Comments Thread For: Joshua Very Confident He Would Beat Wilder and Fury

[Gamboal00]

How galling, they're looking at 'May', so Joshua doing the 2-fight per year thing if we're lucky at 30 yrs old. He started this cadence when he was in his late twenties ffs. He's only had 23 fights. TWENTY THREE.

If you want any evidence that AJ is a product or a money-making asset rather than fighter, this is it. 2 fights per year against people he should be knocking out (Miller was a joke, Pulev or Whyte pose no threat whatsoever). So he's being protected, so he can continue to rake in money for Hearn and the rest of the cronies. Minimum effort/risk for maximum return and money raked from the fans.

Contrast this with Wilder. He's gonna be fighting 3 times in the space of 12 months vs Brezeale, Ortiz and then Fury. Even tho Fury is s drugs cheat, them last two are far more dangerous opponents than the safe bets AJ is banking.

Wilder has fought twice this year. Did you fail maths?

Joshua has beaten more top 10 HW's than Wilder and Fury combined.

Joshua could outbox Wilder for a while, but if he gets caught, which is likely, he'd be ko'd. He may have a better chance against Fury because the gypsy king isn't that threatening with power, but is quite slick, more than AJ.

Fury would outbox AJ and make him look like an amateur, and wilder may end AJ and catch his body for real. AJ won't fight them, and he said it himself that he wants soft touches if he beats ruiz. He is shook.

Joshua could beat either, he has the tools and ability. He just needs to follow the right tactics as posed by his coaching team. His 2 fights with Ruiz are perfect examples of what happens when you follow a plan or don't.

I said he 'will be', did you fail English?

How will he? Feb 2020 is a different year. To prove how ****** your claim that Wilder fights more often is here's something for you. Since 2016 Joshua has fought 9 times and Wilder 8.

I thought AJ was talking about getting out there in March. I'd like to to fight sooner than May.

I think Joshua KOs Wilder, but Fury probably outboxes him.

I think so too.

If AJ tried to outbox Fury at range for the whole 12 rounds, like he did Ruiz, he would get schooled for the whole 12 rounds, and I'm sure he knows that himself. He would need to be aggressive and go forward letting punches go, which is what he would do. I would favour Fury to handle AJ's aggression and win the fight on points.

If he tried to outbox Wilder like that he would do it easily, but only until he got hit with that fast, long right hand of Wilder's, at which point it would be game over for AJ. He doesn't have Fury's recuperative powers, so one good punch from Wilder would be all it took.

But I'm not buying this dumb idea that AJ not being able to KO Ruiz means that he can't KO Wilder either, and would need to use the same tactics against Deontay that he just used against Andy.

I don't believe Wilder could handle AJ's power any better than AJ could handle his. But AJ is much better at using his jab to set up powerful right hands, and can also hit hard with either hand at mid/close range, which Wilder can't do.

There is a reason why Wilder's handlers wouldn't let him fight AJ for any amount of money before AJ lost to Ruiz, and that reason still applies. Wilder won't fight AJ unless he loses his WBC title to Fury, because if he does, he will most likely get brutally KTFO.

The longer Joshua stays away from deontay the longer he gets to keep his belts so I see him fighting dillian before he fights deontay
