    As someone who backed AJ for years in that one not sure he has it anymore. But they plan on having a few more tuneups and he looks better... Might lean more towards AJ, although with nowhere near the same level of confidence as before.

    All the AJ crackpots seem to think AJ is like a prime 88 Mike Tyson who will walk forward bob and weave and walk through Wilder...

    LOL. Nah.

    Gotta lean toward Wilder after tonight. AJ still has power but he takes too damn long to unleash it, and he gets hit too much in the meantime. You don't wanna be either of those things with Wilder.

    Of course by the time they fight, if all goes according to plan, Wilder will have been out of the ring for 15 months and will be 38 years old. Might be enough rust to give AJ time to get into a groove, but I doubt it. Power's usually the last thing to go anyways, and that's what Wilder relies on.

    So, I'd predict Wilder right now.

    Even if the fight is made it's really hard to see AJ getting to fight night without having a monumental panic attack. Might be better for his mental health to stick with the world class bouncer circuit, next up Junior Fa.

    Joshua also has more enough power to hurt Wilder and is the better boxer. People are forgetting the struggles Wilder has had with totally mediocre fighters. But doesn't matter what tools you have if the spirit is gone.

    At his best AJ beats Wilder. But the version now is too hittable.

    Wilder smokes him.

    Wilder KO most likely but it’s a case of whoever lands first. Always has been.

    If a slow puncher like Helenius can bruise him up then Wilder will easily land and knock him out.

    AJ is too gun shy. Wilder will catch him with something big and KO him.

    I think Eddie's going to rush him into the Wilder fight. AJ isn't going to sell with this new style and who knows how long Wilder is going to be around.

    Based on tonight, Wilder kills him.

    But Wilder hasn't fought for ages, so we don't know if he's lost a step.

    Can you just imagine Joshua fighting with that hesitancy against Wilder ! After that performance against Helenius for now at least Joshua wants to forget all about Wilder next. Not that I’ve thought Joshua could ever beat Wilder .
