well he certainly has not evolved or improved as a pro...in fact I would say he has gotten worse.

Moving on to reverse psychology now?

I don't know if Joshua is the boogeyman of the division as i don't rate him that high, but when people seems to be turning down 4/5 times their normal pay to fight him then it starts looking like he might be the HW divisions boogeyman. A boogeyman usually doesn't bring a huge payday, but these guys are doing rematches instead of wanting to become one face, they are asking for more time to do the fight and wanting more percentage split in their favour, they want compensation before they would get in the ring with him. Maybe he is the boogeyman.

From what I’ve seen, Fury, Wilder and Whyte have all asked for two things: a percentage and VADA testing. That doesn’t make Joshua the boogie man.

Whyte says that ten weeks isn’t enough time for drug testing, he’s not wrong. The fact that his own stablemate is demanding VADA and won’t fight without it should be a red flag.

I agree.

Wilder is technically atrocious and has awful defence

Joshua is the same height as him, has the same reach as him and throws hard power shots straight down the middle.

Wilder has a punchers chance, but that's about it.

Yeah they want more money than their market value, thats not a surpise. Haven't see anyone talk about VADA apart from Whyte and thats not a red flag.

Vada was part of the talks with wilder originally. Vada vs whatever the one in the U.K. is. (I want to say UKIP but I think that’s one of your political parties? Regardless,Not important)

What’s Fuey’s market value? What’s Wilder’s market value? Before Wilder just asked for a percentage and was offered a ten mil flat fee. Is that his market value? Obviously now any offer made is just for the media since he’s rematching Fury, but if everyone is saying that Hearn is lowballing...maybe Hearn is lowballing. I’ve been one of the most vocal saying Whyte has been carefully manufactured to his ranking, but if he’s been making more money already fighting, then he’s being offered less than his market value.

Lol, because you don't know what your watching.

When Wilder has you ****ed, all hell breaks lose, but that's not the whole fight. Pay attention before that though.

Monster straight right hand, but he's developed a really good control jab that he uses a bunch of ways, a really good lead hook he can use well, he moves in and out of positions alright, and he's effective when he has to fight on the inside.

He's never going to be Joe Louis, but you're blind if you haven't seen any improvement from when he won his bronze medal as a novice.
