How would Anthony Joshua do against Duhaupas?

[saintpat]

Joshua's next fight in December against a domestic opponent of no note is being built up as if it was May-Pac II.

If that's where he's at in his career, welll, bully for him. But until he wants to start fighting some contenders then we know what his own team thinks about him. He's not ready.

Joshua should fight malik scott, duhapas, Stiverne or molina if he wants to compare to wilder

There are several things to consider.... I think wilder packs more in a single punch, but Joshua throws tighter more concise combinations. One thing that worked for Wilder's benefit was his athletic style... he better utilizes his reach than joshua does. For instance looping shots around Duhapas guard. Leaping hooks and right hands before Duhapas can set his guard, and ect.

Joshua would have more trouble getting around the guard since he throws tighter... so his best hope for a stoppage would be to try to split Duhapas guard. Chain those great combinations from the body to the head. Duhapas was vulnerable to the body, every time Wilder bothered to throw downstairs Duhapas was visibly affected.

Knowing this, I'm confident Joshua could carve Johann up his own way. But Deontay got him first... and showed anyone moving forward some things they can do to stop Duhapas. Like push off uppercuts for example, or sliding to the right and firing the left hook when Duhapas looks to duck a barrage of shots.

Joshua needs to concentrate on his 3-month camp to get ready for Bob Dylan or whoever that guy he's fighting in the Brit Superfight Series.

That bum wouldn't last 2 rounds with AJ neither would wilder.

It would probably look about the same, it might be faster who knows but a different ref could have stopped that fight quite a bit earlier. So I could easily see that going down.

Joshua is different to Wilder in that he is much heavier and more aggressive. Which means even if he cant get the big one punch KO, he can often put his opponent in a psition that the ref will have to step in and stop it. Wilder on the other hand is much more patient.

Wilder has more one punch power (by the looks of it) but the way Josh fights probably means he would stop guys like Duhuapas and Molina quicker.

Well Joshua bullies the Cornishes and the Zambrano-Loves easy enough. Have yet to see him with that level of chin though. Or a guy that cracks back.

Joshua-Whyte is Ali-Frazier 2 man. Get it right

Duhaupas has a hell of a beard but I could see AJ unloading and overwhelming him on the ropes and stopping him that way, even with a non-UK ref. To me he looks like a better offensive fighter than Wilder, or at least better at taking out overmatched opponents earlier. I think he'd handle Molina easier/earlier as well.

Not say Joshua is clearly better though. Stiverne would have a better chance against Joshua's style, he's a natural counter puncher and would get more opportunities to pick his moments and time Joshua with powerful punches. Better chance of victory for Stiverne than when he was plodding towards Wilder for 12 rounds and landing zero decent punches.
