Comments Thread For: Otto Wallin: "I Hurt Tyson Fury, I Can Hurt Anthony Joshua"

[PRINCEKOOL]

let Josh take a real challenge or shut up about himself --- now they are trying to sell this fight as well UH /gee maybe something unusual might happen HW used to mean something to everyone now we get this garbage and told it is important.....

You must rate Joshua really highly if fighting Wallin is not a challenge.

Why are people still acting as if Joshua is a World Champion, Joshua is a contender.

Is Hrgovic a challenge for Joshua is if wins vs Wallin?

You must understand that Joshua's main goal is to fight for a World title again, so this fight makes 100% sense.

What do you want from Joshua? He has objectively fought the most top level fighters consistently out of all top level Heavyweight.

Note: 57Blues, so how highly do you rate Joshua sounds like you rate him as a top-3 Heavyweight? The reason why I ask this question because people act as if Johsua is done, or was never a elite level Heavyweight within this era 'That is what they say, but your behavior tells me what you really believe about Joshua'.

How do I rate Joshua? Well he has been one of the better Heavyweight Champions of this era, but now he is a contender 'And needs to fight his way back into title contention, this fight vs Wallin is 100% a real Heavyweight fight and challenge for Joshua'.

If people don't think this fight is a challenge for Joshua, you must rate him extremely highly etc.

The risk vs reward of these kinds of fights is not great for Joshua tbh. Wallin is big enough and decent enough to make Joshua look underwhelming again, but a win over him doesnt mean much.

How many times do we need to tell you that beating Wallin means a lot for Joshua? He likely gets a fight with Hrgovic for vacant IBF belt next year.

Otto Wallin is adept at turning fights into an ugly slog. If he can get inside then he has the power to shake AJ up. Can see AJ complaining to the referee a lot. And he'll be getting hit to the head and body. If the fight goes long, AJ is gonna need to have plenty in the tank.

The problem with Wallin is that he has never faced a high-level concussive puncher like AJ before. His chances of survival, whilst marching into range trying to get close to AJ, remain speculative. If he is hesitant in range, I can see him getting bumbaclot'd.

Wallin is given far too much credit for giving a weight-drained Tyson Fury a competitive run for his money. Fury had a terrible training camp and spent an intense month in Spain losing weight and trying to get his body fat percentage down, with Zumba instructor Ben Davison. After the fight, Fury's family intervened and told Davison to sling his hook. Fury spoke at length about how weak and drained he felt during the fight, In his book, he doesn't talk kindly of that training camp.

People hype Wallin because he cut a weight-drained Fury's eye, in a fight he went on to clearly lose.

Actually win over Wallin gives him the IBF #2 spot & will put him in position to fight Hrgovic when the IBF title becomes vacant after undisputed is settled.

Lol nobody gives a shyt about him fighting Hrgovic for a ****ing IBF title. Why are you shilling for his substandard boring ass opponents?

[PBR Streetgang]

Yeah, he "lost". It was a very close fight, you didn`t watch it, obviously. Whyte was in survival mode in the last rounds.

If I recall correctly, and it's been a while since I saw it, the knockdown Whyte inflicted on Parker was the result of a rather vicious headbutt. I believe Parker nearly had Whyte out at the end.

[PBR Streetgang]

Breazeale was durable but he was there to be hit. Wallin going the distance with him does not really suggest too much of a danger for Joshua. You never know for sure at HW, but I suspect Wallin's approach will suit Joshua a great deal.

I'm not saying Wallin is going to beat AJ but I don't think it's a bad matchup at all. In fact, I think it's a fight where AJ will have some obstacles to overcome. I think Otto presents more challenge than Franklin and is more durable than Helenius. He doesn't bring an overwhelming offensive arsenal but he's a big, durable southpaw with skills that is coming to win.

Sure, give me odds. 1:3

The week of the Fight I'll see find how serious you are
Then we will finalize payment details
Last guy on here didn't pay up.....

Gassiev at HW is pretty much like James Toney in MMA.

That's the ******est **** I've seen on here today.

Didn't Parker lose to whyte?

Yes, but if you remove the point scored off the illegal headbutt that the ref scored as a KD, the fight is a draw, not to mention the ref saving Whyte from being KO'd in the 12th. There should have been an immediate rematch.

How on earth was a heavyweight who weighted 255lbs with over 20% body fat be fking WEIGHT DRAINED. You guys will excuse everything.
