AJ reacts to Wilder fighting Breazeale

The fact hes laughing at his 5th best win while at fight 17th facing Wilder is the point when he could have fought Joshua instead,how do you NOT get this ?


A laughable opponent of Joshua like Molina still made Wilder do the shakes, we ALL know by now you don't compare to what Joshua does to that of others because he's very skilled and Wilder is not. He CANNOT make fights look as easy as Joshua and you will see in the Breazeale fight what the actual difference is.

At this stage a miller win for wilder Would look better because it is not a guy already defeated by Joshua who has defeated most top 10 guys in the WBC ,NOT Wilder . lol

I think Breazele has the matching style to win over Wilder, Breazeale style doesn't enable him to ever beat AJ unless he entered the ring drunk .

Miller would cause many problems for wilder but he would lose because he doesn't possess the over top punches and heavy hands of Breazeale who holds a far more threat to Wilder.

Miller holds a more of threat to Joshua then Breazeale but its still a farce of any upset.

Breazeale will be Wilders SECOND best win Should he get by him. That's the funny part ,when Wilder continues to troll Joshua's resume about taking easy guys but like himself ....his fans cant take it when it's turned on him.

 

I think Brazeale would beat Whyte.

 

Does seem odd that Wilder fans dismiss Whyte as a legit opposition for AJ and go with the argument 'no one wants to see that fight and he's already beaten him once'. Yet they're happy to watch Wilder fight Breazeale, someone Joshua has already beaten easily in his 17th fight.

Since the AJ loss 3 and half years ago, Whyte has won 9 fights including victories over:
2 x Chisora (former World Title challenger and European champion) - including an explosive knockout (only ko'd twice in career)
Parker (former WBO Heavyweight world champion)
Helenius (former European Champion)
Lucas Browne (former WBA Heavyweight world champion) - by explosive knockout

Dominic Breazeale on the other hand, since losing to AJ has fought 3 times in 3 years, with victories over:
Carlos Negron (Amateur bronze medallist at 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games)
Eric Molina (two time world title challenger)
Izuagbe Ugonoh

The difference between AJ fighting Miller and Wilder fighting Breazeale is that there is still an unknown regarding Miller (an undefeated lump of a fighter with a high KO%, fighting in his home arena). Whereas Breazeale has shown nothing since AJ defeated him easily to show he has progressed or will offer anything of a challenge to Wilder. Joshua also has an agenda - coming to the US to build his profile by stopping the USA ranked no2 heavyweight to build the Wilder fight. What is Wilders justification for fighting Breazeale? He hasn't defeated Whyte yet to earn his shot.

 

He has been fairly inactive over the last 3 and half years only having 3 fights and none of these have been particularly noteworthy victories. Had Breazeale beaten Whyte in the eliminator then you can justify this more, but I think to select Breazeale as a voluntary, bypassing the WBC order to give him a straight shot is poor. If he wasn't going down the Fury fight route, would have liked to see him wait to give Pulev a shot or given Miller a shot himself.

 

I forgot you were so emotionally in-tune with your idol and know what he's thinking.... he probably tells you this in the imaginary texts you get from him....

 

I mean there's nothing you've written I disagree with.

DB, although not as bad as some seem to think, is hardly an inspiring opponent. Very much a B-level (at best) fighter. And he remains AJ's 5th best win, and that was my original observation. It's fine for Joshua to mock him as an opponent for Wilder but that's a slight on his own resume too, and on the division as a whole. Until the likes of Uysk, Joyce (maybe) and Hrgovic join the mix, it's a pretty lame division outside the top three. And AJ mocks Wilder, so if we take his PoV, it's a top two.

Oh yeah, and he's fighting Miller. Pot. Kettle. Black....

 

It's just a depressingly weak and lacking in depth division. We shouldn't be in a case where we are getting a world champion fighting a top 10 undefeated fighter with 20KO's from 24 fights and being disappointed, but the fact a fighter like Miller is getting near the top 10 is evidence for the above. In Britain we are talking about a Daniel Dubois vs Nathan Gorman fight as an indicator for who our next big thing and potential world champion will be. Sad times!

 

Wilder is fighting Breazelle by default, everybody knows who is supposed to be fighting. Actually, Breazelle is not a bad fight. He has improved quite a bit since his fight with Joshua and he comes to fight. Plus he is the mandatory.

 

Yeah, I think people are underrating Breazeale, circa 2019. And he is the mandatory, as you say. AJ better hope Wilder deals with him, or the guy he laughed at will be his unification opponent.

 

Based on what evidence exactly!? 3 fights in 3 years and none of which with a performance that made you take notice.

He was dropped by Ugonoh (ranked not in top 50). Comeback fight after Joshua loss but this shouldn't have been giving him a top ranking !
Carlos Negron - Is he even a top 100 HW? Breazeale won after 9 rds of this 10 rounder keep busy fight.
So that leaves Molina... 8 rounds and retired against somebody who again, isn't top 50 and has been defeated by Chris Arreola, .

Breazeale's record suggests he's a somewhere between top 20-30 HW currently

 

One of the very few times I agree with you. People shitting on this fight but who else is he going to fight, Fury signed with ESPN and wants and his handlers want an interim fight, Joshua is now set to fight Miller which is a mismatch. This mandatory is over due and Breazeale has indeed in improved since the Joshua fight. I've wanted Wilder/Breazeale for a while I think DB will test Wilder, not enough to win, but he's no push over.

 

He already has sold that one and it sold better than any Wilder fight ever. Infact it did better numbers than near enough any other pro Boxer in the sport has ever done. And if what you say happened then he would be selling it with so much more at stake next time. No problem. Thats what being a PPV star means. A PPV player can only go to PPV with the right opposition, a PPV star is just on PPV what ever.

 

You can break it down any way you want too but the fact is that he is not a bad fighter and it will an interesting fight for Wilder and at this point also Joshua. Just because a fighter gets beat once doesn't mean he sucks or he will lose the next fight to the same fighter.

 

Wilder Breazeale is an okay fight in my book. Breazeale is a top 10 opponent and on a similar level to Miller, so no issue there provided Wilder and Joshua (assuming they both win) fight each other next.

 

I can see the tag line now..... Joshua vs Breazeale: 'He who laughs last, laughs longest'
