Kubrat will most likely beat him. I keep on telling people that AJ's undoing would be his lack of tactical skills. He relies too much on his physique than skills. He was lucky to win against a 40+ Wladimir who even knocked him down during the fight and would have won him on TKO. Kubrat is a master tactician. AJ has to start working on tactics.

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.

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.

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.

pooozeee:
This is the 1st tym AJ would lie, AJ knocked down Klitschko , Klitschko knocked down Kubrat very easily so tell me how would kubrat be able to beat AJ ? I av also seen deontay fight, he is not a beta match for AJ

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.

SuperSuave:
Nigerian-British boxing champion, Anthony Joshua has disclosed his two biggest threats in the heavyweight boxing division.

The reigning heavyweight champion told  Skysport during an interview that  Kubrat Pulev  – his next challenger, and  Deontay Wilder  are the biggest threats to his current rank.



This coming ahead of October 28, 2017, unified world heavyweight champion showdown at theMillennium Stadium in Cardiff.

The fight would be the first time of Anthony Joshua in the ring after a definite win overWladimir Klitschko in April this year.

Joshua hoped to have a lucrative rematch with the Ukrainian in Las Vegas, but Klitschko opted for retirement. This leaves him with Kubrat Pulev as the last and mandatory option.

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.

Rio Ferdinand is coming for you!

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.

Even HE knows the truth.

Nice talk from you Tony.

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.

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.

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.

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

That wasnt an analysis bro...cool yourself...that was an opinion. My apologies for simply assuming u knew the difference.

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

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.

na mumu seekig attention...make sars no carry gun,make youmeet am one on one for corner..no be to trade blows embarrass am with proper beating?

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.

My man...
