    Both have losses. Both are In current strange mind sets.

    Who takes It? I liked the Wilder In the 3rd Fury fight. Big, strong and powerful with plenty of heart and fight with mean desire.

    Thoughts?

    AJ by out cold KO. Same level of power, AJ can set it up much better, much better footwork, jab, footspeed, defense, IQ, everything. And Beyonce wilder has a worse chin than AJ. Heart wont matter, Joshua will KO him stiff and end all that stupid talk he use to say

    I agree, Wilder is over rated.

    Same level of power? Wilder knocked Dominic B by 1 round. It took AJ 7 rounds.

    AJ isn't looking for 1 big shot, he works behind the jab then finds his power

    It won't happen this year or any year. Wilder never wanted that smoke.
    Joshua would win more than likely.

    Slightly favour Joshua as he's the better all round boxer and would *probably* land big first but this is as close to a "pick'em" fight as you are gonna get at the minute I think and if Wilder lands first he most likely wins.

    Wilder defo has more power in that straight right but Joshua has a lot more power shots than Wilder I reckon, not as powerful as Wilder's straight right obviously but more ways of hurting you. Although, he does seem gun shy at the moment.

    Wilder smashes him to pieces. There's a reason Hearn negotiated his boy away from that smoke with all manner of unreasonable demands back in 2017–18.

    It would be a competitive fight, but Joshua would have to be made the favorite. Similar power, but a much better and more technically sound all-around boxer, whereas Wilder is basically just an athletic, long guy with a big right hand and decent fighting instinct.

    This fight I think would basically be a more competitive version of Lewis vs Briggs, since Joshua isn't as good as Lewis, and Wilder is better than Briggs.

    However, we're more likely to see Andy Ruiz ripped and chiseled at his next weigh in than we are to ever see this fight.

    I don’t think wilder will ever be the same after that last beating he took, he left a lot of himself in the ring. Prime for prime? Complete 50/50, gun to my head I’d say wilder finds the target before AJ and that’s all she wrote

    Wilder has landed his right on every fighter he has met in the Ring...............AJ does not pack glass but it is close to it, he aint surviving ANY rights from Wilder. plus he is gun shy as hell too, he gets laid out, the Bodybuilder is a Athlete but not a fighter, his confidence has been shot since he quit against the Fat man and it has not and never will come back.

    If Wilder didn't fight him for 120 million, why would he fight him for less and no belts? He wouldn't. Because he is and was always an overrated bum beating fraud. Just like Fury

    AJ beats in the first round. There a reason why Wilder team had no confidence in him winning a fight against AJ and turned down so many offer to fight him. Why Wilder avoided any of the big punchers in divison.

    Wilder is extremely limited boxer, that telegraph his right from a mile away, that can't box onbthe back foot and has glass chinn.

    You only have to look at massive gulf of wins against quality of opposition between the two records.

    Going on that you could say vice versa with Molina (who hurt Wilder and made him go bambi legs)
