???????? What about it? You should probably take some remedial writing classes. Also, I never said he lacks power. 8.5 is good. His team has pubilcly said so twice. Not only are you incoherent but you don't seem to follow the sport you are posting about. This is pure gibberish. There was no point. You rambled a bunch of **** about Ali's chin. Its called "non-sequitur." Wilder yes. Fury maybe, maybe not. In any event, Fury will outbox him. Please. You are an illiterate idiot, and I will do as I like. You couldn't discredit a fox in a chicken coop. There are better words you could have used there: debunk...disprove... The fact that you call me "hate filled" because I disagree with with you shows me that you are whining little sissy boy as well as barley literate.
Catchwtboxing, excuse me, but you use "argumentum ad hominem". I have to repeat, Joshua has a punch power 10/10. Ustinov, Parker, Takam, Thompson could be 8,5/10...for example... What do you think which active HW deserves 10/10 punch power ? George Foreman is is retired, Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson too... Conan Barbarian does not exist...
10/10 ? 9/10 maybe, but you cannot say 10/10 as there will always be someone stronger, and cleaner hitting than him in the future. That's like saying the winner of the 100m final in the Seoul Olympics was 10/10 Fast. That bloke would be 10meters behind Usain Bolt if they ran side by side. But you cannot call Bolt 10/10, because history shows, things improve.
I mean : 10/10 JUST NOW (neglect the future, please) , only active HW fighters, maybe CW Gassiev - dude is mighty puncher, too...
Capable. Yes. But having the capacity to achieve something, and actually achieving it are two very different things, zop. He is a paper champ in my estimation, as neither his title winning fight or first defence pitted him against anything more than he should be facing as a prospect/contender in making. He will gain legitimacy as a champ when he fights champions and acquits himself well.
I agree, he is still unproven on the top level, but I have to say that I have a very, very strong feeling about his successful future. He has absolutelly everything, maybe his mobility is the only exception. But, with proper training, he can solve that, easily...Some posters (or their hatred) claim that he has a weak chin, but I don't think so. Everone can rewatch Whyte match, and Whyte is (was) very powerful dude, and he landed some hard punches...and, and...nothing...no KO, no KD, nothing... So, AJ is not a "paper champ", just now he is belt holder, but he is capable to become undisputed HW champion of the world...This is my attitude...
I wouldn't favor anyones chances over Joshua outside Wlad.Hughie Fury is a huge mismatch and I don't think I will see this fight if ever.Hughie didn't want Whyte ,hes not going to want Joshua at this point unless hes seeking a big pay day.
I can't help but notice the astonishing amount of posters that would seemingly accept a Fury "boxing" match as a commendable strategy if he were to fight Joshua. Am I the only one that see's a double standard here? When guys like Crawford completely dominate a fighter like Postol he's "running" but if the roles were reversed and Fury pulled the same performance vs Josh it would be an awesome feat. Maybe I'm just being a conspiracy theorist or maybe this thread just exposes the fickle, hypocritical atmosphere of this website.
It would be very interesting to see Joshua against : T. Fury, Wilder, Haye and Ortiz. I wouldn't dare to predict anything. In any case, it would be quite exciting. I think Joshua is much better than Pulev, Parker and H. Fury. Maybe, Parker has a slim chance - no more than 10%....
