    I was being kind to the overrated chinny gutless pumped up weightlifter. You put Kabayel ahead of morbidly obese Andy?

    @Mitch87 where does Kabayel rank in Joshua's best wins?

    "You put Kabayel ahead of morbidly obese Andy?"

    Not ahead of the version of Andy that bounced Josh up and down off the canvas and made him quit but ahead of the 284 lbs blob who didn't train and ate every snickers and mars bar in California? Probably. A prime Kabayel would box circles around that version of Ruiz. If the Kurd comes to win Josh could be in trouble.

    I think @Mitch87 is currently in hiding.

    Just for entertainment value, I'd take AJ v Miller in August. See if Miller can intimidate him pre fight and then try and put it on him. Better preparation for Wilder than some stiff European opposition.

    Very difficult to get AJ out in August imo.

    DAZN not too happy with the poor viewership from the Franklin fight so not willing to overpay against another can when it will probably do 175,000 again…

    The Saudis have had no conversations with Whyte about a December date. The plan is for Joshua Wilder to be announced before the date Joshua fights Whyte and Wilder fights Ruiz. This will need to be ironed out quickly or otherwise Agit Kabayel will take Whyte's place instead. Rematch clauses are standard practice which Whyte knows - he was lucky he had a rematch clause against Povetkin!

    Whyte had a ridiculous alphabet interim title (and mandatory position) to defend - what's the point of a rematch with AJ? Mandatory position for the Saudi pay day?

    3-1 to Fury on top level wins. Both have Klitschko but Fury has Wilder x2.

    Nobody else Joshua has beaten was top level.

    Wilder is not better than Povetkin.

    He isn’t skills wise, but sad to say his power does make him elite in this crappy era and at least Wilder had a proper belt (tarnished by him holding it I might add!), Povetkin had the WBA regular POS which has and will always have zero prestige and mean nothing.

    Wins make the fighter not the belt. Ali Fraizer 2 had no belt on the line. Likewise Joshua's win over Charles Martin means nothing in the great scheme of things despite winning a belt.

    Went the duration of a football match with a fat cokehead and still couldn't do the job. He also seems to, bizarrely, have become elite. Despite not beating anyone of note ever, and being 1-3 in his last 4. And two of those losses were by vicious knockout.

    A case could be made for Wilder having a better cv than someone like Chagaev. Although even that would be a tight call. wins over John Ruiz and Valuev probably beats Wilder's 2 best. Wilder may overrall have beaten more worthy foes though.

    Completely agree bud, however Wilder did defend the green and gold 10 times (against mainly tomato cans sad to say).

    Personally I would rate Wilder higher, but it’s all about opinions :).
