The numbers aren't misleading at all. Nobody cares here about him here. They know that Joshua is a big stiff ass, no body punching, no jab using stiff. The Wlad fight where Wlad was old made Joshua look good mislead a lot of people thinking that he has skill.

Now all of these skills that yall claimed that Joshua has over Wilder-where are they? He's not a body puncher, he can't throw the right hand, and if you take away his left hook and right uppercut on the inside, he has almost less that's ordinary skills. He becomes a keep you at bay jab using clincher.

Where are his skills? I haven't seen any in the last two fights. He is winning on size alone. That's why they're scared of Wilder Joshua **** blower.

..... I know he wasnt saved by the bell against a 50 year old !

I also know a large majority of ppl will miss the fight at day time bc of work . You would know this if you had a job , maybe ?


Wilder Skill Sets .

1. Footwork . Is really chalky ( stops and starts in sporadic patterns ) . If he wasnt 220 pounds he would be in trouble thats why he stays light . Nothing is fluid ,he backs up in straight lines , at times he looks like a stalling car .

2 . Punch Selection . He has no hook abilities or combination punching ,usually throwing a one two ,basic jab then straight right . We dont know actually how good his jab is bc he paws it half the time and doesn't really use it to set other shots up .

Hes been most successful by just sticking his left hand out over an opponents face area to disguise his right hand . Body shots are also few bc he doesnt punch effectively on the inside unless again his opposition is stunned .

He has a great straight right and decent upper cut . Hes only effect with hooks when an opponents stunned bc he goes WILD and has a habit of cuffing opponents behind the head . Hes fairly accurate .


3. Defense . His defense is his footwork , staying out of range . It has major holes ,hes not hit often bc hes fast and hes 6'7 . Hes also susceptible to counter punching bc his 6'7 frame falls off balance alot when he misses .



Does this mean he cant box ? No , he still wouldn't be a champion .

It does mean he relies on being taller and faster . Hes also a thinker , good ring IQ but theres a reason hes been behind in fights .....


Lack of skill and relies on one power punch which is a right hand . This isnt going to work forever , i guarantee it ! Hes limited skilled fighter who is athletic and can punch which is going to make him dangerous but the right fighter will find a way to pick him apart and Ortiz came close .


You mad at the break down ,i noticed you ignored it on the other thread ,whys that you mad.......BRO ?

I read your post, and then said, ok he hasn't said anything that we haven't seen every day lmao. But at the bottom of your post, you asked if I was mad at the breakdown. And you're asking why I ignored it. Lmao. Um which thread is this? And then you ask why I am mad lol. Are you sure that you're responding to the right poster? lol.

Joshua showed all of his skills against old man Wlad. He showed how you would look hitting the heavy bag he looked so good hitting a stationary Wlad. Good technique everything. Hell I looked good hitting the heavy bag at the gym. I showed grreat technique lmao.

Joshua in his last fight hasn't even shown a glimpse of what he showed in the Wlad fight. Younger fighters, moving targets. Joshua's jab is still inconsistent, he can't land the right hand or the left hook. He can't even land the right uppercut. He jabs when he has to, he's not really looking to land the jab, and if he is...he isn't landing it. And then he clinches.

I don't see this overwhelming skills that you all say that Joshua has over Wilder.

Joshua is the B-side in the American market.

[The plunger man]

You call me a ******, yet you don't even know how to read. What you did was childishly jump in my throat, and not even have the intelligence to read and comprehend what we were saying. Hopefully I can dumb it down to your level.

You mentioned Joshua's numbers were low because he's not an American (you seem to think Americans will only watch American boxers for some reason) To which I showed you that Kovalev had quarter mil more viewers than AJ did. And then you called me ******ed.

As for providing you quotes and links to every ****** thing someone has said on here, it's not happening. The three main people who kept spewing the same idiocy were eventually put on my ignore list. Guys like kafkod I will chat with and debate with respectfully because he's not a douche, we just don't agree.

You cannot send a link because its simply not true what you spoke.
I have not seen anyone on this site mention joshua is huge in america its simple as that and you have maide it up.
Kovalev has been fighting in the states for years and is actually a us based fighter who had a US trainer and oromoter and joshua has none of these and yet you try and compare them.
Sorry who ever you are you are deluded with your views and totallly wrong.
In terms of boxing appeal joshua is huge in the uk and sells out 90k stadiums and 2 million ppv....as for the states he has along way to go and who ever says he hasnt send them to me and i will educate them although i think your find its probably a figment of your imagination son

Joshua is the B-side in the American market.

Totally. Unfortunately Wilder has shown that market isn't really worth that much at the moment. You'd hope that it would be substantially bigger for a fight between Wilder v Joshua though, so the winner get's their name on the map over there.

AJ was never stated to be a star in the US. However for a fight in another country and on replay, where does 400k rank in terms of viewership?

AJ is a star in the UK and relatively known around the World. He is making his M's and so are his opponents.

He is the biggest HW star in the World.

Being the A side in the UK is bigger money than being the B side in the US. Wilder is the A side in the US but is making 2 or 3 M. His opponents are getting paid what?

"How come Fat Dan hasn't written one article about how boring and unwatchable AJ is?"

Why isn't Deontay Wilder Next for Anthony Joshua?

Dan Rafael ESPN
April 2, 2018:

Now that Anthony Joshua has unified three major heavyweight title belts, the obvious fight -- easily the most important in boxing -- is a fight for the undisputed title against Deontay Wilder.

A Joshua-Wilder fight would undoubtedly be much better and probably more exciting than the Parker fight, which Joshua won by overly generous scores of 119-109, 118-110 and 118-110. Joshua said after vanquishing Parker that he was game for Wilder next, but in the ring Joshua said he wants the fight in the U.K.

For some reason, Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn continues to say that Wilder doesn't want the fight when Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) and his team say (loudly) otherwise...

I believe the fight will happen, but probably not next. It seems like each man would have one more fight first -- Joshua-Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller and maybe Wilder-Dominic Breazeale -- and then the big one in the first part of 2019.

The Joshua-Parker hype was heavy and the crowd electric but the fight was a massive dud. Nonetheless, the forgettable fight is in the books (hopefully, non-stop interfering and apparently clueless referee Giuseppe Quartarone will never be seen again) and now it's all about just one thing: Getting Joshua in the ring with Wilder to crown an undisputed champion.

You have to see the difference of the headline between the 2....

[j.razor]

Showtime is such a bum network for boxing, any of these promoters or fighters picking showtime over HBO are only holding themselves back.

For fck sake, Deontay wilder has barely grown in popularity since leaving HBO, and it's been years.

Wow, talk about having it backwards....LOL

[P4Pdunny]

if he fights Wilder it's going to be in the UK

[Tygshsu]

if he fights Wilder it's going to be in the UK

Not if MGM Resorts get involved in a bid.Even Eddie Hearn and AJ's Team will have to convince him where to make REAL Money.
