AJ beats Wilder when he's 41

Murat Gassiev.

 

Joshua beats any version of Wilder ever whatever his age!

 

You're really going off the deep end lately.

Ruiz greater than AJ? That's an AdamT/MarkusFlorez level of post. Might even be approaching Redbeard territory. Good going.

 

I've pointed this out to him numerous times before, as if it wasn't obvious to begin with, but he keeps running with this narrative.

He's a complete clown at this point. Not worth debating seriously.

 

TKO > a jab and run points win. I didn't say Ruiz was overall "greater" than AJ, but his performance against him was.

 

A complete clown for pointing out that AJ is essentially coasting?

Not worth debating, but here you are. I'm sure you'll be lapping up his next fight against an old Fury opponent... Wonder if they'll drag out Cunningham.

 

Whilst Franklin, helenious and wallin aren’t great it’s worth noting that these rebuilding fights came in the space of 14 months which is a similar timescale in which Parker took on the likes of Massey, Opelu and Kean after being flattened by Slow Joyce. I presume you were equally critical of Parker for taking his rebuilding fights as well?

As for Ngannou he would be an idiot not to take that fight. £30-40m for a sparring session against a heavy bag on legs. Easy money for a prizefighter, nobody would turn down that money for that standard of opponent.

 

Yep, that's it.

Gassiev has beat nobody at hw his success at cruiser didn't translate to success against the higher level probably due to injuries, his resume is crap.

Wallin got a gift decision against Sokolowski he could never cut it.

 

Because Hrgovic is totally not hyped to hell and has definitely beaten more than one fighter in the top 50 or so.

Oh wait.

It's fine to point out that Joshua's overhyped (because it's a crap era) and the Ngannou win was the formality that it should've been (and that it should've been for Fury, too) - but look at resumes as a whole and AJ has actually accomplished plenty, whilst Hrgovic has only one noteworthy win (an old, overhyped Chinaman who is, literally, 2-2-1 with fighters ranked inside the top 200).

 

Wilder was just as useless at 31 as he is now.

Fury used his uselessness to boost his own comeback hype.

Both dossers who AJ would iron out at 21 31 or 41

 

Yes I was. I wanted Parker straight into someone like Whyte instead of the punching bags he ended up sparring with. I'm not a hypocrite.

I don't care how much he gets paid. I'm a boxing fan I want to see good fights.

 

exactly, a bunch of hypocrites this forum everyone including Tyson Fury needs to be criticized for taking on low level opponents but for some reason aj gets a pass it's ridiculous they're going down the rabbit hole defending aj fighting crap opposition.

 

Which is a shame I had high hopes for Wallin after his bout with Fury he showed a lot of promise.

 

This is the great irony here.... Wallin became crap because Joshua dealt with him so easily - but plenty fancied him to beat Joshua because he gave Fury problems.

Markus is sort of right, for a change, about hypocrisy - it's ridiculous how much more grief Joshua gets than Fury for fighting the same guys... Presumably because he beat them so much more easily.

But then are we giving Parker less credit for beating Wilder because he beat him so dominantly?

It's a nonsensical double standard.


I don't want to have to defend Joshua, the blokes a bellend, but this thread is bloody ridiculous.

 

It's more because Wallin hasn't really beaten anyone of note since losing to Fury. AJ beating him only reinforces that, but full credit for knocking him out the way he did.

AJ headlining two events where the co-main is better is the problem here. If he wants to fight lesser opposition that's his choice, but that doesn't mean I have to like it or pretend he's amazing for doing so.
