    That would be great for him.

    Jab, grab, clinch, outmuscle, and protect the chin and pace from opponents.

    But he could make use of the killer instinct when needed.

    That's my worry too. But that style won't work against Wilder

    Such a false conclusion. One has to wonder how any fan could seriously come to such a conclusion..

    The only thing that's been exposed is your pathetic boxing knowledge. You can't ever be taken seriously from here on out you're nothing but a true weak troll

    Wilder quite clearly has more power and half the time just arm punches,imagine if he learnt to punch properly.......scary stuff.
    AJ more accumulative than one punch but really I can’t see how it matters re results.

    20 KO's in 21 bouts (with many coming against top rated contenders.)

    Personally I'm not a fan of AJ but this ratio would tend to suggest that his power is at the very least a little above average and at best formidable.

    I'd wager if Joshua threw those big technically stupid windmill punches he wouldn't be far off. In terms of general power? Every punch Joshua throws has power, because he's a better boxer, not everything Wilder does has power or purpose behind it. He has one big shot, Joshua can take a guy out with any shot in his repertoire.

    These comparisons from one fight to the other, unless the guy is on the same level - ie comparing Joshua opponents to Wilder opponents - are silly, IMO. There are so many variations between fighting the 4th best guy in Bulgaria at HW on a week's notice, with no camp and fighting the elite guys in the division, with big money at stake knowing that you have the opportunity to be either taken out in one punch or knowing you could set yourself up for life with a win.

    I reckon Wlad was the biggest puncher of everyone,his jab was rocking Povetkin silly,never seen anything like that before or since.

    This is as AJs punches are textbook,always keeps his shape,Wilders punches come from down near his ankles and finish up coming down on his opponents heads,effective but I get embarrassed watching it.

    I’m am not an AJ fan but no it hasn’t and it’s crazy to say that. When he fought JP, JP was on his back foot the entire fight and Joshua openly admitted to not going to war to preserve the Wilder fight. That man has power to say anything about it at this point is crazy and just pure hate

    98% of those 'ko's'' were british stoppages. I wouldn't even call them knock outs because they were still conscious and battling back only to be waved off.

    Only Dillian Whyte did he managed to knock out properly.
