    Would be a don't blink type of fight.

    Both fighters nervous.

    If AJ is too wary he gets taken out, if he can face him head on and put Wilder on the back foot he could take Wilder out early.

    If I had to bet though I'd bet on Wilder by KO but not with a great deal of conviction

    Forget the beating Fury put on Wilder.

    Joshua is no Fury.

    As much as i hated Wilders nonsense after fury put it on him, i still do believe he absolutely sparks Joshua.

    Wilder will simply time joshua and when he cracks one on that chin it is as good as over.

    Both lost their aura's in the last two years

    It will be good and a exciting build up but it lost that edge as they didnt pounce when it was hot

    Would back Joshua to land big first, so he would probably get the KO/TKO.

    Still pretty much a pick'em fight though.

    Agree with this AJ needs to be confident and go after Wilder from the get go. He is more skilled and has the power to put Wilder down. If AJ tries to be to cautious he will end up getting caught by a big shot from Wilder and KO'd he can't avoid Wilder's right hand for 12 rounds as he doesn't have the chin, defensive skills and heart of Tyson Fury.

    To be fair you wouldn't fancy Wilder avoiding getting tagged either for 12 rounds, even if Joshua fought cautiously. Two absolute glass cannons going at it. Would be great.

    I don't think it would be that tense, I don't think it would last that long to be. I think it would prove to be AJ easiest and quickest win from Molina. As AJ stated, Wilder isn't an elite fighter and there's over half a dozen guys that he has avoided that would beat in a dominating fashion.

    Now AJ vs Usyk is a tense fight.

    Agreed. I wouldn't fancy Wilder's chances against Briedis and Okolie.

    Even matchup. Both have lost via tko. Both are mentally weak. Both have power though Wilder more so while Joshua has better boxing skills-which isn't saying much.
    I'd like to see it. High drama in the buildup and the actual fight.

    Don't think that's fair to say of AJ. He came back from a loss, he has been on the verge of losing a couple of times and fought on. He took a hammering from Wlad at like 27 years old and fought through it and won.

    I don't think mentally weak is a label I'd give to AJ. He seems driven, motivated and willing to see facts as they are. Wilder is more just mentally unstable then anything else.

    Just like he did with Wallin?? Or Pianeta? Or nandrolone? Or do you mean he actually "blows" through coke again? Please specify

    Wilder will always have a punching chance against anyone but AJ is several levels above him technically. He doesn’t have Fury levels or boxing ability but is still way ahead of Wilder. Also AJ has genuine power compared to Fury who hasn’t really shown any evidence of having so could see AJ dealing with him a lot quicker and more spectacularly. He can always get sparked though but when people use the Ruiz fight as an example they usually fail to recognise Ruiz is also a good boxer. AJ would have to walk on to one
