    Simple question.

    Explain why you chose who.

    I chose Joshua, b/c at 7-0 he was fighting a guy most other fighters don't touch inside their first 20 fights. A fighter who has upset the apple cart a time or two, and gives and is a tough out for most top 50s.:think

    I like Deontay but big Josh would turn his lights out

    Next month he's scheduled to fight a genuine top 50 fighter who has been lingering around as a fringe contender since the mid 2000's.

    Bahtov is a tough out for anyone, and many in the top 20 would be troubled by him.

    For a while I was high on Malik Scott b/c he has such a fluid offense and great jab and counterpunching ability, but after consecutive quittages vs DelBoy and Wilder, his stock has fallen sharply off in my book.

    It will take a 8-2 schooling over Leapei for him to regain my respect as a contender, but he'll more than likely fold just as soon as Leapei closes the distance and lands a couple thudding shots.

    Bahtov, while thoroughly beaten by some top dogs, has maintained a consistent level thru his career. He can't crack the top 30, but he's almost on everyones top 50 list. IMO......a win over Bahtov<<<<win over Scott.

    Im hoping Joshua shows his full game against Bahtov, goes a few rds, 7-9, and is tested some.

    If he can handle 7-8 rds with Bahtov, his handlers should move him directly into position for a shot at a European title or an ABC International type title fight vs someone like Solis, Thompson, or Pala.
    A win over one of those type fighters, combined with his earlier successes should cement him clearly into the top 15, and give us an idea if he is gonna be the genuine article like Lewis, the K2, etc.:think

    Wilder would knock Joshua out clean with 1 right hand.

    Yeah, cuz Airrich cracked him good a few different times and he was put straight to sleep.:huh:huh:huh

    Wilder has a punchers chance against KING FREAKING KONG, but he's TIMID as a alter boy surrounded by hungry priests.

    It's his handlers fault for not challenging him earlier in his career. Once he gets hit back, you already know it's lights out.

    Joshua OTOH, is showing very similar power against much more credible LOC, especially considering # of fights.

    FTR......IF......and I truly mean IF.....Wilder gets his mitts on that WBC title.....he'll lose it in his first defense to a 45 yo politician.:lol::lol:

    The current WBC Champion Emeritus.:deal:deal

    45 yo Vitali KO1 Wilder. And STILL WBC HWCotW.....Dr EisenfauB.......:D

    Deontay Wilder has been very protected, they've avoided the tougher journeymen.

    I think Wilder would get knocked out by Charr let alone Stiverne.

    Haymon pulled Petra Quittin out of the fight to protect his '0'. Will he do the same with Wilder or are they ready to cash him out?!

    Joshua has a full arsenal offensively. The skills that are apparent against his current opposition look world class. We will find out more over the next several months.
