Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins Gives Joshua The Edge To Beat Deontay Wilder

[Kigali]

nothing about Joshua tells me hes miles ahead of wilder, wilder has more in his arsenal and he doesn't gas, the fact people bring up that he was wobbled by heavyweights is ****** any heavyweight can wobble another. if Joshua gases vs wilder hes getting his stiff azz KOd. Joshua is a good fighter with heart but hes already stated a while back he needed 2 years before hed be ready for wilder, in an interview recently he said, the fight will happen when it happens and told fans to be patient, so anyone saying wilder is ducking him is just making sht up. Wilder tried to fight the top in the division and they didn't want it. They both have flaws, stop acting like Joshua is this perfect fighter, he gets his ass hit as well.

Shhhhhh

Let them sleep.

AJ needs to get tested first that mf on something. This fight could be a toss up but we'll see. Joshua has a better punch selection than Wilder also he's good but not great when it comes to the tactical side. He does get hit more than i'd like to admit. Don't forget he looks amatuerish at times. Lol he better find a better way to move his head or its lights out.

Wilder on the other hand has good headmovemt but doesn't use his whole arsenal when need be..only varies his punches in spurts showing promise then goes back to jab 1,2 then goes insane when he stuns his opponent. Wilder by UD.

Unlike Klitschko if Wilder hurts Joshua then the Windmill Storm of Doom is coming and there's no way AJ gets out of that!

The punches are nonstop, too fast and coming at nearly all angles!

Joshua is very aggressive so Wilder can set him up with the 1-2 and make him do the boogie!

Or the 2 then left hook and move laterally and then as soon as Joshua squares up then double jab and land that nuclear right hand on that block head!

People are underestimating Wilder's speed, stamina, angles and his improvements with his left hook!

Wilders wild swings leave him very open to counters. It's going to be such an easy night for aj I can't wait for that fight.

This is how delusional boxers are here in the U.S . Who are these top champions over here ? lol

Wilder is the only one in a top 5 spot !

Put aside bias with these interviews and practically all known boxers would have Joshua winning by a HUGE margin . Wilder would have to defeat Ortiz to even think this fight is competitive and thats not even official yet .

^^^ This ^^^
Too many aspects of the fight have Joshua blitzing Wilder. Everything from Wilder's bad case of the nerves to his total blank mind in regard to boxing basics early on in the fight. I would imagine Wilder just needs to hire a sports psychologist to clear his mind before fights, but there's definitely a disconnect somewhere upstairs with the guy. No doubt this would be bombs away for both fighters, but Wilder would be the one stretched out on the canvas in the early rounds, and the arena in England would be exploding with the Brit fans over the moon.

But then, Wilder has Ortiz problems. So we'll likely never see a Joshua/Wilder fight... but that doesn't mean a Joshua/Ortiz fight wouldn't be amazing as well.

This right here

How does a pro fighter that's nearly 40 fights in his career have such sloppy form? Either Breland and Jay Deas aren't as good as some have thought, or Wilder doesn't listen to them.

Either way, AJ would beat Wilder if they ever meet

If Ortez does not suddenly show his age in the ring Wilder will not get by him. AJ is a lot more accomplished and has now been in some big fights, I don't see how one can compare the two.

u need to re watch wilder, he only swings wild when his opponents are hurt, before then hes throwing good punches and uses his jab and range pretty well, of course he has flaws but im not sure if u guys really watch wilder saying hes just windmill the whole fight. that lead right hook, jab, and right hand are a thing of beauty

[Raggamuffin]

He's exactly right. To become the face of boxing the "stiff one" will have to fight Wilder here in America but he won't.

[Raggamuffin]

And never listen to a Joshua fan when they talk boxing. They don't know jack. Not all of them but many of them. You can tell right away who's objective and who gobbles Joshua's ****.

his biggest fight was a retired kiltz, good win other than that hes fought decent or average HW comp just like wilder. what are these bigger fights hes been in?
