    Fury beat the soul out of The Bronze Dosser's body in Baptism III and the biblical shellacking he administered to him in Baptism II was x-rated too. AJ has never been euthanized like that in either of his loses. Sure he would likely go if The Bronze Dosser clips him right, but the reverse has always been true and AJ's more skillful and much better technically and he can take him out with either hand. And the chances of him doing so post-Baptism II and Baptism III are significantly higher.

    AJ has heart, but he doesn’t react well when he is knocked down. WK let him off the hook when he should have let hos hands go. AJ did nothing but trying to survive after the KD. He seemed slow and gassed for a while, but WK didn’t go for the kill.
    Ruiz jumped right in and AJ never had the time to recover.
    If Wilder floors AJ he will surely go for the kill. Good fight! Would love to see it!

    Though AJ might be overall a better fighter, he doesn't have the chin or heart. Wilder would catch him in 5. Joshua pulverized.

    The darkness of the arena fades back to light as Wilder takes off his demon mask

    Both fighters take centre ring. AJ chewing his gumshield, Wilder scarred & filled with rage as Fury smirks from ringside knowing what is about to unfold.

    ding ding, the bell rings

    Immediately almost in slow motion a lightning quick right hand flies across the ring slamming into AJ's head

    The crowd roars as a lifeless body slowly falls to the canvas

    A head flies across the arena

    The roars quickly turn into piecing screams as the realization of what has happened spreads like a shockwave through the arena

    Wilder enters a manic craze and starts wailing at anyone he can get his hands on

    Only Fury can stop him, The Gypsy King yet again takes the helm by climbing on the ring corner post. He bodyslams into an out of control Wilder bringing his reign of terror to a final end. The WBC present Fury with a champion of the century belt for saving humanity.

    I can't believe this is even a question
    AJ brutally knocks him out.
    This is the guy who struggled with Szpilka for 9 rounds

    More chance of Wilder putting together a coherent sentence. Fight will never happen.

    The destroyer version of AJ who beat Kevin Johnson in 2 rounds (albeit by British stoppage and punching after the bell) would have a better chance, this stiff statue version is tailor made for the Dosser.

    Joshua by brutal KO. Wilder's chin is way more suspect and has been rocked by eric molina and fury had him constantly rocked. Joshua is way more technical and wilder goes out cold, dont want to hear anything about muh heart

    Wilder as well as power has a tremendous amount of heart,Wilder win by brutal KO in the first 3 rounds,I’ve always said it and with this version of Joshua I’m sure of it.Wilder will be there to win until KOd,Joshua on the other hand will be there to survive. There is clearly a lot of interest in this match up and it would still be great to see .

    People overrated Wilder for being competitive against someone's who's reputation is from beating Wilder.

    No he didn't actually Quit , but he seems to get so scrambled that he can't recover...similar in that respect to Frank Bruno...
