You don't make a silver medal at the world championships after coming out of jail 3 wks prior and you definitely don't make an olympic gold medalist. I'll take you seriously when the Alabama bum starts unifying and fighting young boxers who're 100% fit.

He has zero charisma because he tries so hard to be perfect all the time, to keep all his sponsors happy. It's so obvious. The way he talks in interviews is so contrived.
He'll never leave Hearn either. Matchroom have been driving the Joshua brand since he turned pro.
The Klitchko he beat was 40 years old and inactive for 16 months after being embarrassed by Fury. He still got badly hurt. That was his best win but the rest of his world title fights have not been impressive. He's just not who you think he is. The level of hype behind him in Britain (I'm British btw) has been way too much. I'll be glad when he's retired.
When Matchroom gets dropped in the garbage can where it belongs, don't be shocked.
If you're Brit, you'd know he deserves the hype because of the stick he took when he first turned pro. When he turned pro, it was about how he might be the new Audley Harrison and that's one of the reasons why his career was rushed because everyone kept moaning about how he was fighting pub fighters. Then he stepped it up. People started believing in him based on the way he destroyed Cornish who was an undefeated highly touted Scottish prospect.
The Dillian fight and the way he KO'd him since Dillian was also highly rated as a prospect made him a star in the UK. And the Wlad fight made everyone a believer.
You should know this if you're a true Brit and not one of the racist cu.nts and fake roadman out there who're just on the hate train because their lives are miserable. He earned everything.

Originally posted by REDEEMER View PostWilder can be over hyped anyway because he and his team neglected a Wlad Klitschko fight off the bat and made that clear in the ring after Stiverne in 2015, he then dragged his feet with fights no one wanted to see. Joshua cant be over hyped because he unified in 2 years and accumulated 6 title defenses in 22 fights with top ranked guys .
The thread like most Wilder ones are baseless and have no point to it.
Joshua, on the other hand, was overhyped from the minute he entered the scene way before he beat anyone of note. He was overhyped because his actual skills obviously did not match the expectations.

Which says how terrible the division is. When someone like him was allowed to rule the division for a while. The others wanted heavy money before they would even entertain fighting him. Took Ruiz to bust that myth, now everyone and their ma regret ducking those huge payday against him.

If you were around in 2015 Wilder was said to be the next big thing even by Steward and Wlad years before. This was cut short with his antics and following AJ's career riding his name shortly by 2016.
What people didn't know was a fight where Wilder was saved by the bell with a guy named Harold Sconiers and that led to his teams decisions of safety fights at least making sure vitali Klitschko wasn't in the picture anymore. Joshua has succeeded in accomplishing more then Wilder in 22 fights or so what are you guys over hyping compared to what you claim no hype that rides on being undefeated in over 40 but we know he lost ?
Again makes no sense to what you claim is over hype .Last edited by REDEEMER; 07-17-2019, 04:51 PM.

I'd say Joshua's overall skill set is better than Wilder's but Wilder has more power and much better stamina.
Wilder is actually exceeding what was expected by most. For Joshua I think the opposite may prove to be the case.

Can you explain why Ruiz was considered an underdog by 99.9% of the boxing public?
The second part ,well Joshua is still the favorite going in the rematch. Ha
