Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua reveals the areas in which he had to improve

[kafkod]

Joshua didn't just duck Wilder. He ducked Ortiz, Zhang, Joyce, Hrgovic and a Parker rematch.

Full credit to AJ in one area he doesn't have to improve and a real proven strength : his ducking game!

AJ ducked Wilder, the same Wilder who publicly old Tyson Fury, "You know I was offered more money to fight Joshua than I got for fighting you"

AJ ducked Ortiz, by offering him $7million to stand in for Miller when Miller got popped for PEDs. That's $2miilion more than Andy Ruiz got when he stepped up to the plate after Ortiz turned down the fight.

AJ ducked Parker, by fighting and beating him.

As for Zhang, Joyce and Hrgovic - they have never been in the conversation for a fight with AJ. They've never been in the conversation for a fight with Fury either, is he ducking them too?

Get a grip. So AJ beat your idol, Oilyskin, or whatever the fuck you call him, and took his belt off him. Get over it. Fighters fight each other. Somebody wins and somebody loses. Let it go.

I know right!!!

Hard to believe that AJ ducked so many guys and is still in with a shot at another trash belt.

Well played Princess!!!

Whenever Joshua met real boxers he was almost steamrolled. Remember Povetkin buckling his knees? Or an ageing Klitscko, 14 years his senior, knocking him down? I don't want to stir the shyte, but Ruiz and Usyk have exposed the hype, if not the fraud. Why is Joshua avoiding Wilder still? That match up would be his way to redemption.

Aj is most proven Heavyweight in the division. Doesn't mean he is the best but it means he fights the most ranked fighters. We know he is def in the top 3. Joshua became the 1st ever fighter to stop Povetkin and he beat him pretty easy despite that early scare. Maybe you can compare with Fury and Wilder's wins over Povetkin? Oh wait - they avoided him just like all the good fighters from their generation.

Joshua was due to fight Wilder before Wilder lost to Parker. After that Joshua was promised a Fury fight if he fought Ngannou. Joshua fighting Wilder now would be lose/lose. Wilder needs to beat a couple of decent guys first. If he can't do this - what would be the point of a Wilder/Joshua fight???

Also don't forget Wilder himself said (it's on Youtube) he was offered more by Joshua's team to fight him but he chose Fury - a guy who had been retired and had no titles at the time while Joshua himself had 3 world titles then.... I bet Wilder is kicking himself now for that decision. He chose what he thought was a big name but low risk opponent instead of stepping up.

This is funny. Wilder is irrelevant now. Wilder is the guy that must beat somebody top 15 at least to become relevant.
