    I believe if AJ gets gently tapped by Wilder, his chin would explode

    However the contrary is also possible, even if comparatively less likely, making this matchup far more intriguing to me than Fury v AJ personally.

    I've seen AJ get battered too many times now, I'd be pretty comfortable picking Wilder here.

    Joshua couldn’t beat an egg these days.

    Garbage fight, but like a car crash, impossible to look away.

    Wilder (who also sucks) KO4.

    At this point I would lean Wilder actually flat backing Joshua before Joshua stops him. Yes even this horrid version of Wilder, because one thing we do now know and can look back on his entire career.....................contrary to the jokes about his chin, Wilder can take a hellacious beating and still melt you.

    Let’s not forget even at this point in both Wilders and Joshua’s career,Hearn only recently just stated that that Wilder is too risky a fight for Joshua !

    Definitely possible. But the same goes for the other way around.

    Let's not forget that Wlad knocked out The Dosser with big gloves and headgear on in sparring or at a bare minimum dropped him multiple times, hurt him badly, and stopped him

    Word on the street is The Dosser had to throw his trunks in the wash immediately after that spar for reasons I'd rather not go into on here

    Wlad didn't drop AJ in sparring and even though he did did so in their sanctioned fight AJ got up and there was no foul stench emanating from his trunks

    The Dosser has barely fought any KO artists amateur and pro.

    The biggest puncher The Dosser has ever fought is Big Bang and he got HL reel KO'd by him

    AJ has fought KO artists like Wlad, Povetkin, Whyte all of whom AJ knocked out and whom The Dosser ducked like they had leprosy

    And even in the amateurs AJ fought KO artists and legit bangers like Big Bang, Majidov, Cammarelle, Savon, Dychko

    Compare their respective stoppage losses in the amateurs

    The Dosser doing chicken dances and getting dropped hard from love taps

    AJ taking massive flush southpaw backhand kill shots which landed with a sicking thud and would've sent The Dosser on a first class trip to the shadow realm

    But today? I don't see AJ pulling it off because he is far from the fighter he was when he fought Wlad.

    I'm surprised people just assume Wilder will land on him, considering how he struggled to land on Chisora, a walking punch bag. Likewise he couldn't land on Parker or Zhang either.

    He's not fighting Wlad though, he's fighting a Deontay Wilder who seems incapable of throwing punches anymore.

    Wilder should unironically fight Prenga.

    You've really got to be either carefree or stewptawrded to lay any real money on any outcome with these guys right now.

    Exactly my point? A guy who almost got blasted out by prenga in the first round isn't seeing the first minute against Wilder.

    Also Wilder threw plenty against Chisora, even knocked him OUT of the ring.

    Wilder looked better against Chisora so it's possible.
