Who do you prefer? Not head to head, just overall. I know Joshua doesn't have a lot of fights, but he is a Gold Medalist. Based on potenial, who do you see being better in the long run.
Joshua by a mile his is and will be better than wilder in every department Until wilder actually does something his all smoke and mirrors for me
True but his performance at the world championships in only his second major tournament was exceptional and highlights how great his potential is And don't forget your light heavyweight from Montenegro was gifted a place in the Olympics in the first place over joe ward and Callum smith
Joshua is more technically sound. He's not unbeatable, but Wilder is a fighter who will need to learn how to do more than just punch as he goes along. Wilder displays talent, but not a world beating jab, and all of the great tall heavies had great jabs. This along with his tendency to go "wild" when he has a fighter hurt will need to be improved upon.
Wilders jab is very rigid and poor, and his power while good so far is definitely , firtha a reasonably durable heavyweight went four rounds with him while the supposibly light hitting fury had him out in 5 I honestly believe that even at this stage Joshua is the more proven prospect due to how good he was in the amateurs
wilders chin is sand glass, once it smashes its the one of the hardest to chins to get back together.
Know that I think of it , usyks a more proven heavyweight than wilder, schooling medzhidov over 5 rounds is Faroese Impressive than anything Wilders done
Whatever AJ achieved in the amateurs doesn't necessarily impact in the pro's and DW, whatever the level of his competition, has way more pro experience than AJ! Such is the shallow depth of talent in the heavyweight division people will say that DW hasn't fought anyone till he actually gets in with Wlad! If they fought today I'd pick DW based on confidence and greater pro experience but in terms of talent and potential I think AJ has the advantage. For a novice pro he demonstrates excellent technique and combination punching. I just hope he can take a shot!!
