    I dont think Joshua is invincible I think wilder has a great shot

    because he went down vs wlad and has been cautious in the ring since I feel hes going to get treated like wlad on here

    What I mean by that is Vladimir reigned for a long time and put those losses behind him by continuing the win fight after fight but there was always a very vocal group of fans both on and not on this forum that would continue to pick him to get knocked out every fight even versus guys that he was clearly Superior to and it wouldn't Shock Me in the least that even if Joshua continues to rack up the fences he's going to get that treatment

    I wasn't disheartened by it in the least, I thought it was a promising sin that he came in low, he might be a little more well conditioned for the fight. Also I thought he looked about the same as he always does, and he was standing next to a hulked up freak, anyone would look saggy next to him.:lol:

    @CST80

    Let's face it, after going against Joshua in virtually every fight since Dillian Whyte, you're going to get one right eventually.

    Going against the favorite in every single fight would result in everyone having better 'Upset Predictions' than those posted in the OP....So i'm not sure what kind of metric this is supposed to be.

    Should probably rename this thread 'P4P Upset Predictors'.

    The only fight I've gone against AJ since Whyte was Wlad and Parker. Both times I was close to being right.:thumbsup:

    And I don't go against every favorite jackass.

    Didn't you predict Martin too?

    And the Klitschko fight was close....But Parker? Cmon now.

    If you had Joshua winning less than 8 rounds in that fight, purely pased on Parker doing nothing, you have an anti-joshua agenda.

    Quite a few sscored it close for Parker or a draw on the RBR. Yeah, it was close, just because you're coming forward doesn't mean you're winning rounds.

    I forgot was Martin before or after Whyte, if so then yeah I did, but that had a lot to do with me just being a fan of Martin's.

    "Quite a few sscored it close for Parker or a draw on the RBR. Yeah, it was close, just because you're coming forward doesn't mean you're winning rounds."

    If you're going backwards, you have to land....Parker barely even threw.

    Can't really recall Parker 'winning' any round of that fight.

    Go back and watch it, that wasn't just my assessment, IB had it a draw, and he likes AJ quite a bit. Yeah, Parker barely threw, but... neither did AJ.:thumbsup: You can't win rounds just because you're coming forward yet throwing and landing little.

    Coming forward + landing little > Going backwards + landing little.


    Joshua beat Parker more convincingly...Or rather more easily, than GGG beat Canelo in 1+2.

    Coming forward landing little, going backward landing little, that's a judging nightmare. Take your fanboy goggles off and rewatch it. In at least 7 rounds their punch stats were basically even. It was not an easy fight to score, at all.

    Get off this thread with this bull****. Do it on one of your own.

    Of course that isn't a nightmare.

    If you have two guys landing identically, but one is aggressive and one is retreating, it's the easiest round you will ever score.

    I don't give credit for people coming forward or going backward, I give credit to who lands the most punches, and who's the more accurate, most of Parker's while not devastating, they were sharper, whereas most of AJ's Parker was defensively sound enough to take the steam off of most of them.

    No way Gavin GOOFY ass McDonnell beats Danny Roman lol. No way. Crawford/Benavidez should be green at best. Crawford is going to clown him. I don't think Gvozdyk is the underdog against 40+ year old Stevenson either.
