Eddie Hearn, the promoter of former heavyweight triplet Anthony Joshua, said that Joshua is most eager to fight with former WBC heavyweight champion American "Bronze Bomber" Deontay Wilde. Even now, Wilder is listed as the number one potential adversary.
Because Joshua vs Usik's second-time battle was temporarily stranded, Joshua had to choose a heavyweight top ten master to play a warm-up match.
Hearn said: "We are thinking about who to play in the next game. Louis-Ortiz, Otto-Wallin, and others were put on the agenda. In particular, Varin, who is a boxer on the left and plays somewhat similar to Usik, is still worth a lot. We also think of Joe Joyce and even former World Champion Wilder.
You have to ask Joshua who he likes to hit the most deeply, and he will tell you that that person is Wilder. Joshua didn't think it was a warm-up game, he took it seriously. ”
The editors believe that Joshua is no longer what he used to be, and at the peak of that year, his match with Wilder can be said to be five or five. The two did negotiate a match, and Joshua even offered a $50 million honorarium to invite Wild to fight a united war. In the end, the game was lost.
Now that both have been ousted from the throne, a fight would still be welcome. So can Joshua beat Wilder?
Fight jianghu thinks it's hard. It's not that Joshua's technique is not good, but the hardness of the body is too poor. Although Wild was koked by Fury twice, his physical hardness and will to fight surpassed Joshua's. At present, Wilder is also in a semi-abandoned situation. Joshua wasn't much better. But Wilder's jaw resistance is much stronger than Joshua's. Most crucially, Joshua's jaw was too soft.
Wilder is a standard heavy gunner, even a super heavy gun, and he can KO any opponent with one punch. Joshua just has a glass chin, and if the two fight, the first 6 rounds can be divided. Wilder's physical fitness is still ok for 6 rounds. Joshua may have more ability to grind points than Wilder, but as long as Wilder makes a perfect punch in the first 6 rounds, joshua can be KO.
Joshua's technique is not impeccable, at least not to catch up with Usik. The technique of the Cuban King Kong Ortiz is also excellent, but it is also difficult to escape Wilder's heavy punch. So Joshua couldn't dodge All of Wilder's attack. As soon as Wild hit a punch, the game was over. Qiao Shu Asia Pacific did not resist the fight.
Unsurprisingly, Joshua might choose to play with Wallin. Wallin is left-handed and punches intensively, which is good for Joshua in preparing for Usik. Wallin's heavy punches are averagely powerful and difficult to pose a threat to Joshua.
In any case, it is almost impossible for Joshua to return to the top of the boxing world. The fragile chin, the undocumented fighting spirit, and the fear of being KO are all his shortcomings, restricting his development. As for him saying he wanted to fight Wilder, he was just talking. Even if Joshua wanted to fight, Hearne couldn't possibly agree. What do you say? 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
