If I was them I’d rather he fight Wilder than steroid guy, that dude could spark Jousha
If they dont voluntarily give Povetkin the money he looking for, Povetkin team gonna force it to go to Moscow by forcing a purse bid.


Russian billionaires and hackers bout to do work we gonna fukk around and get Povetkin/Wilder after all. :dame:

feels like most of the posters here don't think Joshua beats Wilder
interesting
I dont feel AJ makes it out the first 50 sec, no defense, straight line fighter, pure complete stiff.......Matter of fact if Wilder dont drop a right over the first 3-4 jabs he throws vs that stiff he aint shyt......


Blames Wlads inability to hit fighters his size for even having us waste time discussing this bum....:hhh:

WTF betting favorite means to me.......Off paper Everything AJ could do Wilder could do better everything, yet AJ is the hyped one, has alleged skills, and is supposed to be that guy

all I'm gonna say that those dudes usually know their shyt, their profit depends on it
Of course it can happen that they got it wrong especially if the odds are close and Wilder really do have a chance here but you making it out like AJ would stand absolutely no chance and he would be worse than Wilder in everything which sounds outlandish and in which case Wilder would be the very clear favorite here.

He needs a new trainer and to lose about 25 lbs. That bodybuilder shyt doesn’t work in boxing unless you’re more talented with more heart (BATB).

Yeah that's exactly what he fights like a bodybuilder who learned to box instead of a boxer w some S&C.

The bodybuilder build worked for Evander though.

From what I remember after Wilders last fight everyone was saying AJ beats Wilder, now people saying the opposite. I think a lot of it is based on him not knocking Parker out or significantly hurting him. Ortiz pressured Wilder the whole fight bar the the 5th round, wilder kept on getting caught because his defence was careless and all over the place at times. He just looked like the inferior fighter for the majority of the contest. Obviously you still have to give Wilder credit for getting the KO after coming back from being hurt.

But If AJ fights a similar fight to Ortiz then he'll win IMO. He's bigger, stronger, faster and more athletic than Ortiz so I don't think Wilder will be able to live with him if he approaches things aggressively. I also think AJ is a lot more effective when fighting guys the same height as him, the only two fights where people have criticised his performance were against guys who were 6'4 or below (Parker and Takam)

Aj is good on the inside and fighting on the inside can be harder against shorter guys.

I mostly agree with what you said. Wilder boxed pretty smart against Ortiz though but I agree that he was lagging behind at the time of the stoppage. Joshua doesn't have Ortiz' craftiness though, might be easier to tag.
Seems like the dropped weight made a positive change in Joshua's cardio but I doN't jump to conclusions yet cause the pace of this fight was not neck breaking to say at least
