    Defeating any Wlad is more impressive than any Willard you utter mongo

    Joshua is vulnerable to smaller guys with power who can get inside. He doesn’t use his height the way Lennox and the Klitschkos did. Dempsey would at least have a good shot, especially if AJ gasses...not sure how many rounds we’re talking here. I would say it’s a 50/50 fight for prime Dempsey vs current AJ.

    Obviously, Wilder could win.

    But if I had to bet, I would bet Dempsey.

    I thought you were talking about AJ.
    I favor Dempsey over AJ.

    I don't think we've seen enough of AJ yet but you might be correct.

    I guess I could understand that you think Willard was fat although I don't agree.

    Where did you get the impression that Willard was stiff and slow? People from his own time seemed to think otherwise and the film supports their opinions.

    You're a damn coward. You don't have the balls to back up your claims that you can show people up in the training section (even though you said you would post a video) and now you are so small that you have to attack my father?

    Your life TRULY is pathetic. You're a 40+ year old GROWN ASS MAN talking crap about someone's father on the internet. What's next, you're rubber and I'm glue?
