He must live on kebabs and cheesburgers to get into that great shape. When he comes back he'll have " 2 warm up fights to get some fat off then the big 'un" said also he "needs to get 8 stone off" This content is protected
What a waste of talent. He could have been the best big man in the division because he can box and has size. If the same guy shows up against Joshua that showed up against Klitschko, he outboxes Joshua. Against Wilder though? I don't know. Wilder has the highest potential out of all the heavyweights, and is easily the hardest puncher. Now though, with Fury's lack of discipline, Wilder probably knocks him out. Wilder is a mean dude. The fact is, if you know you are the hardest puncher in the sport, you have something that other people just don't have. You don't have to talk. You have guns for your hands. Talk isn't necessary.
Would have to disagree re: Wilder until he steps in with some competition. AJ has taken out Wlad in half the fights Wilder has had. Wilder has also shown little improvement in terms of boxing skills - AJ has far more solid fundamentals.
AJ does have skills, but a lot of what he does in the ring is due to his size and strength. He is like a less stiff version of Wlad at this point. They are practically replicas of eachother, but of course, AJ is younger so he has more fluidity. I think Wilder will prove to be a bad style match up for AJ...IF they fight.
What are you on? Wilder is the worst current champion and if the WBC weren't corrupt that belt would belong to Povetkin or Ortiz... Instead we have 5 voluntary defences and Stirverne as a mandatory...
An uncoordinated windmiller is a bad style match up for a powerful puncher with excellent timing and combinations....? Are you Deontay Wilder? How's the Bong Squad doing?
The Tyson Fury that turned up against Wlad could outbox both AJ and Wilder imo. The current Tyson Fury I think would be stopped by both of them. Until Wilder steps up we don't really know how far Wilder can go. No question he's got power which makes him dangerous, but can he land that big shot against elite level fighters who will be hitting him back with some big shots of their own?
Joshua is stiff as hell, but he can box. I just want to see the fight. He fought Martin and Brazeale. Why not Wilder right? I mean 41 year old Wlad came to the U.K.
Honestly I don't see much of a difference, him wearing a nice shirt might have created the illusion of him being slimmer but I can't see a big difference in his weight. 8 stone is a huge amount of weight to lose, that's 112lbs for Americans who don't use stone. I would of hoped he'd be under 350lbs by now but whatever he's been doing these past 2 months since he's been back in training it doesn't seem to be working. Looking at his current state and lack of noticeable progress I doubt we'll see him fight in 2017.
I don't think this guy wants to compete any longer. Well, maybe in a cheeseburger eating contest but not in a boxing match.
