Comments Thread For: Klitschko Backing Joshua To Unify The Heavyweight Division

[Shadoww702]

AJ is too stiff and has a weak chin. Wilder TKO’s him and Fury boring UD

[PinkGod]

Wlad wouldn't be a top 3 HW, stop it... Fury beats AJ comfortably, Wilder KO's him in the later rounds.

Pointless article, who gives a ****?

Klitschko just wants to say that he was beaten by the best fighter of the next generation.

It would hurt his pride to admit that he lost to a guy who was stopped by a fat guy.

Did you miss the fight? It sounds like you just read a few comments on here.

He completely outboxed him. Landed the better shots. Moved. Avoided getting hit.

I watched it. Unfortunately. That was one of the most annoying fights I've ever seen. One was jumping and running like a kangaroo. The other one was so heavy he could not actually move.

It was a real disgrace of a fight for me.

And yes, AJ landed the better shots and of course he deserced to win, but he didn't avoid Ruiz like a boxer does (look at Alì for that...how he did. And nowadays look at Fury). He avoided him like a runner does. It simply stayed away from his range. 99% of the time.

Terrible, terrible fight.

All 3 of them (ie AJ/Fury/Wilder) could come out as the unified champ, thats what makes the division exciting right now. Fury is the most skilled by far but has the least power, Wilder has the most power but is the least skilled, AJ isnt as skilled as Fury and doesnt have the one shot power of Wilder, but he brings a dual threat of both ability and power that the other two dont have.

This just about sums it up -- good post.

Sorry dude, I disagree.

Yes, he's been clipped a few times, knocked down a few times, lost once...he's also been knocked down and come back and won, arguably against a fighter that if he came out of retirement would go straight back into the top 3.

If Joshua can take a punch from Klitsckho and win, he can take a punch. Ruiz didn't get Joshua out of there from the one temple shot (yes, it was the catalyst), it was a combination of power shots and knock downs that saw the fight stopped - credit to Ruiz for the win - but to say Joshua can't take a punch after all of that, is silly.

Its universally accepted that power is the last thing to go (we saw that in Wilder v Ortiz 1 as well) so to say that Joshua is scared just because he's now lost is just easy to say and worthless in terms of credibility.

Wilder knows that Joshua can ****. Its just as easy to say that Wilder is scared of Joshua and that's why the fight hasn't happened.

Time will tell who's wrong on this topic. Pulev can **** (before Klit; he dominated opponents) and Fury/Wilder 2 will change the dynamic of this division again come the morning of 23rd Feb.

If the UD fight ever happens and Joshua is in there, we will see what happens. Just take into consideration that Wilder has one proven game plan, Fury has one proven game plan...Joshua has two.

Funny how you AJ nuthuggers are bigging up Pulev as a credible opponent untill they are exposed as bums. Remember AJ fans go on about Breazeale being a great win on AJ's CV untill Wilder smashed him in just 1 round now AJ fans don't mention the poor guy anymore.

Not after Ruiz laid down the blueprint.
Everyone saw the frailty of AJ.

[The plunger man]

Joshua got beat by Ruiz because he rushed in and got caught.....it happens but he came and schooled Ruiz , fury has actuLly been dropped more times in his career , 4 times by ...2 by wilder , one by a cruiser and the other by a Bulgarian taxi driver.
I’ll take Joshua to knock both wilder and fury and he will do if they decide they want all the belts.
But now this week it’s about wilder vs fury and I hope Tyson pulls it off , he has the skill over wilder for sure , but wilder seems to be more accurate and straighter with that right hand...if fury fights like he did with wallin he gets knocked out...if he sharp and on point he beats wilder....I can’t pick this fight at the moment

[Digital Mouth]

Of course you do because AJ is the only one out of the three top HW's who sucks on the end of your big Ukrainian ****.
