Who is the best young heavyweight contender?

[Guest]

A bit early to tell isn't it? Joshua just looks real good and has done everything asked of him in impressive fashion.

What do you think of the Young brit?

I think Kevin Johnson threw the fight only he ****ed up. It was supposed to go two but the dummy didn't even hit Joshua thinking he could just fall in round 2 like they had planned only he got buzzed too hard in round 1.

The ref had to get Johnson up to satisfy the bookies and make it to round 2.
Notice how they made a big deal about Johnson not being stopped (because they planned the dive to stop him ) to say wow Joshua is so great. Did what n one else could do.


I like his aggressive style. I would like to see how he handles shots a little more.
His fights are usually so fast I can't tell how he'd react under adversity.

I do think in an early bomb fest he has a chance to ko chicken legs.

Isn't Wilder like 30 years old?

Out of those I like all of them, but I wouldn't consider Wilder and Tyson "young contenders".

I would say Hughie Fury is the most naturally gifted of them all, but Joshua would win against Parker and H. Fury right now.

Damn near! i think he turns 29 this year. And thats way too old for a contender, even moreso cause he has a belt!

Dillian Whyte is a promising young Heavyweight from London. He's powerful , knockout power in both hands and he's unbeaten.
He holds a victory over Joshua in the amateurs, he floored him and beat him convincingly.
Whytes sparred with Klitschko and is supposed to have performed well.

They may be fighting on September 12th for the British Title which Fury had vacated. Whyte is convinced he's gonna knock Joshua out and is desperate for the fight , so it will be nice to see how Joshua deals with someone with power who's coming to win....

I think Joshua is much improved since they fought last , but Whyte is a real danger man. And don't be surprised if he derails the Joshua hype train !!

I understand the hype for Joshua but if Whyte is such a threat how come we barely hear about him?

I barely recognize most of the guys he fought so far.

What's crazy is that anyone on that poll could be world champion after Wlads reign is over.

Btw, Tyson Fury has no power according to some people, I just lol at that nonsense. I'd like to see Joshua get clipped on his chin to see how he responds under adversity. Enough of these bums for Joshua, Fury & Wilder. Fight each other.

Johnson retired the next day. He was a garbage opponent. Pure bum at this point. For all the smack Wilder gets, Joshua's opponents have probably been worse. Four guys have retired immediately following their fights.

I think Wilder will dispatch Povetkin with relative ease. Povetkin had nothing for Wlad's length and Wilder is just as long and probably faster and more powerful.

I think Wlad will lose in his next three fights. He looked pretty old in that Jennings fight. He's slowing down bigtime.

Then the division really comes down to Wilder, Fury, and Joshua for the next 6-7 years. Should be fun. I think Wilder is the best out of all of them. Speed, length, power, mobility. Total package

Wilder isn't comparable to Wlad. I don't see Wilder having the physical strength to neutralize Povetkin. The man has chicken legs. His hope is the jab and the right hand and it won't be easy. At all.

You are right Wlad is getting old but he hasn't been close to losing just yet.
Maybe within 3 fights but doubt the next one.

Yea he doesn't have a promoter which is a concern. He wants to be able to fight on any cards is the reason for that apparantely.
It's true that he hasn't faced any one of note , but to be fair he's no different to a lot of Heavyweights. Wilders resume isn't the greatest.

I've seen the fight he had with Joshua in the amateurs. He really put it on him, bullied him... It was impressive.
Although I think Joshua is a totally different animal now

His "chicken legs" don't matter. He's the hardest hitting heavyweight in the world. It's not even close..

Their amateur fight was Joshua's third and Whyte's debut, they are very very different fighters now.
