Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder Has Never Beaten an Elite Heavyweight, Joshua is Leagues Above Him!

[daggum]

Joshua was happy that Wilder lost, he doesn’t have to face him now, he dodged a right hand. So if Wilder is finished, why don’t Joshua fight him and send him packing. Ring rust, long layoff, run it in 3 months I guarantee you a different outcome.

its fun making things up isnt it?

Joshua is just 4 years younger. Ask hearns in 4 years when Joshua is 38 how things are going. Ask him again when he is 42 years old like the Wlad he beat that was his best win.


I could also go say Wilder knocked out Helenius way faster than Joshua. So what.

Who did Fury beat that makes him "elite"?

I already explained my opinion on fury in an earlier comment on this thread. Scroll back if you’re interested.

Context. JP didn’t “derail “ anything. A. Ruiz did. Of what would’ve been for undisputed. It’s still a good fight but the fight needs to be fought is usyk and fury.

Joshua hasn’t beat an elite heavyweight either. Klitschko was old and retiring and wasn’t elite. Joshua is better than wilder but not elite.

Joshua also beat Parker, an elite fighter who just beat Wilder.

Joshua has clearly always been the superior fighter even if Joshua himself didn’t realise it until now. Wilder is simply a lazy fighter who gives away rounds

Lmao wilder hadn’t fought in 2 years smh. It was a typical wilder fight minus the one punch come from behind win. Both fights with Ortiz he was losing all 3 fights with fury he was behind the whole time wilder has never been a great technician that piles up rounds he’s a one trick pony. I think the inactivity hurt him but let’s not act like this is so far from the norm it was a typical wilder fight from what I could see

Wrong.

Wilder was ahead on all three cards at the time of the KO in the first Ortiz fight.

Hearn is wrong, Wilder went life and death b4 beating the 45yo cuban twice.

I always thought that for years Ortiz could have been the best HW on the planet that got avoided until he was too old. But at any point I think he beats AJ at that same point in time.

[Lance98]

When they were undefeated, eddie could have made the fight happen, but choose to play games instead and both fighters have multiple losses now. AJ is not much better than wilder. i still think that a much younger and ferocious wilder would have nailed him with a right hand within 6 rounds.

Wrong. Wilder is undersized heavyweight. His "power" comes from his speed and explosiveness. Now that speed of his punch is gone and he is done.

many heavyweights had styles and physical attributes that aged way better. I also believe Joshua will age better.
