Re: Anthony Joshua vs. TBA | DAZN - August 2023 Shock/horror but but but he's clean.
It is something that ought to be discussed mightily.
There is always discussions whether somebody is "natty" or not. I remember interviewing Mike Weaver and asking him whether he took steroids and he said he just was naturally gifted genetically. I didn't buy it then, and don't quite buy it with Joshua either.
How many men do you know who are almost no body fat, and rippling muscles of enormous size and not taking something? I'd venture to say zero. He doesn't have a fighters physique. He has a bodybuilding physique, which is why he basically sucks when he tries to be a textbook boxer because he's so musclebound he has no fluidity in his punches.

As for Joshua being a drugs cheat remind me again which heavyweight got banned for using nandrolone?

Hearn now claiming Wilder is 'the most overrated fighter in the game.'
When Wilder KOs Joshua in December Hearn will be telling us Wilder is the greatest puncher in history.

He's a bit old now and inactive for many years, but you're probably right.

It's a boxing promoter speaking about one of his boxer's main rivals. There's always been shit talk involved with that.

Hearn's already acknowledged that a fight between Joshua and Wilder could end with one connection from Wilder, so the part where you stated he'd suddenly be claiming Wilder as the greatest puncher in history, well, he's ack'ed the power that Wilder possesses already, so it's not as if he's changing his mind on that part of it.

Few, if anyone, rate Wilder the best heavyweight in the world but most rate him 3rd or 4th best because that is a reasonable assessment of where he stands.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. TBA | DAZN - August 2023
Based on resume I would say Joshua is #2 but I have always said because of Wilder's reckless Max Baer style and punching power he's rather unorthodox so he is #2 based on how difficult it is to get over on him. I've always rated him 2nd to Tyson Fury.Redback Rasta wrote: ↑01 Jul 2023, 20:23Not sure how Hearn can acknowledge Wilder could knock Joshua out with one punch, yet claim he is the the most overrated fighter in the game.The Gratest wrote: ↑01 Jul 2023, 11:58It's a boxing promoter speaking about one of his boxer's main rivals.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. TBA | DAZN - August 2023
do people actually watch wilder fight? his style is as basic and predictable as it comes............continual pawing with the jab, standing off, and setting up 1-2s. rinse and repeat. he gets wild when he hurts someone, but his overall style is not unorthodox at all, it's one of he most over said things in boxing
a KO coming suddenly because a guy is a huge puncher doesn't = unorthodox style

Wilder doesn't do what everybody else does, that's why he is referred to by many as unorthodox. For starters, Wilder doesn't attempt to win rounds - he admits that himself - instead he simply stalks his opponent, waiting for the opportunity to knock him out and when that opportune moment arises that is almost invariably what happens.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. TBA | DAZN - August 2023
he stands off and paws with jabs and throws a lot of 1-2s, that is not some rare approach to boxing. his offensive repitoire is in fact extremely predictable
people just confuse ko out of nowhere with his style itself being unorthodox or unpredictable, but it's not at all. throwing punches from strange angles or ranges that people don't expect would be, switching regularly between southpaw and orthodox would be. having an arms down herky jerk style with all sorts of head an upper body movement would be.
throwing a punch of pawing jabs and 1-2s isnt.

Unorthodox means contrary to what is usual, traditional, or accepted. It doesn't necessary mean unpredictable.
What Wilder does is simple and predictable but very hard to counter.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. TBA | DAZN - August 2023
The rare approach is that he basically bum rushes at people instead of cautiously or scientifically. You're taught to not do so, yet Wilder has made being a reckless brawler work for him. That's why he's unorthodox. Watch his matches and watch Max Baer's matches and they're pretty much identical.
And when Wilder comes in light (212 or so) he's able to throw a rather large amount of power punches even if he's missing many of them like in the first fight with Tyson Fury.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. TBA | DAZN - August 2023
he isn't even remotely a bum rushing brawler. he stands at distance and does lots of feinting and staring and pawing at his opponent, ocassionally mixing in 1-2s, hardly anything other than jabs and straight rights. this makes up 90 percent of his fights and he rarely deviates unless he's trying to finish a fight or is hurt and fighting out of instict
