I think Deontay Wilder does nothing better than a 41 year old Wlad, i can't see him beating Anthony Joshua, especially after this learning experience with Wladimir Klitschko. I would put AJ as the favorite in this fight with a 90% chance to beat Wilder. What are your opinions, who would win this fight and why ?
He might be more explosive than Wlad and possibly quicker Wlad is better in most physical categories and probably all the technical ones but I figure Wilder has chance if he can land something and go after him. Wlad might have been too passive at times with Joshua where as Wilder would attack probably a lewis vs grant/briggs type of fight I favor Joshua but I think Wilder is a live dog
AJ KO win within 3 rounds. Brutal knockout. Deontay would be way out of his depth. I doubt though Deontay ever takes the fight.
Wilder could finish better than Wlad. I favor AJ to blast Wilder out in a few rounds, but the longer it goes, the better Wilders chances. If he hurts AJ I think he stops him.
AJ without a doubt. Wilder's only chance is great punch which AJ won't see coming (like the one from Szpilka fight). Wilder is a slow starter, while AJ is a quick starter AJ has solid chin and defense, great power and pretty good offensive skills. Wilder isn't nearly as bad as many think, but he has few flaws which will cost him the fight 1) he leans back when he's attacked 2) he leaves his chin in the air too often while you need to keep chin low to reduce effects of punches (like AJ does) 3) Wilder's balance is questionable, he needs to work on it more
Joshua is better than Wilder in most depts, maybe all. But that doesnt mean its a garunteed win. My money would be on Joshua. But Wilder has the power too it cant be denied and as sloppy as he looks most the time he is good at catching them on the way in and that would be the shot Wilder would look to use. Go in windmilling and he is fukked.
Aj chin's him within 3 rounds, only hope wilder has of delaying the devastating ko is if he jabs and dances abit.
50/50 fight but one thing for sure, if Wilder catches AJ coming in and he hits the deck similar to last weekend its ooovvvverrrr, Wilder will finish him.
Wilders only strength is his power (which is unproven at elite level) AJ has a granite chin. He was the first man to get up from a clean full right hand against Wlad and win. AJ neutralises Wilders only (unproven) strength.
Please sue your brain for non support..........Granite chin, lol. watch WK/Peter when a far fresher/younger WK hit Peter with similar rights and Peter did not go ANYWHERE until the hook of the jab in the 12th.
Wilder's power is completely unproven because his supposed power has only been tested against the likes of Stiverne and Malik Scott, who are outside the top 20 in terms of HWs. David Price looked wonderful himself until he fought a genuine top 20 HW. Devasting power in fact. Come on now, be genuine and stop pretending what I have said is not cast iron correct.
AJ by KO. Not brutal beatdown because Wilder won't last that long if he gets hit by anything "brutal".
I think Wilder would try to keep him at the distance with his jab to hit him with a big right hand but the problem is that Wilder has not the footwork and balance to keep a powerhouse like Anthony Joshua at the distance for the entire fight. Deontay Wilder hasn't good inside fighting skills and Anthony Joshua would overwhelm him. AJ would have tremendous advantages in the in-fight considering that Deontay Wilder is the taller man. Anthony Joshua has more the fighting style of a small man despite being 6ft.6 and Deontay Wilder would probably be the perfect opponent for him.
