Comments Thread For: Thurman: Joshua is Not Yet Ready For Wilder, Needs More Time

[Make U Cry]

You're wrong about this Keef.

Lets see Jousha beats Klitschko while Wilder beats unranked bums and Jousha is not ready for Wilder. Yea I can see Thurman is the brightest bulb of the Thurman family

Just looking at stats.

Joshua's first real fight was may 2015 against Johnson. He stopped him in 2 rounds (which considering he's never been stopped including fights against vitali, pulev, fury, etc) was no mean feat. He then fought 4 unbeaten men in a row, including whyte, Martin and breazeale. Followed up by Molina (who he destroyed without being wobbled like Wilder) before the big fight against klitschko and takam. All the above my knockout and quite clear the increased level of opponent overtime.

Taking above into account he has fought 2 of top 10 by the ring and boxrec. Of the WBC top 10 he has fought 4, WBA 1, IBF 4, WBO 3.

Wilder on the other hand. He started his career 5 years ahead of Joshua but first meaningful fight was probably Harrison about the same time Joshua was starting up, it was Harrison's last fight and he already had six losses by then. A couple of easy fights followed , then took out Malik Scott, again some easy fights then Stiverne (who at the time was a ok fighter) who he beat by decision. Struggled past Molina next fight followed by several easy fights again with a couple domestic level ones thrown in. His last fight was against the out of shape stiverne. None of his opponents are in the ranking list of either the ring or boxrec. He also has fought no one in he top ten of either WBC, WBA, WBO or IBF.

Judge for yourself who you think is most likely to be ready?

Instead of writing paragraphs of garbage just accept they have both fought bums. And need to fight each other asap to gain genuine credibility.

Thurman fans are becoming Spence fans!

Spot on, I like when people argue with facts.Facts belong to the public domain and opinions are subjective.Joshua has a better resume, well stated.

I feel like avoiding Spence is messing with his mind

The bro just stated facts and all you came out with is a personal opinion.Do you even have comprehension skills? The bro infers that Joshua has a better resume.For this reason, Josh is likely ready to take on Wilder right now.I would rather enjoy your post supported by facts. THEY HAVE BOTH FOUGHT BUMS , that line is an example of a simplistic argument and does not add values to the conversation(no vexation intended).Merry Xmas.

not ready? i'd say based on what i saw at wembley even that 41 year old version of wlad was considerably better than wilder. wilder had fits against spzlika.

[P4Pdunny]

You mean like you need more time for Spence?

Wasn’t Stiverne the number one contender? So much for your Wilder never fought anyone in the top 10 argument. Now all that bullshyt you said has no credibility. I never thought Stiverne deserved a shot but that wasn’t up to Wilder.
