Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Tabs Wladimir Klitschko as Toughest Opponent To Date

[NachoMan]

AJ talking utter nonsense right here. Who’s he trying to convince us or himself?

Tbh, I would’ve expected AJ to say that he himself was his own toughest opponent, something corny like that. Truth is Ruiz beat that ass from pillar to post.

Goofy looking more goofy by the day.

Joshua is not as spooked by Uysk, like people are always trying to make out.

Yes beating Usyk is a momentous Challenge. Simply because nobody has ever achieved such a feat.

But Joshua for me, is not as daunted by this rematch 'Like he was with Ruiz Junior'.

I think Joshua has more positives to take from his fight with Usyk, than he did from his first fight with Ruiz Junior etc.

Physically his toughest fight to date, was against Wladimir Kiltschko. That fight was the greatest heavyweight title fight of the past 20 years.

Dude. Seriously?

It doesn’t really work like that at all . A.J only had 18 fights going into that one and was dropped hard and had to pick himself back up at his heaviest weight ever as well which then worked against him . Usyk didn’t actually do much to A.J in comparison,the A.J that fought Klitschko most likely would get to Usyk easier . Wlad would be a tough win for anyone with under 20 fights .

I always said A.J won’t have a tougher fight then the 2017 Klitschko one I believe that’ll be shown to be true when his career is over . If Usyk can actually push A.J to a stoppage and defeat him that’s another story but hasn’t happened thus far then you can say that’s his toughest fight .

Man, that's pitiful logic.

Yes because we all know how horrible an Alexander Usyk is . You could be candidate for dumbest poster yet keep it up you’ll be a definite front runner if we do a poll this year .

Dumb jokes? That was weak even by your standards.
It's like you're folding just like AJ has a history of doing.

[dirty fingers]

What's with boxers always saying their toughest fights are against opponents they've defeated? I'm guessing it's an ego thing.

Yeah. Also that **** where they say the guy who knocked them out wasn't the hardest puncher they've faced, like Pascal said of Kovalev I believe. There have been others.

So you are a candidate of dumbest poster that’s what you’re telling the forum ? Here’s your logic ,anyone that’s loses to Usyk sucks ,yet Usyk defeats 95% if not more current boxers if not all of them because he hasn’t lost yet so that’s still argumentative .

Not very smart are you ?

[REDEEMER]

Man, that's pitiful logic.

It’s not a logic it’s what actually happened . If it isn’t show me where anything I said didn’t happen ?

Again your another one acting as though you actually fought A.J s opponents to boot as if you know from nothing what or who his toughest fight was ? He literally had to break out everything to get the Klitschko win in new experiences he never had prior ,you guys really need to understand how boxing works . Hardest fights doesn’t mean just guys you lost to obviously A.J put in a far harder effort against Wlad because if he lost that fight he’d always be the guy who was a what if ,he actually needed to win that one to set him up and start him off .

Andy Ruiz was his toughest opponent. He ruined AJ mentally, the guy hasn't been the same since.

He doesn't even know what style to use anymore.

Former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua recently reflected on his career and tabbed a Ukrainian boxer as being his toughest opponent to date. But it wasn't Oleksandr Usyk.

Regardless of what anyone says, including Joshua. Wladimir Klitschko at 41 years of age cannot be compared to any version of Klitschko , say from 3 years before.. I recall when he began his career. He was an absolute killer, and when he progressed to better opposition he treated them just the same. His right hand was devastating.. And he'd developed a left hook almost as good. He had a wide variety of punches but used only those which worked the best.

Only after he was TKO'd by Corrie Sander's head and fist combined, and Brewster' strange incident (they should have stopped that Brewster fight at least 2 rounds earlier and given Klitschko a TKO win) . Steward changed his whole style, to a Lennox Lewis one, and whilst less exciting was more long lasting.
But he always had that killer right hand. As we saw with Joshua, who showed great fortitude to get up to take more.

Even with ten training camps it's against all odds that Klitschko would be better than 2 years before, at age 40..Just nonsense. So ..he was 5 lbs lighter...That doesn't mean 5 times better, just lighter. Maybe he changed his diet a little, Maybe his older bones lost a bit of calcium, which is a natural progression of age.
