Comments Thread For: Haye: If Joshua Can't Blast Out Franklin in Three or Four - He's Doing Something Wrong!

[Casualfanboy]

Not surprised at all if he doesn’t get past Franklin. He’s very hungry and has some ability. Probably learned a lot fighting Whyte. If AJ still truly has heart and desire left, he will probably win. No one alive is not questioning that though….

Franklin is an ATG HW. David Haye took two beatings from Bellew. Stay in your lane. Nash out

Yeah, frail chin. Never been knocked out, but never mind that.

The man was stopped by Ruiz
And he does have a frail chin with above average recovery abilities.
I'm an AJ fan by the way....

Yes, the fight was stopped. Was he knocked out?

Also, I don't see the evidence for the recovery abilities. The Ruiz stoppage basically came down to a failure to properly recover from the early knockdowns.

The shot that Kltichko put him down with would have dropped most heavyweights -- and it came after Joshua took a bunch of heavy shots in the previous round and stayed on his feet.

Officially, he lost by TKO.
And it's heavyweight so it truly only takes one punch.
And he does have a frail chin regardless of the 1 stoppage loss.
He was out on his feet vs a much smaller Usyk

Yes, officially he lost by a technical knockout. The ref stopped it when Joshua was on his feet and wanted to continue. Glass jaw!

Re: having a frail chin regardless of the actual evidence, this sounds a lot like a "because I say so" argument, to which I give no credence.

He was gassed against Usyk with seconds not minutes remaining. And stayed on his feet. Exhaustion is a frail chin? Give over.

Hey buddy, time to move on.
I appreciate your fixation in this but you are in the minority.

Anthony Joshua has never been knocked out by any opponent in the professional ranks.

Ruiz Junior forced a stoppage. Joshua was smiling at the time of the stoppage, that is not a knock out.

Joshua has also been knocked down a lower number of times, than Tyson Fury.

Approximately Joshua has been decked 3-4 times. Fury has been decked almost 6-8 times.

Even if you take the Wilder fights off Fury's record, he has been decked by fighters who were not even World level.

Joshua's durability is solid enough, to a point. The Kiltschko right hand that landed on Joshua, was for me a more powerful punch than Wilder's punch 'That decked Fury in the 12th round of their first fight'.

Fury only had to survive until the end of the round, against a fatigued Wilder. Joshua had to get back up, and withstand heavy bombardment from Kiltschko 'And they were only in round 6 I believe'.

Joshua in that fight, I think displayed greater single feats of combined endurance and durability than Fury has ever displayed inside the ring 'On that night and in that fight vs Kiltschko'.

Kiltschko is a precised, technically elite power puncher.

Note: From fight to fight, Tyson Fury does display better durability than Anthony Joshua. But when you analyse their records, and compare each fighters greatest feat of endurance and durability 'Joshua has achieved the single greatest feat'.

But of course from fight to fight, consistently Fury has been displaying better durability.

Will the Wilder vs Joshua still big if AJ loses his fight with Franklin?

Is Anthony Joshua the Canelo heavyweight of boxing? Fights won't sell without him?
