Comments Thread For: Joshua: Take Away Wilder's Right Hand, Take Away His Confidence

[Just looking]

To start with, to say that Wilder only has the right is just wrong. Even worse is to think that Joshua can take it from him, when Klitschko already showed he is completely open for it and Wilder has way more boxing IQ than Joshua

Bro, you could get jumped on by delusional AJ folks. As far as they are concerned, Wilder has no boxing IQ. You saying that he has way more boxing IQ than AJ is like insulting the emperor for them. AJ needs to win against Parker and then sign up to fight Wilder - then, when (not if) Wilder whoops him, then they will say maybe he is not as ****** as he looks.

good luck lol they are going to attack u, im trying to figure out whats so special about AJ, hes no scrub don't get me wrong but they act like the guy has no flaws and doesn't get sloppy when hes tired which happens around round 4. no head movement in the later rounds, little or no lateral movement, why are these fans acting like this guy is the messiah of boxing. yes he sales I get that but they need to stop it

I don't really hear Joshua screaming for the fight right now tbh. Aren't they already setting up his next fight that is not wilder?

Also... if wilder turns out to be a hype job and lasts 30 seconds with another top HW, he will have accomplished his goal of just securing his future for himself and his daughter. He talks about legacy, but I don't really think he cares that much. A Joshua fight in the UK would be huge, and big money for both. Might as well take the money and run.

aj would make more v fury or haye in the uk sky trying to build wilder up over here so its a huge fight if it happens aj dont say much cos hes facing a better fighter than wilder in 3 weeks in parker wilder has come across arrogant talking he would beat tyson and that aj is ducking him and shouting bomb squad hes hard to like and besides his one punch power hes awful on the eyes runs then throws swings like kids do on the play ground really cant see him going any further now hes stepping up

I agree Whyte rocked him and Whyte is very one dimensional. His first real test was Klitschko and let's face it Klitschko was way past his best, if that was Klitschko from a couple of years back he would have been stopped, that's why I give Parker a very good chance for me the upset of the year.

AJ will do the booty dew in round 1. sig it.


he's not as skilled or fluid as Ortiz. he won't avoid that right hand RPG. he's way too stiff.

I'm calling it.


booty dew in round 1.

The goal isn't to look good, it's to win. Which Wilder does by KO. Yet a guy who struggled with Hughie Fury and Andy Ruiz is better than Wilder? Please explain?

Look at my reds, I don't care anymore, but thanks. The thing is, Wilder always adapt to his opponents, literally all his wins since he got the belt where taken by adapting. Duhaupas was beat on the inside, Szpilka was countered on his looping-left with a sort right, Washington was caught in a rhytim break. So much adaptation means a very good fighting IQ. On the other side, I don't remember Joshua adapting to opponents., for example, the shot that got Klitschko was exactly the same hook-upper combo he was throwing before with the same rhytim. Joshua is a very basic fighter, he does what he does well, but it's too little. Add to having poor head movement that he's jab is underranged, only find distance and set up punches and his footwork is only good in keeping him balanced

He's gotten more arrogant, yes, but to be fair, he likely does it because being the bad guy makes money. He wasn't like that 10 or so fights ago. His arrogance will get him beaten before anything else. I think he wants to just play bad guy, make some money, and then retire.

I'm not particularly a Joshua fan or a Wilder fan, but I defend both of them a lot on these forums because people seem to think that a fighter has to be either near-perfect or terrible.

Wilder and Joshua do a lot of things well. Whilst Wilder has a lot of little technical flaws, his natural talents are very underrated and people make out that he's some no-skilled bum with 40 KOs.

Joshua is the opposite, in my opinion. His natural talents are overrated, particularly with his stamina issues, but people who **** on his technical skills don't really know what they're talking about in my opinion, especially when you consider that Joshua had a very successful amateur career. Joshua has a very good jab. It's heavy and fast. He should thrown more doubles and triples, but to say that his jab is just a range finder is clearly wrong. Look at what he did to Brazeale.

I actually like both fighters for different reasons, they each have significant strengths and minor weaknesses.
