    Yes it's mainly his speed and combinations that make him so dangerous.

    I'm not too sure about his speed tbh. I think it's good for his size but nothing special. I felt old Wlad looked a little faster, or perhaps similar in hand speed. But yes Joshua is a very dangerous opponent for anyone in the division due to multiple attributes that he has.

    High, he's fast for a big guy, good movement and very fast hands that can throw long combinations, it's YouTube videos of him hitting pads and doing bag work that's impressive. On top of that he's a nice guy, so I'll always root for him.

    Being a nice guy in the fight world is not common, it's guys I sparred/trained with that I can't care less for...

    It's the speed he puts his shots together not lightening fast single shot speed.

    Yes he's very dangerous.

    Sounds great. I do rate his ability, offensively for sure. It's great to hear that he's a nice guy as well. Did you find him easy to hit? What's his defence like?

    I wouldn't say easy to hit, he have reach and speed over me so I had to adjust to be able to keep up, it's boxing so you going to get hit. I think he's defense is solid, it's no Winky Wright defense but it's good enough. You're right though, he's defense is more of a strong offense.

    Looks like Allen is actually trying to get himself in decent shape

    Those BIG CUBAN PAWS are no joke. Ortiz isn't always a destroyer like Joshua but he knows how to deliver serious on shot power. Wilder also has murder in that right hand. Joshua throws wicked combos all his punches hurt. And Wlad is also in the convo.

    It's a tough call between all 4 of those. Wilder basically only has the right hand.

    Great to see. Whilst he lacks skill he can definitely achieve more by being in better shape.

    The difference is Joshua puts together combinations so naturally he doesn't load up all his power for one shot whereas Wilder only ever looks for a fully loaded right hand.

    Wilder has only one punch ko'd c level fighters and couldn't put an end to b level Stiverne... So his power is still questionable imo

    Yeah it is, hopefully he can find the willpower to stick with it.
