mrsirdam: Ortiz and Stiverne are Wilder's only top 10 opponents after 40 fights. The man has been fighting stiffs.Ortiz was never AJ's Mandatory. Wilder was getting outboxed and countered before and after the knockdown in round 5. The referee saved his butt in round 8 by giving him more time to recover after Ortiz had him in trouble. Joshua's opponent are certainly better than Wilder. Whyte and Breazeale are currently number 1 and 2 in the WBC but Wilder ducked them to fight an out of shape Fury who had drug and alcohol problems and was terribly out of shape for over 2 years. Joshua already beat both men. 1 Like |

BluntBoy: Klitschko was absent for 18 months due to failed rematches against Fury. He was always in the gym and was in phenomenal shape on the night against Joshua. He produced one of his best fights in a decade even in defeat. Parker's surgery was a good thing. He was 100% when he faced Joshua. Compare that to Fury, who was out for 2 years, blew up in weight. Had drugs, alcohol and depression problems. He has fought 2 nobodies and is far from his best shape. That is the man Wilder wants to fight. Meanwhile, Whyte and Breazeale are number 1 and 2 in the WBC. Wilder has run away from big fights. He ducked klitschko when they were both champs. Lou debella said Wilder was not ready for Klitschko when he was WBC champ. Wilder reject two of his highest ever paydays to fight Joshua. No one is afraid. It is all about money. |

tbaba1234: Bro, you have not been following boxing at all. Why did Hearn arrange Whyte for Wilder if he really wanted Wilder's belt? In my opinion, I think AJ should be more interested in fighting Wilder than Wilder should be. AJ has the three significant belts and needs Wilder's belt to make history. He is already a unified champion, yet Hearn threw Whyte in Wilder's face. Like I said earlier, I don't suppose AJ is afraid of Wilder. He has said he would fight anybody they put in front of him. But Hearn is clearly scared of Wilder. You are still making excuses. You make excuses for AJ but don't want to allow excuses for Wilder. Just so you know, Wilder had even at a time cut his pay potentials just to fight AJ but the deal still dragged until AJ was mandated to fight Povetkin. |

SirToby: He was not 100% fit as he was barely recuperating. He was however 100% fit against Whyte. |
Re: Anthony Joshua Vs Alexander Povetkin: Heavyweight Boxing by SirToby(m): 1:18pm On Sep 21, 2018 |
BluntBoy:He was fit. His team stated the surgery has help his movement and power significantly, and will be a game-changer against Joshua. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12018013 |
Re: Anthony Joshua Vs Alexander Povetkin: Heavyweight Boxing by BluntBoy(m): 1:29pm On Sep 21, 2018 |
SirToby: It was all a mind game. My point is that we make a lot of excuses for these guys. Should Povetkin beat AJ tomorrow, excuses will start coming in from Hearn and his team. I will say it again, in my opinion, AJ is not scared, but his promoter is. Aside the brawling Whyte, every other person AJ has fought were rather passive. Wladmir was too defensive and Parker too concerned with fighting right. Wilder is the man who would give AJ some tough time because he doesn't let you come to him, he goes to meet you. No one has been able to do that to AJ, aside Whyte and aside Klischko, it is still only Whyte that had ever hurt AJ in the ring. Tomorrow, it would be another tough fight for AJ. If he handles Povetkin well, I will give him serious chance against Wilder. Until then, he hasn't convinced me much. |
Re: Anthony Joshua Vs Alexander Povetkin: Heavyweight Boxing by BluntBoy(m): 1:33pm On Sep 21, 2018 |
tbaba1234: Yes, Whyte and Breazeale are now highly ranked. But how highly regarded were they when they met AJ? The fact that AJ beat them then does not mean he will beat them now and still does not mean that Wilder will not be able to beat them. The word I highlighted in your post is significant. 1 Like |

BluntBoy: Oga, you do not follow boxing more than me. Whyte is number 1 in the WBC. Wilder should fight him and stop ducking. Whyte has earned his shot. Both fighters want the fight. I do not think anyone is scared. The problem is money. Wilder has been offered 12 million and then 15 million for the fight. This is 6 times higher than he earns normally but he rejected it. AJ is the one drawing the cash not Wilder. Wilder can not fill a stadium in the US. Wilder is not realistic with his money demands. 2 Likes |

chetmann:actually it isnt sir. Ali boxed against people with different styles including sluggers, swarmers, out fighters and inside fighters. And beat all of them. The reason he's considered as the greatest is not just because he beat every other great fighter in their prime but also because he changed strategy for each and every fighter he faced. Foreman, Frazier, Liston, Ken Norton, Cleveland Williams are some of the people he beat. All these guys are listed among the best HW boxers of all time 1 Like |

tbaba1234: This was what Whyte said concerning the AJ/Wilder potential clash: "I was No 1 but none of that was relevant, basically Deontay Wilder just kept on avoiding me, and then now he thought he had the fight and then Joshua went the other way." https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/11425907/dillian-whyte-has-no-sympathy-after-deontay-wilder-was-denied-anthony-joshua-fight If you are a heavyweight who has a belt like Wilder, you will understand why he would rather fight Fury than Whyte. |

haryomikun:and many of them beat him too. Wlad & vitali are tough guys,but that doesn't take anything away from ali's pedigree. Did you ever see sonny Liston vs aki 1%2? Too small and weak when compared to today's heavy weights. Wlad would have beaten Liston,Norton,Frazier,and young foreman. But then Ali is still who he is. |

chetmann:Not many beat him... He only had 5 losses and 2 of those are considered legit losses(Norton and the first Fraizer fight). The other three were after his prime when he was supposed to have retired. . The past heavyweights were smaller but not weaker mind you. Foreman and Shavers punch power alone beats each and every power puncher in this boxing era. I quite disagree with your point the quality of boxing then and now. If it was as weak as you said, then why did boxing have more followers then than now? Why don't more fighters from this era make the Boxing Hall of Fame? |

BluntBoy: In this generation, There are extremely few solid boxers on the planet as compared with the times of Ali and Iron Mike. In the last 10 years boxing has been retrogressing and the populace isn't even anywhere as interested in boxing unlike decades earlier. imagine that the only top notch boxers in the whole of America right now is Deotony Wilder, It was never like this far back. It's just like in football, Only Messi n Ronaldo are the top footballers for 10 years on a row, it wasn't like that in the past. Only 2 of them contest the world best player every year, in fact we always know who will win. Before Messi n Ronaldo we had rivaldo, figo, zidane, kaka, Ronaldo de lima, Ronaldinho Gaucho always struggling to win the world best player/European best players. This era has had poor representation in boxing. simple. 1 Like 2 Shares |
