The AJ-Pulev fight showed us Andy Ruiz lives rent free in AJs head. Everytime AJ throws punches now he sees some Ruiz demons. So who wins?
Whoever lands their bomb first That fight is not going 12 rounds and would still be MASSIVE. AJ should fight Wilder after Fury has swatted AJ off.
I've said before and I'll say it to you people again: styles make fights. Fury vs Wilder means nothing when you reshuffle the deck. that is because AJ is a good boxer with killer KO power and AJ would KO big oaf Fury, he'd be nothing but a big target for AJ and Wilder KOs AJ simply because AJ is too cautious and timid and Wilder will not respect him. Wilder KO 6
AJ stopes him early. Fury proved that you need a power punchers style to beat wilder. Imagine what a real hitter who throws in combinations would’ve done to wilder that night.
Joshua would beat him up so badly. Breazeale type job but Wilders chin won’t hold out as long. I give Wilder 4 rounds before he’s on the canvas.
Wilders legs turned into jelly as soon as Fury landed one clean right hand in round 12 of the first fight. That’s when he knew Wilder couldn’t hold a shot well. AJ takes him out early I agree.
Wilder has zero defence and one of the leakiest guards I’ve ever seen from a world champion. He’s a magnet for an AJ uppercut. His legs would go as soon as AJ landed a clean uppercut and he’d be stopped very soon after. AJ KO inside 4.
AJ's an even worse style match up for Wilder than Fury. There's a reason why Wilder and his people turned down over 100 mill, Wilder gets wrecked. Even cautious AJ almost had Pulev out in 3, against Wilder AJ walks through him even quicker because AJ knows you have to back Wilder up to defuse that right hand. Wilder isn't out jabbing AJ, Wilder isn't just going to jump on him as he himself is a very cautious reactionary fighter who responds to feints. AJ can back him up just with feints and the odd jab and once he has him with his back to the ropes it's all over, he couldn't cope with Fury's offence, he has no hope vs Joshua's.
There was a lot of fear in Anthony's eyes against Pulev and Ruiz 2. He would be absolutely terrified of the powa. Wilder KO2.
And its so funny when you hear today the words of Ortiz´ trainer after Wilder-Ortiz 2: "Wilder will KO AJ in 1 Round. AJ will end exactly like Breazeale." Thats what he said in September 2019.
Wilder looked more gun shy against Ortiz in the rematch than Joshua did in his last fight. AJ should have stopped Pulev in the third round anyway if the ref did his job.
