    Resume's don't win fights.
    Wards wins over Barrera and Kovalev are better than any of Beterbiev's wins. That does not mean Ward automatically defeats Beterbiev. Understand the styles that make fights. Btw I rank you next to the likes of Beyonce , Gassed , Chop Chop etc

    Wilder has a punchers chance, he's got size, reach, speed and power that could see him do what he did against Washington and come from behind and get a stoppage.

    But that's a long shot in my opinion. Joshua has proven he is far better than anyone Wilder has fought and Wilder has struggled with the opposition he has faced so far. Wobbled, out boxed against guys Joshua would blow away. Look how they both performed against Molina, Wilder was wobbled and took 9 rounds while AJ wiped the floor with Molina without getting out of first gear.

    Wilder usually enjoys a significant size advantage but we saw when facing a similar sized opponent in Washington he was out boxed before his power saved him. Joshua is far better than Washington in every way, he'd out box Wilder with ease and with Joshua's power it's more likely he KO's Wilder before Wilder can land a Hail Mary right hand like he did vs Washington.

    Even if Wilder lands a big shot, I doubt Wilder hits as hard as Wlad and Joshua will get up and while Wilder at the level he has fought so far been a good finisher, his wide, windmilling shots would leave him hugely open to Joshua's more compact shots, especially that uppercut. I could see an top top Wilder, windmilling away trying to finish Joshua and walking into a huge counter that knocks him out cold.

    Yea he doesnt, but he does have ridiculous power. AJ isn't too hard to hit!

    I think it's whoever can land first. Neither have the greatest chin and both have crazy power/speed.

    It'll be a great fight for the 4-5 rounds it lasts!

    AJ has proved he can hang at the top level, Wilder has not

    As far as styles AJ all day, Deontay looks ridiculous in there

    I think those windmill are open to a massive uppercut like the one AJ put on Klitschko in the 11th. Slip inside as Wilder telegraphs one of those windmills.....and bang, lights out for Wilder.

    Wilder will always have a puncher's chance, but I would expect a disciplined Joshua to stop Wilder in a relatively short, explosive fight. Wilder would have to turn this fight immediately into a brawl, in which he would have some chance to land the decisiveblow. Playing on Joshua's stamina running out is not a smart move, as the Wlad fight demonstrated. Joshua is durable.

    Joshua explosive KO within 3 rounds in a FOTY candidate.

    You forgot the best one - would Joshua fail to actually KO Charlie Zelenoff like Wilder? No.

    I think Wilder is a phoney so don't give him much chance, even his punch would easily be avoided by Joshua I think. his technique is a joke, the sooner Wilder gets exposed the better

    That's Wilder's fight style, forget the philly shell we have the "mistimed that windmill, fark it I'll just throw two more'.

    Sorry for the cliche. But I think Joshua shows he is levels above Wilder.

    Power alone only gives you a very slim chance if you are a lot weaker in most other departments. The argument that Wilder would have finished AJ after the KD is probably true. But I can't for the life of me figure out how he gets Joshua into that position.

    I'd like to see Joshua pretend he's hurt off one of Wilders punches because then Wilder will unleash the windmills. Wilder is so square and so open during the windmills that it would then be an ideal time for Joshua to then suprise Wilder with a big shot. Its the kind of thing Ali would do based on his rope and dope tactics.
