    Whose bright idea is to compare a strong heavyweight guy with pillow fisted guy that weights like middle sized woman in pregnancy?

      why did you go from big floyd fan to big wilder fan when their styles are opposite?

      to answer your question, aj went in with a floyd-mentality, but he does not have floyd skills

        The problem most people got with AJ over this fight is AJ started doing some new sh^t that he's previously dogged Fury for doing but now cuz AJ did it mfers acting like hitting & not getting hit is some brilliant sh^t Team AJ damn near invented. GTFO with that bs & yes you are getting dogged about how you win when you gave us the expectation you are something else more entertaining PLUS dogged mfers for fighting just like you fought.

        Some girl out here can't be dogging hoes & then **** 3 guys over the weekend & think no one is gonna call her on her bs. That's what Team AJ is out here doing.
        wilder backed up all night in the first fights with stiverne and ortiz. he should be seen/treated the same way? this guy says he wants to kill someone in the ring but he fought on the back foot, what a fraud etc?

            Maidana didn't look like that when he fought floyd and he did not take his soul like Ruiz did in the first fight, from what I saw joshua simply gave up because he thought it would be an easy fight, that guy can't take a punch, a 41 year old klitschko nearly finished him.

              what is floyd's mentality? Floyd moved less and less the older he got, he used his "philly shell" most of the time....I mean he's supposed to be "the runner" but yet he threw and landed more punches on pacquiao. When you watch floyds fights he's always in front of the opponent waiting to counter, he had speed his opponents couldn't deal with and he wasn't scared to trade, look at when shane rocked him in the second or third round. He still didn't run, he stood in front of mosley and out boxed him trough out the fight.

                Wilder fought Fury. He didnt call him all the things AJ did to dismiss Fury as an opponent people would wanna see him fight & then do exactly what he talked sh^t about Fury for doing.

                    Floyd landed lots of power shots in both Maidana fights, but Floyd doesn't have power at 36/37 years of age. So Maidana walked through it. Nearly ALL of the clean work was done by Floyd and Maidana looked ordinary in 2nd fight when he wasnt allowed to low blow, hold and hit, rabbit punch, and tackle Floyd lol

                    AJ landed very few power punches. Nearly everything he landed was a jab. AJ AVOIDED exchanges with movement.

                    Floyd moved to reset, but used his patented shoulder roll as he often does and counter-puncher well. Floyd just couldnt hurt Maidana and Maidana did not respect the counter shots.
                    Maidana rematch was literally exactly the same as this fight. Without the hurtful punches.

                      When exactly did AJ dismiss Fury as an opponent? He called him out multiple times AND offered him a deal.
