Corrie "The Sniper" Sanders vs Anthony "AJ" Joshua

20% chance for Sanders to blast out AJ in the first 3 rounds. He had Vitali on chicken legs and steamrolled Wlad. If Sanders doesn't manage the KO win in the first couple minutes then AJ takes over and dominates him to a TKO.

 

Sanders wouldnt get a title shot, he'd get stopped on the way up getting into contention. Like he did in real life.

but supposing he was in his prime gifted a title shot, it would be a soreslugfest with joshie taking him out midrounds.

thats prime corrie, not the shot2shyte retired one who easily killed prime wald in seconds.

 

So you are saying prime Sanders would do much worse against Joshua than 41 year old Wladimir did? Fair point

 

yes np. styles make fights. even prime sanders had a low gas tank.

 

Sanders by KO

Annihilated Wladimir, would have annihilated Vitali if not for his ATG jaw, and would annihilate Joshua

 

why. how, if he couldnt get in position to get a title shot when prime, does the retired shot2shyte version do that?

 

Crushed by Nate Tubbs and Rachman. Would those guys have beaten Joshua?

 

It's all fun to use Corrie to bash Wladimir, has Herol never gets tired of doing, but let's be real for a moment here. The reasons why Sanders annihlated Wlad was because
1. His sneaky and powerful left hand
2. Wlads complete inexperience in dealing with adversity
3. Wladimir's complete lack of respect for anything the old, chubby never-was was bringing to the ring.
I honestly feel that Wladimir was looking at Joshua and thought that perhaps he was looking at a 27 year old version of himself. Wlad knows he looked old and shot the last couple of times out. He also knows that AJ had faced very little adversity so far in his career. It makes sense to me that Wlad thought he could cause self doubt and panic in Joshua, leading to him falling apart. It almost worked, but in the end, we all know the result.
Sanders-Joshua would probably follow a similar track except that I envision it being a faster and shorter fight

 

"AJ" = Worst boxing moniker ever!

I know Golovkin uses his initials but triple G sounds badass. AJ is just lame. Eddie Hearn needs to come up with something a bit more imaginative for his golden goose.

"The TKO Terminator"

"Watford Warlord"

"F.O.G." (father of god)



That's all I got so far, maybe none of these fit but "AJ" has got to go, can anybody think of a better nickname?

 

Dangerous fight for Joshua, but in all honesty it's impossible to be 100% sure who would have won. Both are capable of knocking out the other.

 

Half Nigerian Nightmare part 2

Ant-2TONNE Joshua

Silvergold Assassin

 

Joshua had some stamina related issues. Its unclear who would take over if it went to the later rounds.

 

no old sanders tanked before prime joshua. I suspect you refer to the old sanders who easily killed prime wald in seconds not prime one.

but prime sanders would last longer sure.
