Breazeale is better than you give him credit for.

    No one is picking Breazeale in the fight with Joshua.
    I think people are severely underestimating him and perhaps overestimating Joshua.
    Joshua is not Tyson, Joshua isn't even Lewis...
    I think Johua is more Wlad Klit than any other figher, just a bit better.
    I like Joshua but I am not a believer yet.
    Whyte is terrible and he was able to hurt Joshua.
    Breazeale is much better than Whyte.

    How will the fight go.... none of us know enough about either fighter to make a real call.
    I think the fight will end in 3 rounds for Joshua, but I do think there is a great potential for upset because not much is really known about Breazeale.

    What I do know is he has a huge heart, and loads of determination, a lot of times that doesn't mean much but in this case, I think it does.
    He has the size and power to give Joshua problems no other fighter before him has. I do have my suspicions about Joshua's chin, but what Joshua does best is punch, he has a great deal of power and throws his punches perfectly much like Klit. But like Klit I think his jaw is bit on the weak side.

    I can't help but feel there may be an upset in store.

    I think the best we can hope for is that Breazeale really is tough and determined and can soak up the punishment early on and last a few rounds, maybe last long enough to test Joshua's stamina and make a fight of it.
    Because Breazeale really hasn't got much in terms of skills, speed and defense. So he needs to be tough and durable to make this a contest.

    It's a long shot, but Purrity beat Wlad on toughness and durability.

    He probably is because my opinion of him couldn't possibly get lower.

    He probably won't get destroyed as bad a Martin however.

    Yep this. Other than stamina and being bigger I can't see what Breazeale does better than Whyte and I don't even rate Whyte at all.

    Breazeale is slower, has no jab whatsoever, a plodder, squares up too much and is too easy to hit. Whyte would jab his head off and have no problem landing on Breazeale who would go right at him, give up his height and reach and just slug it out.

    If Breazeale beats Whyte it would be like the Mansour fight. He'd get his ass handed to him early but turns it around when Whyte gasses.

    And the fight against Mansour.
    Mansour was far ahead on points, when he quit with the injury.

    For someone who claims to be a "boxing genius" you make routinely idiotic posts. You have claimed that Breazeale is better than given credit, and offered no evidence, instead, going on a brick stupid diatribe about how Joshua is worse.

    If you watched Breazeale's effort against Mansour, you would see that for a man who is so big, he doesn't use his jab nearly enough. Also, he has a questionable chin, and doesn't punch his weight.

    Joshua will murder him.

    Wilder vs Arreola makes this fight look like the heavyweight bout of the decade.

    Fk off, both of them struggled to beat Kassi. But at least Arreola has the experience and might actually train if he's fighting a guy like wilder.

    lol sorry dude that's the truth. Eric Molina was one of the worst title challengers of all time but Wilder set a new low with Arreola. I wouldn't be surprised if he fought Odlanier Solis next.

    The thing I'm impressed with is that he somehow managed to stay undefeated while his last 2 opponents were clearly better as him... that's quite a feat :yep
