Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas Firmly Backing Deontay Wilder To Knock Anthony Joshua Out

[davefromvancouv]

Wilder knocks out everybody in the division. Usyk is pretending he has a Dubois mandatory and is ignoring multiple offers to fight Wilder. Dubois is pretending he is available to fight in August even though he is still recovering from a torn ACL. When have you seen Dubois training for the Usyk fight in Poland?

Hopefully Joshua finally ignores the advice from his team and his fans, and finally steps in to face Wilder. Who knows? Maybe he makes it competitive in a great fight...

If you go by what they've achieved in ring, even in last 2 or 3 fights id have thought Josh was clear favourite. If josh fought fury 3 times im sure he'd have a win over fury and not be koed x2! I don't think wilder handles usyk better Josh did. Wilder would be shutout

AJ could fight Fury 100 times, and he'd lose miserably in 100 of them.

What people seem to overlook in this fight is? Wilder is getting hit from the start, and hit by a considerably more powerful puncher than Fury.

Lets all be honest, Tyson Fury at no point in his career has been seen as a monster puncher 'His punching power is actually one of his worst attributes'.

Still Fury was able to legitimately knock-out Wilder in their 3rd fight.

I think Fury showed in his last fight vs Chisora III 'The level of his power'.

Chisora was semi-retired, and his trademark durability is nowhere near the level it used to be. Fury still could not decked or even force a legitimate stoppage.

If Chisora was left to fight on vs Fury, he would of survived the full 12 rounds.

Joshua's speed and athleticism is miles better than people make out, and he has proven time and time again? That from mid-long range, he is a extremely capable boxer.

So therefore for as long as this fight plays out 'Joshua is most like going to be out boxing Wilder, and landing punches'.

The pivotal moment in the fight will be when Wilder lands his punches 'How Joshua comes through that power, and composers himself'.

That will be the challenge for Joshua, and a challenge he must overcome. If Joshua gets overly shook, and does not fight through the power 'Then the fight will move more towards Wilder'.

But like I said, people must understand 'I expect Joshua to be landing on Wilder and out boxing him'. And if Fury's power is shaking Wilder 'Then Joshua's power is going to shake Wilder'.

Joshua in terms of brute strength is also comparable if not greater than Fury 'And we all know this was the area of Fury's game which bothered Wilder. To the point were Wilder attempted to pump himself up into a Super Heavyweight for their 3rd fight'.

Joshua in his last fight, displayed certain skills he has never really shown before i.e Joshua was wrestling Franklin on the inside and totally disrupting his work 'One of Wilder's worst attributes along with his overall technical ability is his brute strength'.

Note; It is still a close fight to call, but Joshua has the ability to takes rounds off Wilder, potentially hurt Wilder, and Joshua is in the top 2-3 best ever technical boxers Wilder has ever faced etc.

Joshua is an over thinker. He cannot be taught to be a master boxer like he thinks he can become.

He just needs to let those hands fly and that's when his form and confidence is at its highest.

Dillian Whyte is a demon he needs to exorcise to get his confidence back.

Ruiz jr took Joshua's soul, he'll never let his hands go again, especially against Wilder who will hurt Joshua much worse than tubby Ruiz jr. I don't think any sports psych can undo the damage to Joshua's confidence from the Ruiz jr beating.

Streuth! Atlas mate what are you trying to do here? Are you trying to get every matchroom incel on the net stalking your social media???

[crisantonio917]

Atlas the ultimate imbecile speaks...

As opposed to Aj v 41 Yr old Klit? 38 yr old Pov? 38 yr old Tak? 40 yr old Pulev? Tell me when you see a pattern.
It's no coincidence until the can top what 30? Franklin, the last 2 he boxed of his own generation both beat him

Who's Aj ever beaten that wasn't a shot old man, I'll tell you who, Parker & Martin lol. Whyte was ranked 27 when they boxed

I knew you was going to mention wlad. But wlad was a great champion as was povetkin.
Ortiz is nothing. How much credit do you want to give wilder, just cos old Ortiz held his own against Ruiz? I know you will mention that also!

[kafkod]

I see a 3rd brutal KO defeat for Wilder on the horizon.
