AJ vs Wilder Pre 2019

Klitschko does not hit harder than Wilder

 

Pulev

 

Pulev blocked a lot of clean shots with his face before that though.

Thinking about it, there aren't many big punchers in the Heavyweight division right now. Guys like Joshua and Whyte obviously hit hard but i wouldn't really call either of them knock out specialists.

Wilder is the only guy who can pull a KO punch out of nowhere imo.

For me thats a one punch KO regardless of previous blows

 

Isn't every HW fight one punch away from victory?


AJ will always be a stylist problem for wilder.

 

Taken in a vacuum in 2015, I would have given Wilder the slight edge. But with each passing year Joshua was getting experience against a variety of styles at a higher level than Wilder was. That experience improves a fighter. So Wilder's chances diminished year on year, and Joshua became the favourite from 2016 onward.

 

Used to think Joshua 70-30. Now I think it's 50-50 or leaning slightly towards Wilder.

 

Boxing skills - Joshua by a large margin
Size/Strength - Joshua (weight)
Height/Length - Wilder
Power - Wilder
Speed - Even
Chin - Wilder
Heart - Wilder

 

AJ has beaten half dozen guys better than Wilder whilst Wilder has never beaten anyone close 5o AJs level. There's a reason why Wilder's team avoided the AJ fight like the plague and is the biggest duck in boxing history.

AJ would make quick and easy work of Wilder back then and now.

 

Wlad, Povetkin, Whyte, Parker, Ruiz and Pulev. All better resumes (much better in the case of the first 4) and would beat Wilder in a potential fight.
