Comments Thread For: Holyfield Explains Why He is Leaning To Joshua Over Wilder

[daggum]

im picking the guy that falls over when throwing punches and was losing to spilzka and washington because he ko'd a 40 year old bloated man in 1 round

I some of my brain cells died reading this.

It certainly seems like it because apparently you can't even form a simple sentence.

as a UK fan I still believe right now Wilder knocks out Joshua if they fight I don't rate either highly but Joshuas gas tank is really going to let him down soon

Who do you "rate" in the heavyweight division then? Who has accomplished more? Lucas "Big Dummy" Browne? Parker? Joshua may have stamina problems and Wilder has fought mostly weak competition but to not even rate either is laughable. I don't care what country you're from.

Laughable? These are some of the worst heavyweight champs for years the division lacks serious talent dont tell me the top 4 or 5 fighter are anything special windmill bird legs, a body builder, a 75yr old cuban

Sure it makes it interesting but only because all of them are so flawed you could make a case for either to win and the answer is Fury is the most talented in the division if he didnt turn into a slob none of them would have belts by now think about that

I'm comparing them to other "current" pros. When you said you don't rate them, I assumed you meant in comparison to other active fighters.

He says it because Joshua has a style more similar to him so it's easier to see it working

You know, youth is your strength. I think Anthony Joshua is just a more complete fighter.

32 is relatively young in HW

Evander is 100% correct. AJ has been in with a better foe, one whom Wilder's team didn't say they were ready for...

AJ with his standard technical ability is better than Wilder's rawness. Wilder is faster but his jab is the same each time and AJ's straight punches can time him.

AJ has had 20 fights and Wilder 39, so you never know, but I have AJ all the way. Of course anyone can get knocked out since it's the heavyweights.
