Offical Thread : Klitschko vs Joshua April 29 : Somebody bout to get dey ass Koed in fronna 90,000.

I don't think any of them have crossover potential.
Not those 3. Canelo would if his English was better, but I think we're still searching for the guy. Boxing will find him though

The talent pool right now is very good though. With or without that big name

Anthony Joshua looks like the guy, breh. Boxing has been waiting for a heavyweight for a while.

I wish WWE could present itself more like boxing/UFC. Wrestling has historically produced the most stars, but we're lacking nowadays when it comes to mainstream crossover. It's 1. UFC 2. WWE 3. Boxing when it comes to mainstream stars recently, but boxing is about to surpass WWE.

Wilder v Joshua would be a great fight IMO. Evenly matched, wouldn't call it personally.


Fury v Joshua would still be good to watch though if Fury sorts himself out. Fury is too big and awkward, anyone would have trouble facing him.

Nah, Cunningham had Fury ready to go, just too small, any good active HW will knock Fury out
Fury beating a shyt Wlad who wasn't able to get near and hug him has him being overrated heavily.
I will say I give Fury props for coming into the ring and calling out Wilder. That would have been a great fight, but he couldn't get his life together.

Breh you can never count out the kind of power Wilder is packing.

We just gonna ignore the complete lack of discipline and boxing IQ he has shown time and again when he is gunning for the knockout? This shyt is pure

Arms wide open like he giving a bear hug, worst I've seen in years goddamn

Not to mention fukkin Molina had him stumbling

Then he should have been knocked out right?
How about all the wining and wide punching we saw tonight?
Deontay knows when he has a person her that person aint returning shyt and thats why he does what he does.
You look at fights where he knows a person can punch or counter, and you don't see wild swinging.
You should pray if Joshua fights Deonay you don't see those wild punches, if you don't that means Joshua still might have a chance and the fight isn't over for him.

AJ doesnt have crossover potential....really????

I don't think so to be honest. I don't think it's him.

 

[LeVraiPapi]

another possible thing is femi is coming in heavy to turn wlad's thing on leaning on opponents against him

We had dope as analysis for the fight.

Good shot my brehs

 

[H.I.M.]

Bruno would have ended it in 3 if he landed though, he had real life changing power

Bruno would've probably beat a prime Wlad...look what he was doing to Prime Lennox in their fight in the 1st 6 rds.

Bruno had less stamina than AJ.

HELL NAH

Joshua just showed some next level terrible stamina in this fight...

He lowkey was already gassed even before the 5th...he fought roughly 4 & half rds at a normal pace and was dead ass tired...i ain't never seen no shyt like that at the so-called "elite" level... not since Wlad punched himself out against Brewster in 5 rds

He's extremely fortunate he had a hesitant old man in there with him, who also had to worry about his own bad stamina so he didn't want to over expend himself and try to force a stoppage...and just thought he could do the usual "jab & grab" until his opponent faded away...

Josh showed some good heart & fortitude though


But he has to have the worst gas tank i ever seen for an "elite" Heavy...

That is true but he has shown that he can box well when he doesn't go in with reckless abandon. With a good game he is a legit problem.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

You believe Bellew to be a factor in HW ? Isn't he just a blown up cruiserweight ? Wasn't impressed at all by him against a achilles-less Haye.

He's not a contender at HW, but he's a draw in the UK, and that makes him a factor.

He carries too much muscle mass. He needs to drop it and I bet his stamina will improve

There's a difference between wide punching later in rounds from fatigue and wide punching from habit and bad technique. I can guarantee that Wilder will do that shyt early in the fight and get caught with an uppercut that every other fighter was too unaware or too scared to throw. Putting money on that no question

So sloppy wide punching is okay if you are tired, this it is uncounterable and not bad technique. LOL
Stop kid, enjoy watching your boy win his fight, enjoy it.
Don't try to incorrectly shyt on Deontay to boost your boy up, just gonna make it that much harder on you when BombSquad styles on you after they fight.

Wald physique got me looking like

fukk looking like that at 41, I'm doing sit ups now

Nah you stop it breh, if you think Deontay is gonna coast off of pure power and ignore his woeful lack of technique after already being in 30 fights you gotta get real with yaself. If you ain't been pissed at your boy for his sloppiness then you need to boost your boxing IQ up breh
