I still favor AJ over Wilder, but if Wilder makes AJ work then AJ will gas out

    Joshua isn't a particularly skilled fighter, but he has more skill than the skill devoid Wilder. They both have power. If their fight turns into even a semi active bout Joshua will be in trouble if he doesn't get Wilder out of there early.

    My prediction is that AJ finishes Wilder before the 6th round. But if Wilder makes it past the middle rounds and Joshua hasn't been just potshotting then AJ is gonna be in massive trouble.

    He's a 250 pound guy and all that muscle is going to be killing his gas tank. All that size needs oxygen. Wilder just came in at 214 and he has really good stamina for a HW.

    Wilder vs Miller to decide who is the American Contender. Winner gets Joshua

    When Wilder is up against somebody that can outbox him his work rate is very low. He will fight at Hoshua’s pace, and doubt it will go past the fourth round.

    Wilder is a freak.AJ has the power to KO wilder even if he lost a stone of muscle. AJ would need a long camp,doing weight gradually. Coming in at 235/240 tops.You can't gass against Wilder.He'll wait and take you out later rounds.

    I could see Joshua dictating the pace. Wilder should try and force the workrate higher.

    No need for that, Wilder is the contender, Miller is walking ground chuck against either AJ or Wilder.

    Wilder will be jabbing and moving until half way,then get closer once AJ slows a bit.Then he will take a few chances.

    I think if Wilder tries to force the work rate higher he will leave himself open to getting countered.

    Wilder won't force the work rate.He will just jab and move,forcing AJ to work.And when AJ slows,he will pounce

    If Joshua sets the pace he will not tire. Wilder will try and make it go long though, I doubt he will make it that far.

    Exactly and Joshua will be setting the pace he is comfortable with, so will not tire. I think this is a easy four round fight for Joshua.

    If DW can keep that jab in AJs face anytime he comes forward, keeps his right hand up eventually AJ will get desperate and start unloading bombs opening himself up and its night night time. AJ needs to get DW out of their asap or hes in trouble because of DWs power and better stamina.

    Joshua only unloads bombs when he has the fighter hurt, he does not get desperate.

    I think AJ will be chasing shadows for 4 rounds.Thats not good for a big man.Wilder will set the pace imho.
