    Wilder is not glass jawed, maybe his chin has regressed, but his chin is what gets him over AJ.

    Wilder is a Glass Jawed fighter. He has no Chin. None.

    I still favor AJ as Wilder is very sloppy and his best shot would be to catch AJ in the mid rounds when he is tired. If AJ is switched on I think he could blow Wilder out in 2 rounds just come out with a high guard and put it on him and Wilder's sloppy feet will be all over the place and AJ has the fire power to put him down hard.

    What have you seen which suggests Wilder has a good chin?

    The fact Fury hurt him across 3 fights suggests otherwise....Fury isn't a big puncher.

    I'd lean slightly towards Wilder at this point because AJs chin, which was never great to begin with, seems to have declined even more. The Chisora win was better than any wins AJ has had in years too.

    Prime for prime I would have favoured AJ by a bit.

    You think he looked "real powerful" against Chisora? He went the distance with a guy he would've slept in the first just a few years prior.

    There's so much wrong with this post, and so much blatant bias, I genuinely wouldn't even know where to begin.

    Thankfully, I don't have to, because almost none of it means sweet **** all in a fight between the two today.

    Why are we talking about fights from 9+ years ago when the thread is asking who wins now?

    And speaking of trips to the shadow realm, Joshua himself came within a whisker of taking one courtesy of Pringle—or whatever the **** his name was—an obscure fighter whose record is more padded than a sofa.

    I'm talking about how their respective mandibular fortitude has been incorrectly perceived by fans in general throughout their careers and applying contextualized contextualization and evidence to challenge that faulty perception and FTR I speak as one of the world's leading authorities on punch resistance aka mandibular fortitude and chin science

    I spoke only truth

    Your mad because I divulged the information about The Dosser having that toilet accident aren't you? I'm just relaying what I have been reliably informed from a trusted insider

    FTR, I'm almost certain he had a toilet accident when Big Bang knocked him bandy-legged and senseless but I kept that to myself because it's only speculation on my part

    And Prenga would be an elite win for him :lol:

    The irony of you accusing me of being "mad" is pretty funny, considering your entire post reads like it was written out of pure emotion.

    The thread is about how Wilder and Joshua would match up today, yet you couldn't stay on that topic. Instead, you went off on a tangent about amateur fights from 15 years ago, sparring rumors, and old fights that have zero relevance to what happens if they fight today.

    As for Prenga being an elite win for Wilder that's laughable.

    A guy with 20 KOs sounds impressive on paper, but once you look at the context, it's mostly against extremely poor opposition, with a lot of stoppages that look highly questionable. He lost to a 2-6 opponent, and there are serious questions about the credibility of some of those inflated numbers.

    There really isn't some great story to tell here. The fact that Joshua was dropped twice by a fighter of that level is far more noteworthy than anything Prenga accomplished.

    And to be clear, I'm not claiming Wilder's opposition was some murderer's row. It wasn't. A lot of it was poor. But even Wilder's weaker opponents were clearly multiple levels above someone like Prenga. Pretending otherwise is just blatant dishonesty.

    Hell, I'd even favor the version of Chisora that Wilder beat to stop Prenga and honestly, probably to stop Joshua today as well.

    Also, it's pretty telling that more than half your post is built around jokes and speculation about people having "toilet accidents."

    The personal grudge against Wilder was already obvious, but the juvenile toilet humor just makes it even more apparent. We're supposed to be discussing a heavyweight matchup, not who allegedly had the most embarrassing moment in sparring.

    When the argument starts drifting into playground jokes about people pooping themselves instead of actual boxing analysis, it doesn't add anything to your point — it just highlights how emotionally invested you are in tearing one fighter down rather than discussing the matchup objectively.

    I can fully endorse Serge's vast knowledge of this subject.
    I personally sat through one of his lectures, many years ago on this subject.
    On that particular occasion Serge completely blew the sports science world apart with many of the academics present at the time suddenly start questioning their years of scientific study.
    When Serge speaks. ESB listens

    Wilder doesn't really have a better chin, but he can take a helluva beating. Wilder can get beaten pillar to post and swing and end it. Joshua's problem is he can't recover (he never really could, but now it's far worse).
