If he KO's Stiverne in any style then he maybe has a valid claim. Joshua's #1 spot is somewhat tarnished for me.
Why? Because of one average performance? A performance where he won every round and dropped his opponent, Joshua never in any trouble whatsoever. So let's forget all that went before it? Well if that's the case then how is KO'ing a shot Stiverne any sort of claim? Surely if you're only as good as your last performance then Wilder is a constant joke.
I didn't say he was, I said he had a valid claim if he demolishes Stiverne shot or not. Joshua laboured against a fringe stand in who I gave 2 rounds to and was lucky to survive vs a shot to bits Wladimir. Prior to that he has feasted on cans, bums and window cleaners.
Bums and window cleaners? You just described Wilder 38 fight career. Joshua has had 20 fights, already achieved more than Wilder, has a far better resume than Wilder and Wilder is treading water STILL having rematches with the likes of Stiverne. They are not even comparable in terms of achievements and resume. Joshua may well have been lucky surviving Klitschko but Wilder was lucky to survive Eric Molina.. I don't know who is more delusional, Wilder or his fanboys.
I'm not a Wilder fan ffs. I'm just realistic about Joshua - a Bruno 2.0 - who also made a nice career out of bin men and window cleaners.
Wilder is a total fraud! Wilder only fights winos from the alley! Wilder has never fought a legit fighter period. Whyte would knock Wilder out, Takam would knock him out! Wilder is afraid of anyone who can fight! Wilder can't fight, he is protected fighter!
The sad thing is Wilder hasn't made a lot of money fighting bin men and window cleaners. Would you agree Takam is still a better win than anything Wilder has done? Let's look at a common opponent, Eric Molina, those fights show just how far apart they are in my opinion.. June 2015 and that was Wilders 34th pro fight and he wasn't far away from being knocked out. December 2016 and that was Joshua 18th pro fight and it was completely one sided. I wasn't happy with Joshua Saturday, I don't think he jabbed enough, was wild at times, looked off, and the stoppage was very poor but it happens, but good fighters win when they are not at their best, they find a way and Joshua didn't just win, he dominated. And the general disappointment should tell you just how highly people rate Joshua, what we expect of him. Wilder fans will be sitting in front on their TV's Saturday, fingers crossed because firstly they won't be there because Wilder couldn't draw curtains and secondly they know deep down one solid dig and Wilders chin will be in pieces.
If he demolishing a guy who hasn't fought in 2 years and a guy Wilder already beats, it means absolutely nothing. It will be an embarrassment if he didn't demolish him. This is a sparring session. A meaningless fight unless Wilder gets his ass starched.
Wilder's a fighter that skill-wise is poor but has a big punch and good athleticism. That's enough to be the 4th best fighter in the division but nothing more.
