Comments Thread For: Joshua: Wilder Has Not Been Taught To Box on His Back Foot

[Roberto Vasquez]

People are going too far with Wilder - in the 2nd fight where he looked terrible he still landed enough to right hands on Fury to put him down if one had landed flush.

Joshua Vs Wilder is no easy fight for Joshua

You muat be joking. Watch the Jacobs fight. And how he uses his lead foot to setup for counter punching

Was he fighting on the backfoot or was that Jacobs doing it mostly? I can tell you that Canelo was the one on the front foot trying to force countering opportunities. Canelo does not fight on the backfoot well, hell he struggles greatly with backfoot fighters himself because he's such a plodder. Lara is a much better example of a great backfoot fighter.

True, I still think Joshua doesn't move quickly enough to avoid a Wilder right hand. His head movement is non-existent so just imagine what happens when he can't take the sting off a Wilder punch like Fury can.

I'm going to say it how it is

Deontay Wilder is literally ****

the word starts with S and ends in T

He has basically zero skills, zero ring IQ and was simply blessed being born 6'7" and having an A* power right hand

That's it

Outside of his natural gifts he is absoloutley atrocious with basically zero skill

If he had average power in his right hand he wouldn't be a top 100 heavyweight, I'm dead serious, guys like Molina, Washington, Szpilka were EASILY beating him until his power bailed him out.

Talk **** on AJ all you want you will never see him 5-0 down on the cards Vs Gerald Washington level opposition

ive endlessly posted on this site how poor wilder really is and yet we had the likes of WBC,WBA goon , 1hour run , shoulder , Deontay and a few other’s talking like he was the next messiah.
Each one of those guys were either blind to what we could see or they were so patriotic they simply refused to acknowledge his lack of ability.
These guys follow boxing so I don’t know what justified they opinion of stank wilder.

His ring IQ is actually very high. He fights smart, he knows his only chance is waiting on his big right hand on distance.

I've always believed that not being able to box off the back foot would be Joshua's problem facing Wilder and given Joshua's state of mind here i'd have to go for Wilder in a shoot out.

[Oshio]

Dear Joshua, even a foetus knows that Wilder cannot box on a back foot. No thanks for saying what everyone knows

[Boxviewer]

Well Wilder is a slugger. He is not accustomed to fighting on the back foot. In the trilogy he has to stake out his territory in the center of the ring and don't move backwards.

Force Fury to back up because the last thing Fury wants to do is to trade and exchange punches with Wilder in the center of the ring. It is too risky.

Fury did exactly that, from the sign box, he ran to the centre to trade blow with Wilder. We all know how it ended. Once you take away the space for Wilder to launch the right hand he becomes hopeless. The guy lacks boxing fundamentals. That's the truth. Period.

[Cobra Curry]

So it took Fury to show Joshua how to beat wilder and now he's all enlightened with the blueprint.

Just like it took Parker to show him how to beat Ruiz.

Here's a question for Joshua then. How does he beat Fury if no one has shown him how cos Fury has never been beaten...hmmm?

Not quite. Joshua said before the Fury rematch that he would look to stop Wilder in 6 rounds or so.
He has also said previously that he would look to take to Fury, although personally I think Fury beats him on points.

AJ's tactic would be to box Wilder from med-range and inside. If you don't Wilder space to launch the right he becomes powerless, Fury has proved this.
