    I thought AJs comments on his job is to make these guys look bad which is true when you think what he did to Whyte,Martin and Beazleale,I guess until he gets in the ring with Parker well never know,it may be that he's just too good for everyone?

    I think that Stiverne is more dangerous (25% chance to win) for Joshua than Parker (10 %). Stiverne has much more punch power.....

    Stiverne has been beaten up by Parker in the sparring ring...so that throws out your percentage guessing.

    stiverne has just as ****py a resume as joshua, wilder, and fury. beating him proves very little.

    Off topic, but I have to say : if Joshua defeat Haye and Ortiz till 2018, for me he will be a genuine champion. Supposing Klitschko is retired because of age, same as Fury because of bipolar disorder...

    Good test at this point in his career. If he could stop Stiverne I'd be thoroughly impressed.
     
  7. It's a shameless garbage mismatch of epic porportions. This is worset han Breazeale, because this guy is at 37 years old out of shape son of ***** with no shame, no defense and a walking heart attack to boot.

    Talking about how AJ is tailor made for him.... yeah tailor made to snap his tiny fat head back for 3 rounds before his belly drops forward to the floor.

    And then they'll charge you ppv prices for the priviledge of witnessing a prime steroid freak put out some rancid old piece of blubber, that's past it's sale by date.

    I like the fight.

    If Stiverne somehow wins, then we might get Arreola-Stiverne III as a unification bout.

    Mismatch but not a terrible fight. Stivernes lazy style doesn't bold well for a quick starter like Joshua. There's a very good chance he gets bombed out early.

    Mismatch, no doubt about it..................Stiverne is not a good fighter, he has been knocked out before the Wilder fight. How did he ever get to fight for the WBC title in the first place? Joshua will knock him out.............

    I've watched Stiverne's stoppage, it was bad decision.

    That could definitely happen. Stiverne isn't a quick starter himself, he takes a few rounds to get going, we saw that in the Arreola fights, if AJ jumps on him and lands something big when cold, then it could be over before it starts. Stiverne doesn't have the greatest defence either, he can definitely be gotten to.

    Wilder absolutely ruined Stiverne, Joshua gets no credit for this win.

    By outjabbing him on the outside? Don't see how Stiverne is ruined from that.
