    I think Joshua wins handily, he will capitalise (and be able to continue to do so for longer than Ortiz's flurry) where Ortiz narrowly failed to last night. I would go Joshua by KO 6-9

    What relevance does that have mate?

    Oh are we picking the worst ever klitschko and comparing him to the best ever ortiz in order to circumvent the obvious that the klitschko aj faced was better than ortiz last night?

    He went down vs sconiers though and no it wasn't a flash knockdown he was out on his feet when he got up

    Hell, Old Man Ortiz, who is 50 years old, sick, on two blood pressure meds and who knows what else, won every round except two, almost had Wilder out, can you imagine what Joshua will do to Wilder?! Joshua will knock Wilder out cold, it will not be a pretty sight! Wilder will probably go to the hospital!

    Klitschko was an old man and well over the hill when he faced Joshua - FACT?

    There is no certain or major favourite IMO. Wilder showed that he also has the balls and heart in the fight against Ortiz. He also showed what we all knew in that he has the power to stop AJ. Both fighters are capable of ending the fight. Its almost certain that it doesnt go the distance. Iv always said that I think AJ gets him out of there but I wouldnt be completely confident.

    I’d be very confident in AJ.

    Do you agree however that Wilder if he lands clean is more than capable of taking AJ out?

    It’s heavyweight boxing, if anyone lands clean on anyone it can be goodnight!

    It took him 10 rounds to land clean on Ortiz however, do you really think he’s got 10 rounds to take out AJ? And do you really think when AJ has got him rocked he’s not capitalising? He’s a much better boxer than Ortiz and he’s a lot more powerful.

    Ortiz has far smarter feet than AJ though much smarter, AJ's are prob quicker but Ortiz is a far more educated fighter than AJ.

    AJ is not a better boxer than Ortiz that is wrong IMO. AJ is more powerful, quicker and has a better tank but Ortiz is a far cuter fighter than AJ. If Ortiz was prime ie 8-10 years ago he would wipe the floor with both Wilder and AJ.

    If Wilder's best shot is landing some equaliser on AJ then that is not enough.

    He has to do more than that and actually come up with a way to put AJ on the back foot. If AJ takes centre ring and outjabs Wilder it will simply be a matter of time until Wilder walks onto a big punch.

    I have still not yet seen anything from Wilder which tells me he can control a fight vs AJ and beat him to the punch.

    I think your wrong. AJ is probably the most underrated boxer in the world simply because his power masks how good he actually is. He won the ABA’s twice, we was robbed in the world amateur boxing championships he should have won but got a silver, he’s an Olympic gold medalist. His amateur background is stellar. He is a good boxer as well as devastating power and speed.

    Thats the thing tho we have seen Wilder outboxed now a fair few times but still KO his opponent, Wilder hits harder than AJ IMO. If Wilder lands clean on AJ then he is out. To just dismiss someone who is quicker, has the longer reach and hits harder is beyond stupid. I still favour AJ but people who just think AJ has to turn up to win dont have a clue

    Im not having a debate with someone who is just trolling.

    AJ in terms of boxing skills is one of the most overated boxers in the world. Wilder in this fight is quicker, hits harder and has the reach. I give AJ the edge but to say that AJ is underrated just screams of fanboy in which case as I said there is no point discussing it with you. If you wanna be genuine and objective then I will.
