Comments Thread For: Otto Wallin Explains Why He Should Be Frontrunner For Anthony Joshua

[Boro]

In your mind. Best person he has beaten is Breazeale and that was on points. Breazeale is rated maybe 18 at best



AJ already beat Wallin twice in the amateurs. Wallin needed to beat someone in the top-10 if he wants an AJ fight. Whyte's record is 10 x that of Otto Wallin

AJ beating Wallin in the amateurs is wholly irrelevant neither guy is the same fighter they were a a couple of years ago let alone over a decade ago particularly AJ.

And Why is that Whyte's record is 10X Wallin's? a covid ridden Povetkin and Parker because of a headbutt and holding the ropes for forever and a day... beyond that his resume is barren...

Otto would actually be a very good opponent for Joshua`s comeback fight.

There is too much money invested in Joshua for him to get beat now. He will be fighting cans for at least another year.

I agree with your Post that AJ can't take a risk of getting beaten again soo soon
But
I disagree AJ will be fighting cans for another year
We'll see ...

Ohhhh , wow. He beat him in the amateurs. That’s extremely relevant.

Whyte is fighting Jermaine Franklin first! Let's see how he looks! Fury is not fighting Joyce or Hrgovic, because he's just staying busy until he fights Usyk! Hrgovic is IBF #1, and Joyce is WBO #1, so I doubt either one wants to sit and wait for Usyk. Joshua still brings good money for either one, so AJ should pick one and make it happen!

It is about 80% irrelevant how he looks vs Jermaine Franklin.

Jermaine Franklin is not a World level fighter.

Joshua is the more in form fighter by far. Even though his last fight was a loss, skill for skill 'It was one of his best performances in his entire career'.

Skill for skill Joshua when you really analyse the fight, made very few mistakes 'He did best with what ability he has'.

I think Joshua beats Whyte more impressively than Tyson Fury. Fury up until the knock out, was winning the fight but? He was hardly putting a beating on Whyte etc.

Yes, I am not particular impressed with any of these developments.

If Joshua is to fight back at this level, and his aim is to get back to elite level?

He can at-least fight more frequently, with a quicker turn around between the fights.

Because I expect Joshua to beat these fighters with considerable ease, if he is at the level I believe he can operate at etc.

None of these fights for a contender are super bad, it is just that I was expecting Joshua to jump straight back in at High Class World level.

Playing the long game, and refining his training with Garcia. Maybe it is better for him to fight at this level for awhile. Joshua for the first time in his career, is under no obligation to take on super big fights etc.

Twice in the amateurs. More relevant is the fact that Wallin hasn't fought anyone. Like I said the best guy he beat is ranked 18th at best.

when discussing a pro fight, nobody uses any amateur wins to defend not fighting an opponent. What’s more relevant is that Wallin gave fury hell while Whyte barely put up any resistance, got slept and then made lame excuses. Wallin is a threat to Aj who could possibly lose based on his weak will and tendency to give up trying to win when faced with adversity.

Everybody wants AJ. He's the Danny Garcia of this division.
