Lets jus see how AJ does in rematch and if Wilder continues, lets see who his hand pick KO is. After that we will have a good idea how either would fare.
This. While yeah Fury is near 300lbs, that doesn't necessarily equate to a hard punch. A good example of this is Valuev, who was a bit pillow fisted for his size.
Joshua has lost his aura of invincibility, with the punishing loss to Ruiz and the beatdown by Usyk. So, they are both damaged goods in a big way though Wilder more so from a physical standpoint after the brutal beatdown last night, and AJ from a mental one. If they were to fight in the near future-and that is when it would have to be as Wilder is pushing 37, I would still favor Wilder as I trust he would land a right or two and send Joshua into a state of mental duress from which he would not recover.
Joshua hits multiples of times harder than Fury and if Gerald Washington, Louis Ortiz and co can land on Wilder then you better bet that Joshua will! Good night Deontay
NO he isn’t! He can go toe to toe He can pressure and look for power combinations He can box from distance Who have you been watching?
If Joshua takes the early rounds then Wilder is flat on his back and out cold, it never gets to round 8
50/50. Remember Wilder has nothing close range, and AJ is the most deadly fight at close range. His combinations would be a nightmare for Wilder, but Wilder's threat at range would be difficult for AJ. Purely a 50/50 fight, someone is getting KO'd in 4-5 rounds.
In a fight where both fighters have equal probability of landing their KO punch then it's 50/50 but I don't see it this way. Fact is Joshua is a far better boxer and has more ways to get to Wilder than Wilder does in return. If they fought 10 times I could see Wilder walking AJ into a shot maybe 2/10 but I see 8/10 AJ KOing Wilder before Wilder can find his shot. I see this more like 70/30 or 80/20 to AJ. Wilder has a punchers chance but he's more likely to be KO'ed first.
Being the better boxer wins most of the time. If Joshua connects on Wilder ; he will be out for ten minutes , and lifted into an ambulance carried to the nearest hospital to spend a couple of nights
Wilder would beat Joshua by knockout because of his scintillating power,but wilder certainly doesn’t have a granite chin,he has been knocked down and hurt many times.
Everytime Fury stuck a jab in The Tuscaloser's face his head snapped and he was rocked back on his heals. If Fury wasn't so rusty from the inactivity and more motivated he would've taken him out in half the time. The Tuscaloser stands a puncher's chance against AJ but in terms of skills, quality, pedigree AJ is far better and he stands just a good chance if not better of sparking The Tuscaloser out too. Even more so after those last two brutal baptisms Fury administered to him.
Wilder busts his head open…AJ has fear, he’s soft. Say what you want about Wilder but he isn’t soft, he isn’t afraid, and he won’t be gun shy. AJ would be covering up, trying to “box” and would get smashed before he decided to let his hands go. In theory he has the tools but fights aren’t fought on paper…
I see it the same way. I've always believed that Wilder has too much heart and firepower for Anthony Joshua, who himself may well be a significantly depleted force if he gets another serving of Usyk Pie.
