Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Would Take Deontay Wilder Out in Three!

[war52]

Keep it real.

Whyte reckons if he fought all Joshua's opponents he would have
them out in less than three rounds.
He reckons they all just cannon fodder.He is most over hyped fighter
in the world.
All these guys Joshua has fought have been there to pick up their
pay check.
At this rate he will be 50-0,50 Kos.
So bloody what! So he can beat 50 third tier guys.
Amateurs means nothing.Audley Harrison was Olympic champion.
He never made it as a professional.
Mike Tyson never will to the Olympics.
Amateurs is just a starting point.

Sets his post out in verse, Ffs.

On topic you have to go back to the Olympics for Joshua being tested. Even then you have to qualify it by saying he had only been boxing for 18 months. He will be better now.

How good is he? We know he can knock anyone out who stands in front of him. But we don't know if he can hold a big shot, fight going backwards, fight for 12 rounds.

The fact it is not really a preposterous idea to see Joshua in with Wilder says more about Wilder. It should sound like folly at this stage and Hearn is careful to say is a while off. But if this fight was a made. Joshua who is a novice pro would probably be a bookies favourite.

true, but i reckon joshua's potential hw throne will be seriously threatened once cuba opens the floodgates and erislandy savon turns pro. i have faith in joshua being able to take out any offensive minded fighter in the division, but as someone said above, a skilled boxer will give him fits. as long as he doesn't age too rapidly i think old wlad will have his number too (he is surprisingly fleet footed when he faces the bigger men). joshua is probably more cumbersome now than he was at the olympics due to all of the weight training. he is a prime specimen of an athlete but not a natural boxer imo

joshua would starch him. even wilders power is hugely overrated. there's nothing joshua doesnt do better than wilder

You make some good points. Joshua, like Wilder is an athlete first and a boxer second.

The real issue is the depth of the HW division.

I'd wager that even Fury could outbox Joshua at this point as would some of the bigger Eastern European HW fighters.

Teper would be an interesting test, he is strong and has good timing. If Joshua made easy work of him then I'd start to take notice.

by Hearns hype.
