    Joshua's big tree trunks make him a sitting duck.

    His build is all wrong for boxing.
    Joshua is a high-light reel KO waiting to happen.

    He's there to be had.
    Better to have strong legs than arms in boxing.

      Not if those strong legs are slow as cold molasses.

      AJ's build is all wrong for boxing.
      Too muscle-bound

      3 punches and he's tired

      He's a sitting duck...there to be had.

      He'll be lucky to leave the sport with his life....let alone his sense.

        Many fans are so used to blubbery over weight heavyweights that they think a heavyweight with low body fat is skinny. Wilder has a big powerful upper body. His thin legs are strong enough to move him quickly around the ring. He has KOed everyone he fought so clearly he hits very hard even if most of his opponents were not very good.

          Wilder's top-heavy. He never works his legs. That's what will fail him if he gets hurt. His spaghetti legs won't be able to keep him up. A flamingo's legs are bigger.

            Which has clearly been an issue for him so far. Are we just going to act like 90% of boxers had bird legs until Mike Tyson came along?

                  Which part is misunderstood? Tyson came in with massive legs that he used to propel his uppercuts, changed things at the time. If you look at guys like Ali, Holmes, Patterson, etc. none of them had big legs.

                    Maybe in a world where the average person is obese. Wilder is lean, he’s not skinny or scrawny.

                      What you smoking?

                      Ali had strong legs. Not sticks like Wilder.
