Comments Thread For: Joshua: Wilder Struggles at Top Level, A lot of Us Waiting To Kick His Ass!

[removed]

I remember seeing that look wilder had mid fight with fury, he looks like a deer in the headlights in that pic u rocking there, however much Malik Scott is trying to build up wilder's confidence again I believe it may be shot to pieces forever, the aura he had is gone and that was a huge factor in wilder's arsenal

Yeah, and this is the man that the LDBC low IQers claim that Fury is afraid of LOL.

Wilder is scared to death of the Gypsy King, he's too much of a ***** to even look Fury in the eye.

I'd feel ashamed of being a fan of a coward like Wilder.

Wilder is defo an elite HW, and I'm very confident that he would shatter AJ's jaw all over the ring if they ever fought.

Wilder isn't fat or old, and they're the usual types that AJ likes to fight.

U can't really complain to much about Joshua's opponents tbf though, he's fought his mando's and they all happened to be old, and the ones who weren't his mando's were replacement's for the actual opponents in Ruiz case. Joshua needs the belts for legitimacy so he will only fight what out infront of him and if they are 38 year olds then it can't be classed as his fault, he's gonna fight usyk now because that's his mando, and he's a dangerous opponent so I believe he wouldn't throw away a belt for an opponent deemed to dangerous for him

Yeah Joshua has a good resume, and it will look even better if he fights Usyk.

Notice how the Joshua-Usyk talk has suddenly gone quiet?

He's gonna fight fat boy Ruiz again, mark my words.

Yea I did notice there hasn't been much news on Joshua usyk recently, but if he doesn't fight usyk he will lose a huge amount of his fanbase imo so it's in his best interests to do it, no -one likes a ducker and u cant make a case for him being anything else if he throws away a belt and denies everyone a heavyweight unification down the road

The reality is that wilder has faced the best heavyweight in the world twice…drew once and lost the other. And is coming back to face him again. Joshua has not faced either of the other top heavyweights and lost to a short fat replacement. I get it, matchroom is supposed to hate wilder because he’s American and wouldn’t let young Edward control his every move….but Joshua may want to actually put some grey matter into his thought process about these claims

Once a fighter has lost there's always a blueprint to work from , occasionally when a fighter wins it's still there to be studied and work a slightly better one. Joshua's is pretty straight forward back him up after he's thrown his flurry , he can not defend or slip more than three punchers and then moves back in straight lines with very little defence and is a sitting duck . This simply tactic worked perfectly for Ruiz who only hits moderately hard , a massive puncher such as Wilder only needs to land once. This is why young Edward did a runner with him and since the Ruiz demolition unless Wilder ends up fighting with just one leg don't look for these people to be around for that.

The only time a fight with Wilder was ever on the cards was in a deal made by DAZN for 4 fights.

I dont think anyone truly believes this, I don't believe Joshua believes it either.

The only time they looked serious about even entertain the possibility of a Wilder fight was when Fury exposed Wilder for how human and flawed a fighter he actually is.

Still can't understand why Wilder avoided Joshua, for all those money offers on the table. I would never be able to get over those decisions, and to proudly come out and say he avoided Joshua to fight Fury for less money!!! That i would never get.

[Jab jab boom]

I’m fine with Joshua saying that Wilder isn’t elite, but curious to know what makes Joshua think he himself is elite? Was it going life and death with an inactive, old, and nearly retired Klitchko? Or perhaps it was his win over the same Whtye who got splattered by a washed up Povetkin? Or was it that boring and tentative revenge win over an even fatter Ruiz who previously pummeled him until he quit?

[Earl-Hickey]

The only things Wilder has is a right hand and actually I must admit he also has pretty good stamina too.

Outside of that...

Joshua is the superior fighter in every other aspect (and even power is fairly close) but the thing about Joshua is just his punch resistance is really shaky.

Honestly he needs to focus on Usyk because Joshua is an excellent BUT vulnerable fighter and he needs to be on point to avoid a banana skin, he's not good enough to overlook opponents.
