No sitting on the fence, no "we need to see more..", there's not much between the resumes anyway (other than quantity). So yeah, just a straight pick.
I think both are great athlete's with tremendous potential. Wilder is just a bit more seasoned and has shown me a bit more of a game plan and adaptability. Not that AJ hasn't got the skills to change a game plan he just hasn't needed to. I think Wilder can take AJ deep and drown him, but a victory either way doesn't surprise me
That would be epic but not realistic because these guys have too much power. I don't think they could land too many flush without someone getting ktfo. Hearns and Hagler are not in the same league of punching power compared to 230lbs plus massive heavyweights
Despite Nichols being better than Joshua, if Nichols can spark Wilder than Joshua shoild have him out of there in 2 or less
I agree with you that AJ could potentially take Wilder out early but where you are getting the other 2 results from is dingbat city :bbb
Even as a Wilder fan, its hard for me to see his edge in this fight. He doesn't have a height, reach or power advantage and I'm not sure he has the pedigree either. Joshua essentially appears to be a more polished Wilder. And he hasn't been down, which Wilder has. However, Joshua's chin really hasn't been tested yet, which it would against Wilder for sure. Not saying Wilder couldn't pull it off, but I'm going to have to see more from him. We will see how he handles Povetkin, and after that possibly Fury.
