how has joshua overtaken wilder so quickly?

[1hourRun]

A.J needs to thank grandpa Klitschko and his god-father Tyson Fury, for dropping the IBF and Eddie Hearn for buying him that world title from Charles Martin that got the ball rolling -- good Job on Eddie Hearn from keeping him away from Deontay since 2015 when Joshua was about to become Mando for Deontay's WBC title.

But the 'Bronze-Bomber' cant even get a clean top five fighter in the ring because of the doping epidemic in the HW division.

Hearn was quick to act and took advantage of Klitschko's availability. I have no doubt Klitschko would have taken the Wilder fight if Deontay showed interest in it.

Vlad never showed interest in Wilder.

Klitschko was there to be cherrypicked. He trained hard for the Fury 2 fight only to be canceled. Vlad would fight Kingkong at that point just to keep busy.

He was never in Wilder's radar screen. Nobody knows why.

You mean Wilder was never on Vlad's radar.

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

Put it all on Wilder.

because of Wilders roided opponents, Joshua is a brit a country where boxing matters and Joshua is more marketable

AJ has the best promoter in the business, Eddie Hearn.

Wilder has the worst, Al Haymon (I know he's an advisor, but we all know he's the one pulling strings).

That plus the fact that AJ actually has good boxing skills.

Is it Haymon or Wilder's fault that Povetkin and Ortiz failed drug tests?

It comes down to Wilder himself and his limitations as a skilled fighter and with what his team feared of a suspect chin getting knocked down in some fights so they brought him along slowly and far less attention to him. Hes definitely a better fighter now but he has not been the world beater he or his team are promoting ,and how could they ?

Had Wilder even fought Klitchko in 2015 or went out of his way to make the fight ( dont tell me he did bc Shelly Finkle his promoter said he wasnt ready after he defeated Stiverne ) and took a loss he would have got more respect than just avoiding fights that are relevant and Povetkin or Ortiz doesnt change 38 fight resume ,thats fanboy talk !

Joshuas style in itself is by far more pleasing to watch and doesnt jam up the boxing world with pointless callouts ,he actually stays on course and is fighting the more relevant fights thats why hes overtaken boxing coupled with Wilders very poor bone head of a manager whatever he is Dibella who hasnt helped him either bc hes looking at his pockets !

Only the UK fans think that Joshua has over taken Wilder. But the reality is your boy is scared of Wilder. He tried to be humble and give reason why he doesn't need Wilder until the masses ****ted on him. Now he wants to shove a glove down everyone's throat, lmao. Stiff ass.
