Ali was much better than Wilder on the heavy bag.

Yet Dubois still KO'd AJ in sparring.

I've seen a lot of videos of Eubank Jr looking far better than Groves in training. Maybe you should watch a bit more boxing and a bit less training.

 

Wilder isn't known for his boxing skills, they are actually very poor. We aren't not seeing a Joshua vs Wilder fight due to Wilder's boxing skills. He simply doesn't have good skills. We aren't seeing that fight due to Wilder having very good power. I suspect a fighter like Tyson Fury will back himself in to beat Wilder, knowing Wilder doesn't have great skills - all Fury has to worry about is the one punch KO. Fury won't be in range for that. Joshua would be in range that is why we see Wilder getting overlooked. It is as simple as that, but to compare Ali on a heavy bag vs Wilder is pointless.

 

Ali was much better than Wilder [Insert Here]

 

In all honesty Ali is better than most pro's to ever laceup gloves. Ali started boxing at 12 and it showed with how polished his footwork and all around boxing skills were. Wilder is an excellent athlete, but started boxing at 21, which is why he isn't that polished. However, now days none of the top heavyweights have very polished skills anyway.

 

This has to be one of the dumbest threads I have seen in a long time. You are comparing arguably the greatest HW, with a guy who started boxing at 21.

 

Yea but how much better was Eubanks JR than Ali on the heavy bag.

 

Ali and his generation of top fighters are light years ahead of modern fighters.

However, Joshua being better trained than Wilder is debatable. Joshua's skills are far from being polished. Joshua's jab and uppercut along with his defense need a lot of work. A lot contenders from the 70's and 80's would've chewed Joshua up and spit him out let alone the champions. If Joshua had even a half decent uppercut he would've disposed of Takam in 2-3 rounds.
