    Joshua is a far superior boxer to Wilder. Fury v AJ will be a thriller. Think AJ v Klitshko rather than AJ v Ruiz.

    Didn't work out well for Hatton when he did that.

    Yep this exactly. If Wilder is to ever improve, he needs to completely change his mindset.

    But not all the blame falls at his feet. How he's been handled by his management team are to blame for his mindset. When you match him with cherry picked opponent, after cherry picked opponent who you all KO then of course you are going to fall in love with your power. He never had the early learning fights so make him dedicate himself to other aspects of his game. If Joshua had never fought Whyte he might of very well walked right at Wlad and been KO'ed quickly. That's kind of experience as you learn the game is invaluable and Wilder was denied that throughout his career.

    Agreed although nearing 35 I think it's too late for him to learn what he needs to learn to beat someone like Fury who TBF would be a handful for anyone in the history of the sport.

    Joshua will do no better than Wilder here. Is he going to bulk up again or stay lighter and go on his bike? Neither will work vs last nights Fury.

    ha ha look like Floyd Snr , he did wonders with Del la Hoya but lets be real hatton was ill advised to ditch Graham as there scape goat C'mon...no matter what or who was training Hatton against Manny the painful outcome would have been the same... I mean Manny was not a worn out Kosta & the crowd & ref were not in Hattons pocket so what could be expected . That was purely a window designed to promote the Floyd & Manny fight, so do you think for one minute that Floyd Snr would jepordise that ?
    Any way I digress, TBH Sugar the Peter Fury thing was very tongue in cheek fella...I mean as if...

    Below average to weak is correct, and his ability to get up after being floored on those thin legs doesn't help him recover. He tends to swell quickly too.

    Part of a good chin is confidence in the ability to take it. That ship has sailed for Wilder. I want to see him fight a young fighter on the rise ( Hrgovic or the winner vs Joyce vs. Dubois ) or a veteran like Whyte whos not old. If he were to take such a fight, he's losing via KO.

    Mark my works, Wilder if he ever fights puncher on the way up or a top ten guy who can hit is going to be stopped again. The secret's out, he can't handle pressure or take it. There must be 30 heavies ranked in the top 50 that hit harder than Fury.

    Joshua is a class act. Watch and learn. It's very hard to be objective of ever certain, of course, but I have no stake in this. My opinion is that Joshua will absolutely raise his game v Fury. You're engaging in trash talk really. If you don't comprehend that Klitchko is a different level to the Wilders of the world there is no hope for you.
