Is Anthony Joshua afraid of Deontay Wilder

He`s afraid that if he fights Wilder in the US he might get the chair for committing murder.

 

I don't think Joshua is afraid of Wilder nor is Wilder afraid of Joshua.

 

Wilder's win over Ortiz is probably only bettered by Fury and Joshua's victory over Klitshcko as a stand alone performance in the heavyweight division. He was a tough opponent who bought his A game. If the fight eventually gets made, he'll be facing an even bigger challenge against Joshua, IMO. When you get two boxers that are close to each other in terms of skill and both display fantastic athleticism in different ways, it becomes more of a chess match early on. If Wilder's tactics are to back up early and come on later on in the fight, it could spell a lot of trouble for him. Joshua puts hard combinations together and both men have the power to take the others head off.

I think I just got a bit frustrated with the way that conversation was going. All I really wanted to point out was the difference in work rate between Wilder and Joshua in the first half of the fight and how it should be held in equal vein as Joshua's work rate going into the second half of the fight.

 

It's fair to say Joshua definitely has his hands full with Parker as well. It's worrying to think how these two have been destined to meet for so long and there's still plenty of hurdles to get over for both sides. It's hard to judge how good Parker is until he takes this step up in class against Joshua, but I think even if he loses he'll give an OK showing of himself.

 

He's capable of a high work rate but doesnt need to because of his explosive power. This is an easy concept to understand for anybody you're being aloof on purpose.

 

Joshua doesn't fear any man.. He badly fears losing though and the risk of facing Wilder and losing isn't worth taking right now.

Listen to him on the gloves are off about the fear and worry he has about losing a fight.

 

I think both fighters want to fight each other. We just have to deal with the alphabet belts and ring politics delaying.

 

The numbers support Wilder when he throws wilder punches. Against fighters that lack pedigree. Do you really think Wilder's going to throw 60 punches a round against AJ if they eventually met? I could answer that for you, that's an easy concept to understand for anybody you're being aloof on purpose.
