Comments Thread For: Hearn Expects a "Different" Anthony Joshua in Pulev Fight

[deathofaclown]

Wilder was on the way up but had already had more fights that Joshua has had even now. So in that sense you could say Joshua is still on his way up. I get the impression certain ppl on here just don't like giving Joshua any credit for anything he's done in this sport, do the fan boys over rate him? Yes, but he's done well so far.

But in regards to them not holding a candle to who Fury beat on the road I cant argue. I completely agree.

Well indeed, Wilder was moved very slowly. It was actually a wise thing anyway. The guy can’t box, so all those fights against no hopers actually allowed him to hone and perfect a style of finding the target with a big shot, which he is great at. It was always going to come unstuck once he fought someone with a lot of tools, like Fury, but Wilder still spent years perfecting a style that’ll allow him to beat pretty much anyone in a limited division, as far as talent goes.

AJ has done well for the amount of fights he’s had, nobody can say otherwise. I don’t think he’s some top or elite fighter, and it won’t take an elite fighter to beat him again, just a good fighter having a good night. But as far as what he’s achieved, he’s done well and wasn’t matched soft.
