At what point will Anthony Joshua being four years younger than Wilder become a major advantage?

Maybe in 5-6 years, until that it won't make any difference in my opinion.

Wilder hasn't fought many rounds, he ended 19 of his 40 fights in the first round, there is not much wear and tear
at the moment and his athleticism is far superior to any other heavyweight, means that even when he declines a
bit he will still have that advantage and he will gain experience to balance it out.

 

Joshua has more experience against top fighters.

 

Give him 2 or 3 years and Wilder will be done, finished. If he even makes it that far in his career, he'll probably be beaten by then. It will only be a 1 or 2% difference in movement, reactions, nothing major. But it will be enough to cause him problems and give him losses. His game relies on that movement so much, it improves the unpredictability he has. Once he loses that he's there to be broken down. This isn't no Klitschko who got to 37,38-ish before starting to encounter problems. It will come earlier with Wilder cause he doesn't have the same kind of boxing brain as someone like Wlad.

 

The warning signs will be when Wilder starts making irrational statements or crazy threats such as wanting to cripple someone in front of their young child or wanting a body on his record. Often this takes place alongside strasnge and unwise fashion decisions, comments indicating potential schizophrenic impulses, split personalities or references to oneself in the third person. That's when age related dementia can be diagnosed.

 

Even with his athleticism, his flaws are glaringly obvious. When he loses even a step, he's gonna be in trouble.

 

Wilder is prime now but give it another 2-4 years and we'll likely see him decline at some point during this period, between the ages of 35-37.

 

Wilder should've been the man post-Vlad era.

The one who would expose the myth that was Ortiz, and then use his youth to beat the likes of Pulev/Povetkin better than Wlad did.

Someone with his skill set, which relies so much on his youth, should have taken down Wlad/Vitali/Haye, and Fury/Joshua shouldn't be an issue.


Sadly, he's now going to be exposed by Joshua/Fury by either fighting and losing to them......
Or never fighting them.

 

Bear in mind that life and death struggle with the legendary Nichols tools years off Wilder. In reality he's nearing 40.

 

everyday this fight does not happen AJs chances of winning increase and Wilder's diminishes.

 

It's not so much the age as the number of fights.

Wilder really has little mileage on him so it's the more fights Joshua gets is what the difference is bc Wilder is at his peak now in 40 fights.

 

Well interesting question, I just hope they meet each other well before that takes place.

Man that is a interesting fight.
