Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder is Very Dangerous - But Joshua Boxes His Ears Off

[kafkod]

Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Lennox Lewis, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Wladimir Klitschko, Tyson Fury, and Joe Frazier are the only heavyweights to come along in the past 50 years who I would favor to beat Deontay Wilder.

Evander Holyfield, Vitali Klitschko, Anthony Joshua, Ken Norton, and Rid**** Bowe would each be knocked out - Easily.

Wilder ALWAYS hits the mark, even against Tyson Fury. Joshua by contrast loses to fringe contenders and Cruiserweights. Not in the same league, those two.
Wilder in Three. Fury demolishes Usyk, and look out for Fury vs. Wilder IV.

This is an astonishing opinion, considering Wilder has never beaten a single prime, elite level opponent in his whole career.

That is some outstanding support for an outstanding fighter Hugh, but from my perspective, I just hope that Joshua doesn't get hurt. Seriously. I didn't like the look he had after getting hit with Ruiz Jr's power. Now Ruiz is more polished than Wilder, perhaps, but Wilder isn't just a mammoth puncher...he's also gifted at planting them flush.

Wilder chin not as good as his punch. Wilder couldnt take his own punch. Josh probably hits harder than Luis ortiz. I think Josh can ko wilder, just like wilder could ko josh, if Josh not careful.
But I think Josh can outpoint wilder too, I dontbthink wilder can outpoint josh.

Wilder has never fought anybody who hits as hard as AJ and he has never KO'd anybody as good as AJ.

AJ by KO before round 6 is my pick if this fight happens.

Yeah AJ is definitely the better boxer of the two an he also hits hard aswell but again with the type of power wilder has you can't count him out against anybody

at this stage i would favour bum squad to ko him

Wilder has a puncher's chance, for sure. But he isn't as effective on the back foot and I think AJ has the tools and ability to put him on the back foot and keep him there for long enough to take him out. That's what AJ needs to do, go for a stoppage win. He can't risk giving Wilder 12 rounds to catch him with a big punch. Wilder will be dangerous for as long as it goes, so the longer it goes, the better Deontay's chances of winning will be.

Hopefully Wilder retires Joshua and we never have to see Joshua in the ring again

I don’t understand this cash out… if he gets linked to fight the top guys in the division then people like you say it’s a cash out, if he fights the Franklin’s then people like you say he’s fighting bums.

Who do you want him to fight then?

Because these guys should have fought years ago when they were both undefeated champions instead of messing around. At this point, it's a cash out fight since it's meaningless to anybody other than casuals

People still rate wilder after back to back ko losses?. Ordinarily you'd not get credit beating someone not far removed from being rendered unconscious like wilder was against fury, but try remember how much confidence you have in wilder still, after Josh whoops wilder!

True
One doesn't need to be the 2nd coming of Ali to out box Wilder
However
AJ's boxing skill isn't that good.
Does it need to be ?
Kinda.
Boxing alone will not keep Wilder off.
AJ is going to have to get respect and not by sticking and moving
The moment they exchange, AJ will be counting sheep.

Not such a big deal considering.
Lost to the same guy
The biggest guy in the div
Who used dirty tactics throughout.

Not many HW's will be able to do to Wilder what Fury did (lean down on him, rabbit punch, hold and hit.....)
I'll say it again
This HW era is so stank, a one trick pony like Wilder can dominate.
