I used to think Joshua would destroy Wilder

You talk like a Joshua nut-hugger who checks his closet every night for Deontay Wilder

Lmmfao...!!!

[Eddy Current]

Wilder would have to stop making ****** demands first. You calling people little?

Joshua is scared to death of Wilder and for good reason. Joshua knows damn well he would get laid out by Wilder.

No evidence of that. Plenty of Wilder asking for more than he's worth though.

Haha, let's just lay off this conversation until there are some further developments!

Well we all saw Headvetkin Huck so these guys might be able to compete with guys their size at hvw even if they weight more but Wilder and Joshua are 6'6 and 6'7 and big long, lanky guys and they have power.

Kell Brook imo maybe won a round against GG. There are a few CW's who can beat low end heavies, but beating the big dogs is a whole different matter.

Usyk did pretty good in his exhibition match against Joe Joyce and won quite comfortably. Joe is a tall big guy too.

I root for little guys but this is too steep a jump. And Joyce isn’t the big 2 lol...

Comparing Wilder to Joe Joyce now? Come on... height is not all that matters here. Neither is reach. It is the ability to use them. Wilder fights mid to tall with a wide stance allowing him to dart in and out. No heavyweight is as athletic in their movement as Wilder. No heavyweight is as explosive as Wilder. These are the 2 underrated aspects of his game.

Watch many Wilder fights - it seems like he is doing nothing and then he suddenly explodes on his opponents. It almost seems as if he is trying to get them into a lull state before jumping suddenly on them. How do you prepare for that?

Also Usyk struggled with guys in CW without enough power. Even in the fight against Joyce, he struggled with the latter who has little to no fitness and little punching power.
