Do you guys still think AJ vs Wilder isn’t a close fight?

    Not sure who would win, I would probably favour AJ but if the fight goes any longer than 6 rounds Wilder will stop AJ.

    A lot of you hate/dislike Wilder but don’ttake his attributes away from him, he has a sharp, snappy jab; crazy right hand; fast feet; good stamina and the confidence to cause AJ big trouble. Of course AJ has the attributes to cause Wilder issues too.

    Is the fight closer in your opinion?

    No. Wilder is regressing, and unless Joshua fights like an absolute muffin he should easily outbox and KO the malcoordinated buffoon. Takam lasted as long as he did because he's tough as nails, has a solid defence and played it safe. Wilder will try to wing shots from ludicrous angles and leave himself totally exposed. That leaves him twitching on the canvas within the first five rounds.

    Wilder would spark Takam.

    I've always felt this fight would be a shoot-out, first massive shot landed wins. Edge to Joshua because he's got the better skills.

    But yeah, it could go either way.

    If AJ wins it will be early, he will fade down the stretch otherwise.

    Always give a fair assessment with no bias. I think the early rounds favour AJ but with all that muscle anything past 6 Wilder will take over.

    I don't see any reason why Joshua would prolong things.

    You’re clearly biased. Takam was supposed to a knock over job just coz he took AJ deep he is suddenly this killer. Maybe AJ is overrated rather than Takam being underrated.

    Well Joshua's shots rattle wilder more ( obviously and style wise joshua wont be as tentative and he wont risk playing technical boxer with another knockout artist )... Its not a close fight bc if it is you are suggesting they both yave landed leather...well that tells me Wilder is knocked out then.

    Its one sided beat down by joshua or a knock out win for him..nothing can be competitive in this match up...one has to fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This. Takam would get laid out against Wilder. Takam was wide open.

    By competitive I mean either man can win it, not that they will land bombs left right and centre and withstand it.

    That could indeed be a worry for Joshua, I just doubt that this particular fight goes more than 6 rounds. Both hit frighteningly hard but don't have the best chins.

    I believe joshua will welcome wilder shots like he did Takam...On the other hand when joshua actually lands cleanly on wilder? I beleive its not going long.

    Is this competitive? Well not really...

    joshua has to really be day dreaming to lose this fight.
