Joshua will knockout Wilder easy and Fury may get 4 rounds but ultimately he gets pushed back and outscored and stopped by round 8. Either way those guys don't have the combination of style and power together to defeat Joshua , that's why they fought each other...lol
I dont know Joshua's chin is pretty damn good. He got clobbered by Wlad right on the side of his head above the ear. That shot finishes most guys or at the least has them ready to go. Joshua was able to recover. Furys chin is not as good but his heart is huge. Also Joshua punches harder and is stronger. Joshua might be too physical for Fury.
AJ has power but he isn't exactly explosive and fast. He lacks what made Wilder successful. I'd pick Fury but it's a toss up fight. It wouldn't surprise me if Fury outboxed him from start to finish. He goes down as the did in the 12th with a British ref, thats waved off before he gets the chance to get back up.
Might be, but Wilder punches harder than that Wlad. Fury's recovery ability is second to none. Only people recently who came close to showing that kind of recovery is Bradley or Froch. Very hard to keep on the canvas.
Nah Fury is too savvy for AJ and he moves too good. He will outbox AJ to a win with a possibility of getting knockdown as well by AJ.
Joshua is much easier to catch than Fury. AJ would be a slight favorite but let's not act as if we were talking about the heavyweight coming of Whitaker. He was wobbled by an old fat Povetkin, almost KTFO by an ancient Wlad, it's more of a 55-45 kind of fight to me.
I dont think Wilder punched harder than Wlad. Pure 1 punch power its Wlad. Hes far more conservative than Wilder is, but when he lands he hits as hard as anyone.
They both punch extremely hard. I think Wilder hits harder on a single shot than any Wlad. Prime Wlad would make him look silly though. Don't think Wilder lands heavy against a prime fit Klit.
I just think AJ has to turn these two matches into a brawl like he did at the start of his career and pummel the **** out of Wilder / Fury... Just like he does eventually when he finishes wlad/povetkin/whyte off but from round 1... Nobody can survive AJ when he pressures like that and pummels you...
Also the quality of shot that Wlad landed on Joshua was picture perfect. It was a full on flush right than landed on the side of Joshua's head. Wilder never landed the perfect shot on Fury. Fury doesnt get up if Wlad lands that shot on Fury. I respect Furys skills, they're better than Joshua's. And hes getting back in shape with every passing fight. But Joshua is too tough and rugged.
Agreed, I must admit I underrated Wlad's power, but having recently watched a lot of his KO's, damn he hit awfully hard. His punches are so compact, he doesn't really load up at all, yet when he landed guys just dropped like they'd walked into a flush bomb. Wlad for me definitely hits harder than Wilder and anyone else in the division right now.
Joshua: Decent boxing skills Great power Hittable Stiff Fury: Slick and skilled Average power (he is not featherfisted, he doesn't commit 100% most of the time) Wilder: Fast Great power Hittable Poor skills Nice diversity. Joshua Wilder is so interesting to me. Wilder is faster so he could get a KO, but I believe Joshua can catch him while he's windmilling and he'd definitely KO him too if he does.
