    Joshua's opposition so far has been a joke. He is perhaps the most coddled fighter in the world today.

    If the shreds of glass from Wilder's chin fly all over the spectators then probably yes.

    Then why would he try and fight Klitschko in only his 18th fight if he was so coddled. And why would he be fighting him in his 19th?

    You decided you didn't like Joshua before he debuted. Not one thing he can do in his career will make you change your mind. He could become the consensus GOAT and to you he will always be a coddled hype job.

    I'm in the UK and have followed Joshua since the Olympics.

    He has been "coddled" but he is still a novice of 16 or so fights. He is improving with each fight - there are questions about his movement and also his ability to take a punch. But I do think he fought the guy that Luis Ortiz fought, he would have got him out of there. He seems to punch through defences as opposed to the traditional make a opening and then punch.

    I have never seen Wilder fight but his career seems to be similar to Joshua's. It would make a good fight.

    For reference, I also think Joshua beats Fury but loses to Klitschko.

    Hey Stupid, did Calzaghe not win a close decision against an American legend here in the state?

    I do understand some of the outrage as most of us felt that a narrow Kovalev win or a draw was the better decision, however I had to LOL at "waaahmbulance"!

    I have been keenly following both their careers for a number of years. Being from the UK and at the time we didn't have any UK heavyweight champs (before Haye).

    I have always thought that Tyson whilst big, and quick just wouldn't be able to take a solid punch. He's been on the floor a number of times with punches that didn't seem too heavy. What he would do against Joshua's punch which would at one point get through? Also Joshua is decent defensively, good jab and boxing skills.

    I think Klitshcko would do better against orthodox fighters and Joshua is very orthodox. I think WK would out-jab Joshua and I can see him taking a solid punch if one was to sneak through.

    I think the opposite. Fury's size and movement will give Joshua problems. Joshua will definitely have a punchers chance and won't be as passive as Wlad as he is more aggressive and can counter unlike Wlad, but it's a tough style match up for Joshua who I think struggles with movement as shown in his Olympic fights with Savon and Dychko.

    I think Joshua could beat Wlad now. Wlad's jab is gone he isn't out jabbing Joshua who I don't even think has that good a jab it's just Wlad's jab is not what it was. Look at his recent jabbing performances, out jabbed by Fury, couldn't get it going at all against Jennings and out jabbed by Pulev. Wlad had the finest jab in the division but it's now just this pawing thing he throws out with no commitment.

    There's no US heavyweight who could go more than a few rounds with Great Britain's Anthony Joahua, so I wouldn't worry.
