    Still 50/50. “It is what it is.”

    This is the fight that makes sense, although I think Wilder loses to Zhang and AJ.

    We need to stop the Usyk talk though because even if Wilder wins, he does not deserve a shot at Usyk with a win over Zhang. He just got dominated by Parker and would be 2-3 in his last 5 if he wins.

    Not saying it does. I just don't think AJs style would work against Wilder and doubt his chin will hold up to the right hand. Even back when Fury was more elusive that right hand found it's mark every time.

    AJ can't replicate Parker's game plan and will likely fight very cautiously which works in Wilders favour.

    If Ruiz can put an over confident AJ on his backside imagine what Wilder will do when that right hand eventually finds it's way home. AJ isn't a defensive wizard.

    I think this fight happens because Joshua has said on a few occasions he doesn't even care if it's for belts, he just wants to fight Wilder.

    Watchoo on about you mate? Why would Joshua want to replicate Parker's game plan when he can just knock old Deontay sparkers with any punch he lands?

    Bet you picked Ngannou to beat Joshua because "Joshua can't take Ngannou's power and get off the canvas like Fury did."

    Forget about Joshua's chin. Think about Wilder's. It's getting majorly dented if these two clash.

    AJ couldn't knock out Andy Ruiz and got smashed around the ring when he tried. Same will happen here.

    Ruiz has never been knocked out. Wilder has been knocked out twice.

    Are you defective?

    AJ being knocked out using your proposed tactic is the point that went above your head.

    Speaking of, get yours checked.

    Wilder has lost the eye of the tiger; AJ had his talk with Adrian in a crappy hotel room in Philly, got it back, finally beat Apollo in a foot race, and is ready for the big time again.

    If the Wilder from his last fight and the AJ from his last fight met, I predict an AJ win by stoppage.

    So what? Does Wilder have Ruiz’ chin?? Does Wilder have Ruiz’ skillset? AJ v Ruiz has f*ckall to do with AJ v Wilder.
