how has joshua overtaken wilder so quickly?

[Raggamuffin]

Wilder was interviewed hundreds of times and asked about fighting Klitschko. It's always a maybe answer as if Klit's will stay forever.

Stop lying to the masses.

One guy stays active, in a hot boxing market, and oh yeah, he stopped klitchko

It's true. He never expressed any interest in fighting Klitschko. Yet beating Vlad is exactly what made AJ big and get all this attention. Who Beontay now wants to take away from. That's like finally having the courage to step on the minefield after the mine sweepers risked their lives removing the mines.

wilder 31 years old, joshua 27 years old.

wilder 38-0, joshua 19-0.

Wilders best opponent- stiverne. Joshuas best opponent- klitschko.

Wilders next opponent- stiverne (again). Joshuas next opponent- Pulev.

How does that happen, 4 years younger and in half the fights Joshua has/will have fought two guys better than wilders fought.

Why is this? How come joshuas had no such problems making an impact on the heavyweight division?

I see everyone saying wilder is 'feared', but doesnt joshua have a 100 percent knockout ratio? If anything he looks a lot more physically intimidating than wilder. Weve also seen wilder struggle badly against scrubs in the past so surely people would think they have more of a shot against him? I dont understand that line of reasoning that people are somehow scared to fight wilder but not joshua.

So Is wilder just unlucky though? Or is there really no excuse for his dog**** resume considering hes 4 years older and had twice as many fights?

Who's Wilder?... that guy with sticky legs?... who "wins" fights by means of VADA rulings?...

there simply hasn't been any big named fights at HW, wilder called out Klitz but it didn't happen. not sure if you guys really understand this. the names that matter at HW are just now getting established. Wilder has tried to fight better comp not sure how anyone can fault him but ok. a defeated klitz coming off a year lay off is a decent win but nothing to brag about. Nobody at HW has a great resume.

Just better promoted with Eddie Hearn making the investment to build him up by overpaying guys like Charles Martin to go over and defend his belt against Joshua

Also he is a Gold Medal Winner! The Buzz started during his Olympic Run in his Back Yard
