!! The “Joshua Clan” is not fighting Wilder anytime soon!! They dont want the gravy train to end anytime soon. What? It’s Whyte who wants the fight for obvious reasons. AJ fans want Wilder. Ease off the drugs and stop spouting ****e.

I don't know how this fight is playing out to the UK boxing fans. Outside of the UK the interest is casual to non-existing. I wonder how this makes Joshua feel? He probably goes home and dries his tears with £50 notes. It hasn't had near the hype it deserves. Aside from his win against Klitschko this is easily his biggest fight. Povetkin is a genuine threat though his age is against him. Saying that, same as most people, I want to see Wilder vs AJ. The hype for that one would blow this out of the water and help promote boxing.
