Comments Thread For: Froch: Deontay Wilder Knocks Anthony Joshua Spark Out in One Round

[thack]

Carl has been there and done it , speaks his mind and may well be right .I'm hoping Joshua doesn't continue to disappoint and does a job on Wallin , who's good but doesn't do anything great.I see Wilder doing a job on my man Parker , so then hopefully this pair will finally find the balls to face each other and we'll find out whose been right and wrong!

Not sure why Joshua gets the hate he gets...he has the best resume in the division. Fury only has Wilder & Whyte, Wilder's best win is Ortiz. Usyk has proven himself the superior fighter but Joshua fought him twice...where was everyone else? Joshua also fought Ruiz twice, Whyte, Parker, Pulev, Povetkin and hung the first L on Breazeale. Maybe no better than 2nd best but he takes the fights the other fighters won't. Cats obsess talking about him though.

He got his azz beaten twice by a blown-up cruiserweight and got knocked to his knees repeatedly by Fat Andy, but some of you guys act like he's this undefeated wrecking ball.

If this is true, then why would anybody want to see it? Who wants to see such an uncompetitive one sided fight?

Froch has clear and obvious reasons to denigrate AJ and that is clear to see. Forget all that and just call it objectively.

I can't include Joshua among a top 10 since the 80s. I'd pick Oliver McCall, Ray Mercer, David Tua, Rid**** Bowe, and Ike Ibeabuci to knock him out. I'd pick Michael Spinks, Roy Jones, and James Toney to outpoint him. Even John Ruiz might beat him.

The others, cool.

But the bolded? Let’s not be ridiculous.

Bermane Stiverne He held the WBC heavyweight title from 2014 to 2015. This is the man Wilder won the title from. Wilder won their first fight by unanimous decision. The rematch proved to be disappointing as Stiverne was knocked unconscious in the first round.

One Champion?
Stiverne?
Lololololol
Klitschko Povetkin Pulev are much better fighters than Bermane Stiverne
Soo I guess Wilder resume is better than Anthony Joshua?
Huh

Yeah? I'll take the James Toney who knocked out Evander Holyfield over Joshua.

Yes but greats in past got koed fast unexpectedly, got caught cold and it's like a one off. But they come back and put good unbeaten runs together.
Josh not been knocked diwn since, let alone stopped

[PunchyPotorff]

Froch fails to remember the Ruiz 1, then Ruiz 2 fights. Joshua made it a completely
different fight by staying on the outside and jabbing start to finish. Not saying that
positively will work here, but wilder certainly doesn't have the smartest boxing brain
in the biz (from just relying on his punching power)... so it could happen, with
AJ getting either a UD or late TKO.

[TMLT87]

A round 1 KO either way seems pretty sensationalist and unlikely. If either of them KO'd the other like that it'd be the best win anyone has gotten in this HW era even now.
