    In the U.K. right? You're programmed to think that way.

    Well, as everybody around here knows, I am a huge, huge Wilder fan.

    I just can't stop talking about this guy, and I loved his fight against Zelenoff. Unfortunately I have to face the facts and admit that Joshua destroys him and takes him to the cleaners brutally.

    OK, the non-troll post.

    Joshua has straighter punches, he's not afraid to mix it up and more importantly, he's got a good fighting brain and reflexes. He 'nearly' got his head taken off by Wlad over and over, except for that he slipped the bombs at the last moment like a cat.

    Wilder's got the dimensions to trouble Joshua, but he's looked so darn hittable that any sort of footwork and jab kind of fight is basically a pipedream. He COULD beat AJ on that sort of strategy, conceding the early rounds while sticking and moving and then pouring it on mid rounds. It's possible. But nothing he's really shown thus far points to this strategy as being possible for him.

    Wilder's got a good gas tank and he carries his power late, whereas Joshua fricking insists on bulking up more and more which is simply stupid in a cardio sport. I could see a smarter Wilder letting AJ blow his wad and then lighting him up mid-to-late.

    In theory. In reality ... not so much.

    Frankly I think that Joshua gets to him early and probably finishes him early.

    Good Lord.. The IQ level on this board is plummeting.

    Now we got a dude comparing WK to Stiverne.

    Manny Pac has been stopped 3 times. Chris Algieri only once. LOL

    It was a cold night behind Lidl & I bumped into Frank Bruno.. He said u no what I mean Harry!

    I'd worry less about another's thought processes & more about your own because I'm sensing you have deep psychological abandonment issues & a series of poor life choices. Case in point:

    Macy's+Your mom+His big hands!

    The difference between them is Wilder is all mouth and AJ isn't, Wilder knocked out the worst title challenger in the history of boxing and thinks he deserves a 50/50 split.

    Based on what? Wilder knocking out a bunch of stiffs that pretty much anybody could KO? Unlike Joshua, he's never stepped up to face, let alone KO, the elite of the division.

    Joshua isn't stiff, he fights in high guard as any heavyweight with a half a brain should. Especially for the early rounds. Deontay fights with his hands at his waist and it's easy to look fluid when your guard is low. I am a fan of both fighters tbh. I think Wilder has the best jab in the division with Parker's jab being second. I think Wilder has a lot of power. AJ on the otherhand is eloquent, appears to be intelligent and is very good technically while still maintaining power.

    But don't let AJs high guard fool you

    Wlad can go down as whatever, the fact is that he was knocked out more times than Stiverne so stopping him was no big feat when you really look at it. Then again, he didn't get knocked completely out like Stiverne did which only bears witness to the power of Wilder.

    Fact is that you gents act like knocking Klitschko out was a rare feat when actually it wasn't. I am comparing chins and power and again, Stiverne has the better chin and Wilder has the better power.

    Why do you think Stiverne is a better heavyweight than Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Wlad and Vitali Klitschko?

    All I am saying is that Stiverne has a better chin than Wlad and Wilder has better power than Joshua.

    That isn't "All you were saying".

    You also claimed that Stiverned had a better chin than Tyson, Lewis and Vitali.

    Could you explain that please?
