Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn: Wilder is Not Very Good, Easiest Fight For Joshua

[Noelanthony]

Lies Barry,

The man has a Bronze medal... it’s some technical ability there!!

So what. Joshua got gold and he is a robot as you all say. Mayweather got bronze but deserved better. Basically what I’m saying is if you are 6ft 7 and an amateur fighting 3 rounds you have a chance in doing well as an amateur. Look at David Price, Joe Joyce.

That was 12 years ago can you tell me how Wilder has improved technically because he fights like 2 gay guys with Hammers in both hands

Yeah, I actually believe wilder when he said he was intimidated on the large scale, first round he came out jabbing and throwing to the body, but it seemed like the first boo and he was swinging and head hunting. He needs to fight way smarter if he expects to win.

Yeah I think he just needs to increase his work rate and not head hunt, Fury must have exploitable fitness disadvantges caused by the drug and obesity that Wilder has not gone through, surely he isn't unscathed from that at all.

Also it's not like Fury can fight much better unless he decides to sit on his punches more and try for the KO but that's not his style at that level.

All the opportunity for improvement seems to favour Wilder.

Fury hits harder than he gets credit for. He’s till 260lbs. He isn’t Wilder/Joshua but he hits hard enough to keep you honest.

And the human body has incredible restoration powers. I was telling everyone that before the first fight. His past won’t make the difference people think it will. I’ve been sober for almost 2 years now, and I’m in almost as good shape as I was 11 years ago when I was boxing. If he was still using and drinking, yes. But he’ll be fine. That said, I’m sure he’s not incredibly strong to his body though lol

I like the idea of Wilder vs Fury 2 and Joshua vs Miller with the winners fighting and the losers fighting each other later this year.

Any offer made after Wilder/Fury has been announced is not a real offer. For the amount you guys keep claiming the $50 was fake, you see no issues with demanding negotiations while you have a fight lined up?

The fight hasn’t been signed; so there’s no contract. So either Wilder or Fury are well within their rights to change tack and fight Joshua.

Besides this; Hearn isn’t going to step down from this percentage offer now, regardless of what happens from here on out because it’d clearly be a PR disaster of epic proportions.

My point is, saying that Hearn/AJ aren’t offering a percentage is outdated by a couple of weeks now. You’re a regular poster and clearly intelligent enough to know you shouldn’t make arguments off the back of outdated information. I don’t see you as one of those fanboys who post drivel without any sense of judgement. Maintain your standards.

Joshua doesn't move his head off the line consistently enough, and his sheer musculature will always leave him needing to catch that wind in the middle of the fight to give his conditioning a chance to take over

If you honestly think that Wilder won't be able to land on Joshua, you're a fool.

He actually moves his head more than Wilder believe it or not. There is no denying Joshua defensively is not Mayweather. He has been caught cleanly especially in the last 5 fights by every opponent he has fought so if Wilders catches him, I get that argument. However, Wilder has been hit by every bum he has fought. The only fighter that had somewhat measurable power to Joshua was Ortiz and had him out on his feet. He doesn’t throw nearly as much combos as AJ too. Look at Wilder when he gets hit he is as stiff and bamboozled as anyone. If we are talking how to handle adversity Wilder doesn’t have a clue. Doesn’t know how to hold on parry punches. Though if Wilder does catch AJ cleanly on the Whiskers it’s nighty night

joshua has done absolutely nothing to earn a fight vs the alabama jackass

I have maintained my standards. Any offer made after Wilder and Fury announced negotiations for their first fight is not a real offer. Everyone knew the first fight was happening (regardless of Eddie denying it to the media) and everyone knows that the rematch is happening, regardless of how often Someone at Matchroom says that Fury and Wilder are scared and ignoring them.

I don’t disagree with some of what you say, but actually AJ is very good at moving his head off the line, he is not always as good moving his feet laterally instead of in straight lines and that’s how he often gets caught with straight shots.
