    “AJ fights the guys Wilder wont”....so when did AJ fight Fury? Could easily say Wilder fights the guys AJ won’t

    Fury is a better combination puncher and was able to make Wilder miss horribly, his defensive skillset is far beyond Joshua. Alot of the shots that Wilder barely missed would probably land on Joshua. I still contend it's a whoever gets whom in serious trouble first type of fight. I do however favor Joshua to get Wilder into trouble first but I think its a 50/50 or 55/45 Joshua fight.

    I agree that it's more likely Joshua lands big first, going by their records Joshua tends to stop guys faster while Wilder often takes longer due to him being so easy to read hence why guys like Molina, Szpilka, Arreola, Duhaupas etc lasted longer but then got KO'ed by other boxers faster, despite Wilder hitting harder.

    But I think it's more 80/20 or 70/30 in favour of Joshua. While Fury is indeed more elusive than Joshua, Joshua isn't exactly there to be hit, he'll be out jabbing Wilder, he will be more dangerous on the counter, meaning Wilder can't just try and walk him down like he did Fury and even if Wilder does land first Fury showed Wilder's power isn't 100% guaranteed to end the fight if he lands flush. Is AJ's chin any worse than Fury's? I mean we've never seen AJ dropped by a cruiserweight or a journeymen like Fury.
