    Wilder would probably catch him but it would have to be Wilder without Malik Scott…. Malik is a horrible trainer.

    1/ We do it's well docuemted you casual.
    2/ Like I said check my post history and list my fanboyism....you can't because there isn't any but you're clearly a hater. that's your problem.
    3/ I don't need to save anybody. Like I stated I'm giving an opinion your response however shows how butthurt you are. So by your reasoning anyone who disagrees with you must be a fanboy? That just you projecting.
    4/ I don't even know what your talking about. The only turd as you put it was Wilder who feasted on bums his whole career intil he faced Fury/ who then battered him 3 times.

    You to Leeroy. nothing personal I just feel Joshua get's a lot of crap some of it justified some of it not.
    I just try and be balanced if everyone is hating.
    take it easy.

    I think you are speaking the truth.
    Look at who Joshua has fought then look at who Wilder has fought. Different league in terms of competition.

    I'd bet on Wilder. I think AJ is gunshy now, which is a shame. Past his prime.

    I've always favoured AJ and after watching an out of shape Fury with two bad elbows knock him out nothing has really changed that opinion. Yeah Wilder hits hard but so does AJ and I'll always favour the more skilled, well rounded, better schooled boxer over the crude puncher.

    King kong is a better technical boxer than AJ. The gunshy AJ doesn’t sit down on his punches anymore, so I guess him and and Ortiz has about the same punching power?

    Joshua

    I have always favoured Joshua up to this point.
    I think Joshua would win possibly before the halfway point and have won the majority of rounds before the ending.

    I think Joshua has the heavier punch and has shown how he can take a massive shot and come back (like against Klitschko).
    People mention Joshua's loss to Ruiz but I did hear (don't know how true it is) that he was still suffering effects from a KO in the gym.

    Why do you think Wilder has a better chin?
    Or more heart?

    I'm not saying Wilder doesn't have those attributes in abundance but asking what makes you think it is greater

    Question marks over both given recent performances but I think Joshua's superior boxing ability and more rounded skill set would still see him win this.

    Wilder never quit, he sucked it up and kept coming.

    Have a look at Joshua's record since he quit against Ruiz:

    -Danced around a 300lb Ruiz. Took zero risk.
    -Beat a 40 year old never that good Pulev who got iced in his "prime" nearly a decade ago by Vlad. Took minimal risk doing so
    -Got walked down and beat up by Usyk. Took minimal risk while losing.

    He's still not shown anything in the ring to indicate he's over the hill on the Ruiz quit job.

    Say what you will about Wilder, it's all probably fair. The fact is, however, that he came into the third fight with Fury looking to kill or be killed, guns blazing. He clearly has the edge if he and Joshua ever fight, which they won't.

    He did show tremendous courage. No question

    The reason I asked though is because I have read so many comments where people say Fury isn't a big puncher or that he can't punch.
    I'm not saying he can or can't but Joshua didn't quit either when taking massive punches from Klitschko and kept fighting and throwing back. I haven't seen Wilder face a big puncher like Klitschko and I would guess someone would keep coming more if the punches aren't as hard

    Wilder is pretty much a Dillian Whyte/Joseph Parker level operator. He gets absurdly overrated and hyped by some on here.

    It would be a competitive fight, but Joshua would have to be the favorite here.
