Anthony Joshua is an overrated puncher

Who thinks he has extraordinary power like Wlad or especially Wilder though? He hits really hard but Wilder obviously hits much harder. With his right, anyway.

 

What becomes more and more apparent everyday is the amount of armchair boxing experts on here who have never walked into a gym let alone have ever been punched by a trained fighter in their life.

 

Joshua would put any of these armchair boxing experts in a coma if he ever punched them in the face.

 

To be fair Wladimir has always got up from knockdown think all his losses were TKO's. AJ can bang but he's overrated on the whole.

 

Agree overall, but Ruiz went down only once, not several times against AJ. Still and accomplishment considering Ruiz has an excellent chin.

I don't think AJ is overrated puncher at all, he certainly doesn't hit as hard as prime Wlad but very few do.

 

True, but he still shat himself whenever Pulev tried to let his hands go. It's like he'd hotwired himself to immediate clinch whenever he saw Pulev's shoulders twitch.

 

Joshua most definitely has 'notable' power. He had Klitschko down thrice, - the first time Wladimir had touched the canvas in over ten years - Whyte & Ruiz Jr down for the first time in their careers, and stopped Povetkin for the first (and only, 3 years on) time in his career. Sure, he doesn't have that devastating one-punch knockout power, but what he does best is break down his opponent with solid shot selection before finishing the show in dramatic fashion.

 

Thank you Kirk. The reasoning some come up with to try and make a point just gets so out of hand.

Pac stopped Cotto when Shane could not, therefore Pac hits harder. But Shane stopped Margarito when Pac could not, therefore Shane hits harder. And since Pernell scored a KD on Oscar while Shane could not, Sweet Pea hits harder than Shane now.

 

He should be paying Wlad royalties for his last two fights, true.

 

Hungry lions?

Parker was more like a well-fed house cat in their bout. He had about as much desire to win as I have of slipping into cardiac arrest.

In the rematch, Ruiz' only hunger was for the curry and ice cream he was going to be gorging on afterward.

 

The best fighter Wilder has actually laid out cold is Artur Szpilka, an EXTREMELY chinny cruiserweight, after ten rounds and that says a lot, how can we talk about overrated power and keep pushing the narrative that Wilder is this monster hitter? Breazeale got back up before ten, Ortiz got back up before ten, Fury got back up before ten and he was in a terrible state in that fight. Jesus even David Price managed to knock Auldley out cold in the first round, Wilder swarmed him and scared him, Audley was stopped standing

 

Nail on the head, his opposition has been utterly woeful, if he had even managed to poleaxe some durable journeymen then that would be something but he fought fat chinny club fighters on the way up and even then struggled with them

 

Don't forget Wilder landed about 100 flush punches on Johann Duhaupas and couldn't drop him, Povetkin knocked him out cold with one punch and Tony Yoka just stopped him in a round
