Comments Thread For: Klitschko: Joshua is Vulnerable, Let's See How He Develops

[BattlingNelson]

Wladimir Klitschko. What a class act.

[Slowhand]

He can be hit, and at HW, anyone can be hurt. I'm not sure on his chin yet. He took quite a few shots, some of them when he was exhausted. He only went down once. And let's be fair, that right hand would have leveled anyone. He took the full force of it.

This. Both men ate some huge bombs and still kept coming. If that Wlad right hand landed on Wilder he´d still be napping.

[PunchyPotorff]

Both Joshua and Klitschko have way better chins than Wilder though, which you're forgetting. Why do you think Al kept Wilder away from the Klitschkos all these years, and never puts Wilder in with a power puncher? Why do you think Wilder is the most protected fighter in boxing?

Thanx for the link, had forgotten about this one. I guess the Wilderiots will come back with 'he young doe'. LOL

More like 'he was owned doe'. HA!

Joshua has some serious flaws that he will likely fix to a certain degree, but Wilder is clueless for the first 3 rounds. By then Joshua will have annihilated him once and for all. It will be a huge embarrassment, and from then on, Wilder will fight nothing BUT fringe contenders and club fighters, in Alabama, and then quietly retire.

Get over yourself, dude

Boxing Logic makes some good points. Don't come on here with your deflectorama b.s.

Totally agree! The only reasonably good fighters Wlad beat were Chris Byrd, who beat Holyfield; Hasim Rahman, who KO'd Lennox Lewis; and David Haye, famed for beating the tallest world champion in history.

Chris Byrd tapped lightly with no power. Rahman did stun Lennox. Haye never mattered at all. Now Lennox vs Joshua would have been a great fight. But Wlad was never great or near great and has a glass jaw. Joshua willbe great for boxing as a champ.

Those guys were "bums" because a)Heavyweights didn't take their fitness seriously; and b)Wlad DID and beat the hell out of them.

Fury and Joshua didn't "pop that fraud's fake phony bubble"; Fury won a snoozefest by decision and Joshua got caught in a fight he was behind on until the 11th round. Klitschko was 39 and 41 years of age in those respective fights going against dudes in their prime and he still looked good. His showing against Joshua made him look better, if anything. He moved well, defended well until the 11th, and was otherwise frustrating and outboxing AJ to that point. Not to mention the clean right that put AJ down for the first time in his career.

Now go back to the kid's table and let the grown ups talk.

You made some good points boy but Wlad was a weak champion for a decade with no real contenders. Joshua was up on 2 of 3 judges cards going into the 11th round. Wlad is finished as Wlad crumbled like the Berlin wall.
Joshua will be a great champion.

From 2005 on the fraud Wlad fought nobodies and bums making a false record and a fake reputation as a heavy champion. What a hoot.
2005-Peter-Bryd -Brock-Austin-Brewster-Igbragimov-Thompson-Rahman-Chageav-Peter again- Mormeck-Haye-Thompson again-Wach the robot-Pianeta-Povetkin-Leapea-Pulev-Jennings- pretty much all bums with 2 peter wins and 2 tony T wins. Who the hell was any good. Wlad is a fake champ who was never really tested till the end. Wlad was an average tall gangly heavy with average skills beating on bums making a fake rep. FACT. So glad to see Fury and Joshua pop that fraud's fake phony bubble of pseudo greatness and bring that communist back to reality and then shame. WlaD WILL now go down as a stiff who fought nobody good.

fake reputation, false record, fake champion?
buahahaha...so what is real for you?in fact, wlad is recognize one of the best out there by every analyst, present boxer, HOF, and ATG...and you called him fake champ?hahaha...you are so funny dude..

Come on, Lewis is legitimately top 10 ATG at HW, possibly even top 5. Yeah he suffered a couple of KO losses but it's the heavyweight division, if history tells us anything then it'll happen to Joshua at some. It almost happened on Saturday against a man who is well past his prime.

I don't really like to compare era's and fantasy fights usually and I don't know how much Joshua will improve or progress... but as it stands i don't even think Lewis v Joshua would have been competitive except for giving Joshua a punchers chance.

Also, Wlad's reign shouldn't be downplayed, no matter what you think of the HW scene at the time. If it was that easy for reign for a decade then why doesn't it happen more often? - In future when people talk about heavyweight greats, Wlad will be in the conversation, that's for sure. He already is.

[M Bison]

Wilder has slim chance against Joshua you foos lol.

Joshua actually knows how to box..

Wilder is a fkin bum who got lucky.

This, Wilder is easily the weakest champion in the HW division.

Wlad built a fake rep beating on nobodies. Weak jaw on Wlad and weaker competition makes Wlad average just a big commie facing lesser opponents.
