LordOfNaira:Nah not sure kubrat can beat him. His true threat is Deontay. That dude is an animal. Kubrat cannot pose the same threat Klitschkov posed. Well below AJ by far. If Kubrat wasn't a mandatory challenger he would never choose to fight AJ. 1 Like |

delors: God, what makes you think Kubrat is way below AJ? Is it because AJ struggled to beat 40+ year old Wladimir in round 11? You people and your laughable analysis sef. Anyway, the fight will decide. |

[quote author=DeRay98 post=60647509][/quote] Everyone wants to make a go at AJ because they think he is a weak tactical boxer. Everyone came to this conclusion after they saw him struggle against a 41 year old who had not fought since 2015 and even got dominated for a huge part of the fight. Except AJ brings more than physical strength into the fight, Kubrat would knock him out faster than he knocked out Samuel Peter. 1 Like |

pooozeee: Boxing is not maths oga, this is heavy weight boxing if you get punched you must go down. Joshua went down against WK and he can go down against Pulev if he refuse to sort his defense out. Wilder is just a noise maker anyway, He hasnt really fought first grade opponent, Wilder next fight against KingKong Ortiz will put him thru that test. 1 Like |

LordOfNaira: Kubrat is not the same due to age, but the bottom line is this, its heavy weight boxing, if you are sloppy enough to get caught with a bad hand then you are definitely going down. 1 Like |

LordOfNaira: You make me laugh...Samuel Peter is and was never a yard-stick for measuring heavyweights. He just had and took his opportunity. While I believe AJ still needs to improve and knows it too, don't dismiss him too easily. I have watched heavyweight fights videos from 1905 till date, followed fights from the 70s till now, I know more about boxing and boxers than this. Kubrat will fight hard but AJs hand speed is under estimated by many fighters. Kubrat doesn't have fight mastery of Wladmir, he 'll be KO 20 for AJ. |

LordOfNaira:At 41, Klitschkov would still have killed Kubrat. He beat him hands down a year and half prior...as in hands down. No one had taken such direct beating like that from anyone of the Klits brothers. Opponents always put up a show but kubrat started receivong it right fron the first second. Klitschkov would still have beat anyone who came at that period. A rematch with Tyson Fury would have resulted in A klits victory for sure. And about laughable analysis, ain't urs even more laughable or are u a pro boxing analyst? U r just free styling just like the rest of us here. 1 Like |

DeRay98: I only said he would drop AJ faster than he dropped Peter. I wasn't particular about Peter as a boxer. As for Wladimir Klischko, Fury never had his mastery and yet beat him. The truth is Wladimir was already a spent old man. Fury beat him so easily but AJ struggled to beat him. He even dropped AJ once. If AJ doesn't improve much, Kubrat would beat him. The truth is AJ is one of the weakest Heavyweight champions I have ever seen. My opinion, though. |

delors: Yet he couldn't kill Fury who was obviously struggling with fitness even at that time. The truth is Wladimir was finished toward the time he met Fury. Fury dominated him easily but in spite of fighting last in 2015, Wladimir still came out to dominate AJ in 2017. |
Re: Anthony Joshua Names Two Boxers Who Can Strip Him Off World Heavyweight Champion by LordOfNaira: 2:58pm On Sep 20, 2017 |
delors: By laughable analysis, I mean analysis that are too absolute. How can you just make a statement that "Kubrat is way below AJ". Does that not sound laughable? What sort of analysis is that? |

Deontay Wilder is the real threat not Pulev. That man called Deontay is a beast 1 Like |

shurlermoz: You just underrated a dangerous boxer. I fear that Deontay more than any of them, AJ inclusive. AJ should take Pulev down but Deontay I doubt. How many of Deontay's fight have you seen? Youtube is your friend, you would be surprised. AJ knows deep down. Deontay likes to make mouth, fortunately for him it's not just making mouth, he fights dangerously. He doesn't only fight to win, he fights to injure 1 Like |

LordOfNaira: DeRay98: And talking about tactics in boxing, it comes in different ways. Klitschkov tactics was a guerrilla boxing system to wear down opponents: direct hit, withdraw (back step) , attack with direct hit... Tyson's was physical strength and aggression (upper cuts and swings at the forehead) Lennox was physical strength and surprise 1.2. Foremans was physical strength and wrecking ball blows Holyfield was physical strength and relentless combo. Mohammed Ali - sting punch, back step. So if AJ's tactics is physical strength and fast heavy punches, how's that a problem? Most boxers combine physical strength and something else. |

[/quote] Of all you mentioned only Foreman didn't move much. Tyson was very mobile with his head and hard to hit. Holyfield, had endurance and could take hits and return. Ali dances and uses the ring to evade punches until he got old and heavy. We have yet to see AJ's unique defences..As a fan, I'm interested in seeing him improve and become a boxing great. |
