    Simple question. Too big, too strong or is there a blueprint?

    Joshua is a poor man's Wlad, flat footed robot. For years Brits were screeming of how robotic wlad is and now they have Jaohua who is flat footed , robotic ,has poor stamina and british grade chin , but they love their robot , although old , shot , 41 year old wlad looked like Ali dancing around Joshua. 35 year old Wlad would have easily jabbed him to death and then finished him.
    I'm not impressed with british robot, his defence is poor and his chin is just british grade , so yes Wilder would have very good chance to KO him . Also he can be simply outboxed.

    No,unless you CAN beat him NOT want to beat him......you have to be better on the FLY with reaction times,i already posted what has to be done and Wlad ALMOST did it.


    Now like a creature you kill that could come back stronger this will be Joshua...a total new blue print has to be made and thats impossible without seeing him again...NOT fighting Wlad.

    Beyond skill and a plan it will also take someone PHYSICALLY capable of defeating him....times running out...:)


    look you guys could say/discredit/pretend all you like what coming at you in 2018...well be prepared bc we just may have an unbeatable as anyone boxer wever ever seen .....


    Of course what do i know?

    41 year old Wlad was one good right hand from finishing him so yes he can be beaten. However I' m not sure there is anyone in the division currently as good as 41 Wlad outside Joshua himself. Would like to see Povetkin and Ortiz give it a go.

    No fighter is unbeatable in the sport of boxing. Enough said.

    Not even the great Rocky Marciano was that superior in his boxing ability, that he couldn't be beaten. Floyd is currently undefeated, IMO is a better boxer than Rocky, but even Floyds not that superior in his boxing ability, that he couldn't be beaten. Both fighters are great undefeated champions but I couldn't tell you that they were unbeatable.

    I've seen guys that I thought that couldn't be beaten like Mike Tyson and Julian Jackson. Before they loss, they were pretty much where Joshua is now - undefeated and seemingly impossible to beat. Tyson was probably to a higher degree, and then one day boom.

    There's always somebody out there that can beat you, in Floyd's case he retired at the right time, because he was no spring chicken, and there would have come a time where his reflexes would have failed him eventually.

    Joshua can be beaten, he was almost knocked out by a 41 years old Vlad. The rematch will be 50/50, could go either way. If Fury gets in top shape, he could beat Jacobs, Wilder would have zero chance...........

    Gil Clancy said it best and I'll always remember his great line- "in boxing, no matter how good you are, there's always someone out there who can lick you".
