    Here... put your mouth on this
    Brewster was underrated. I truly enjoyed his fights n he displayed grit most heavies dont have in the recent eras.

    To be fair, Manny steward wlad, was prime Wlad

    He was getting MFers outta there and maintained get defense n controlled distance and Pace.

    IMO anything after steward or before it was not prime wlad

    Look at the tear he went on.

      To be fair just having Manny Steward does not make a fighter prime...

      He was getting bums outta there.

      Prime Vlad got whipped by Purrity....Brewster...and Sanders

      Stop spinning it....

        Nope. I am a boxing fan first. Couldn't care less where a fighter is from. Half my favorite fighters are or have been from overseas or across the border.

          Deontay Wilder has been a pro four years longer than Anthony Joshua, and has far more fights. He's four years older than Joshua. Yet Wilder doesn't have a win as good as Klitschko on his resume.

          Even former light heavyweight Tony Bellew has a better win at heavyweight than Wilder, namely David Haye.

            Stop trolling insecure fool

            Vlad was coming off a loss and a long layoff....and has been stopped before....in his prime

            AJ didn't do anything that Lamon Brewster and Ross Purrity didn't do.

              Absolutely NOT! Well I can only speak for myself but I watched AJ entire Olympic Gold Medal Run (even though I though I still think he lost Erislandy Savon in the 1st Round lol), haven't missed a pro fight of his yet. So no I'm a Joshua fan a bigger one that Wilder honestly. Yeah I'm pro American but I'm Fair and Realistic. I think AJ is the better fighter, the better boxer PERIOD it would be hypocritical for me to talk all this "SKILLS PAY THE BILLS" during Mayweather ERA to now back a very WILD Brawler who have no Boxing Technique what so ever.

              I feel like AJ career been managed BETTER and he moved up at the correct pace as far as step ups and pushing his career forward. Eddie Hearn putting big money up to get Charles Martin to come over and defend his title it is the PERFECT Blue Print to build up a new Superstar so NO NOT ALL Americans are "Hurt" or "Jealous" for the most part it has be mostly Positive for Joshua here from the Fans and American Boxing Media which seems RARE in this ERA of boxing where negativity RULES

                  Thankfully, I'm not like you.
                  I root for my countrymen. Thats why I'll be rooting hard for Deontay Wilder against AJ, TF, VK, whoever.

                    Not me. Just like in Olympics, I root for my flag. I always will support an American Boxer over a non-American. Like Keith Thurman Said, its all about bringing belts to the red, white, and blue.

                      Of course, AJ would be favored. That Said, I give DW about a 25-30% chance of Winning. A 1 in 4 chance, is nothing to sneeze at. He catches AJ's chin flush, anything is possible.
