    Aside from facing Wilder or Ortiz. There is no one that AJ has ducked in the past 3 years who he should have faced.

    He has weaknesses but everyone has weaknesses.

    It’s all about getting the W and it doesn’t matter how you get it.

    Im in Phuket - large island with other 30 beaches and smaller islands off each coast (its very close to Phi Phi). No trouble here at all and the landscape is amazing. You can get a decent condo with a pool from 7'000 to 12'000 THB a month (mine is 8500) which translates to about $200 - $350 per month, then its up to you how lavishly you live but $1000 a month you will live very well. I'd say I spend about $800 on average per month and thats including rent, transport and gym memebrship. althought I do work Mon - Fri.

    You can PM me if you are seriously considering moving, I've been here a year so know a few things.

    I wonder why people keep getting dominated by Joshua if he's so manufactured and lucky?

    I'd respect your opinion if you didn't hype op Wilder, dumb post.
    If Joshua is lucky then what is Wilder who got dropped by a 350 pound fat man, or almost stopped by Molina... got outboxed by a football player and a Polish hooligan

    There's nothing real about Anthony Catilynn Jenner.

    Fake manufactured Hype
    Fake Heart
    Fake Belts (Fury has the originals)
    Fake manufactured Resume
    Fake Luck
    Fake Name (Real name Femi Oluwafemi Olaseni )
    Fake Physique
    Fake Background
    Fake Demands

    without a doubt!

    A friend came to visit earlier this year, hadn't seen him for about 2 years prior and he even commented that my hair was fuller haha

    Island lifestyle agrees with me.

    AJ and Wilder are both lucky. Both get to learn on the job. Throw them in a different era and both struggle to get to title level without getting sparked.

    Look at Wilders last fight for example. He got caught but weathered the storm. Wouldn't have been able to 15/16 fights into hos career and in previous eras the depth of talent was a lot more.

    AJ will have massive Povetkin problems i think. Cute boxer with a lot of power - he will be the puncher in this fight.

    This thread is harsh. From all the fights I've seen of Joshua he seems to be able to use his superior strength and reach to blast out opponents.

    Yes Wlad should have finished him off but perhaps he was being his usual cautious self. Wlad was also quite gassed out after trying to finish him off after the knockdown so maybe he didn't have enough left in the tank to pull off the knockout.

    Joshua has such physical advantages over most of his opponents I think that the only boxers who can give him a good fight are Wilder and Fury due to their height.

    At the moment he is like the Klitschko brothers - beating up people who are a lot smaller than him.

    We all saw what happened with the Klitschkos when they had to fight men close to their own size - Lewis and Fury.
