Comments Thread For: Joshua: Wilder Proved You Don't Need To Go Rounds

[NEETzsche]

Whyte's level of competition has been even worse than Joshua's. AJ is scheduled to fight Kevin Johnson anyway so fighting Whyte would be a backward step.

at least whyte would come to knock him out. johnson is just going to hug and throw one punch per round. he's a heavybag.

"biblical" thinks he can go against a fighter like tyson fury with zero experience all the prayers to his god yahway will not deliver him

"Hotly-anticipated clash with Kevin Johnson," how is this possible??

[LacedUp]

Why doesn't Anthony Joshua fight the unbeaten Dillian Whyte who knocked him down and beat him before?

That fight will happen soon.

However, honestly. It was Joshua's 3rd fight as an amateur It literally means nothing at all.

He may not have a ton of live rounds, but Wilder took a very patient road to where he is now. He got on TV here and there, but a lot of his development was off the radar..behind the scenes and in gym because they didn't know what they had and he was fighting for money because of a sick family member. He is brash now, but his rise was modest. He really wasn't pushed until just recently. So, if I'm looking to Wilder to draw examples from then I'd be looking at his patient approach to his career and not the fact that he won a HW title only going a few rounds.

Joshua needs to step up.Dillian Whyte
Would be a good test.A fight with
Prince Charles Martin would be another big step.Them there is Joseph
Parker.

Parker is a better prospect than Joshua. Some Brit fans are getting stoked about Joshua because he won a Gold Medal (but then so did Fraudley) and is built like the Hulk, but mark my words he will go down as a HW version of Jeff Lacy. Britain has got some better prospects that will end up eclipsing this guy and comfortably so.

Hughie Fury's last win was light years ahead of anything this palooka has done.
