Did you Yanks just watch AJ destroy Bakhtov? Yet you rate Wilder?

    Don't be stupid!

    Joshua gas been immensely impressive, far more so than Wlad or Lennox were after 9 fights and while he looks awesome he's at the very beginning of his pro career.

    That said Wlad will avoid him like the plague because Joshua matches him for size, speed, power, athleticism and conditioning and only lags behind on experience.

    I'm not saying Joshua would beat him, maybe he would, but either way he's far too dangerous for the ultra cautious Wladimir Klitschko.

    No yours is. See that was a great comeback
     
  3. It’s easy to forget, but Price was getting this same hype before running into Thompson. I think Joshua is more of the goods, but want him chin checked.

    It's equally easy to forget that Lennox Lewis was written off by US fans and so called experts until he'd fought about 20 times.

    At this stage Joshua looks more like a Lewis than a Price

    Joshua would have Wlad crawling around the ring on all fours wondering who poisoned his dinner

    I don't rate either, yet.

    They both have looked good thus far. Joshua has looked better from where I sit, but hey, neither have proven anything really.

    The awkward and shady Wilder KO1 of Scott is still the best between them by far and eclipses Joshua's whole career to this point.

    Joshua would not handle that pressure that Wlad makes agaisnt big fighters. Watch round 7 of the fight against Wach. I would worry for Joshua's health if he faces an angry version of Wlad.

    :lol::lol::lol: These yanks are hillarious these days. Big daft wild swinging Deontay and that Chris Arreola guy. Don't forget about that big dumplin Jonathan Banks AKA the next Tyson.

    Tony Thompson is one of the best heavyweights out there, no.1 from the US. I think delusional Brits didn't forget what he did to the last guy you hyped .. twice. :rofl

    Why are Brits so one-track minded? Most of the biggest critics of Wilder on this board are Americans such as myself, and Zakman..

    Joshua I think will have the better career but at this moment in time wilder could well be a very dangerous opponent for Joshua . Wilder throws wild long and sometimes wide punches which at this stage could be hard for Joshua to negotiate

    No.

    Remember, it was Jean-Marc Mormeck that Klitchko's camp and fans kept saying was the "Little Tyson."
