I'd STILL Pick Deontay Wilder To KO Anthony Joshua...

Would favour Joshua to land first as he's the better boxer. But you can't really count Wilder out, as basic as he is he will always have at least a punchers chance.

 

Agree 1000%

 

And the guys who hurt Wilder were Molina, Fury and Ortiz. Ortiz is probably the biggest puncher on there but clearly doesn’t hit hard as Klitschko and Povetkin. I think Wilders team have been keeping him away from dangerous punchers since witnessing what Klitschko did to him in sparring with head gear and 14 ounce gloves. Wilders packing a little glass in that chin and they knew it.

 

I still pick AJ to Ko him within a round.

When was the last time AJ fought somone as poor and a limited as Wilder? Probably When he fought Molina. I would back all the opponents AJ has faced since to beat Wilder with the excpetion of maybe Takam which could go either way.

There's a reason Wilder has avoided power punchers like the plague. I mean the likely fight with Chalres Martin, martin would be hardest puncher he fought after Ortiz says it all.

 

Someone’s getting knocked out but I think Joshua lands cleanly first.

 

When was the last time AJ took anyone out within a round?

He just doesn't fight in that fashion anymore and certainly not against Wilder

 

Joshua within the first few rounds. I think Before the fury fight Wilder stood a very good chance, if the Joshua camp weren’t sure on how to approach the fight and took on a defensive approach to win on points then that gives wilder 12 rounds to land his right hand.

Now however the standards been set and Wilder won’t/can’t change his ways. Joshua hits harder than fury and I think he would be able to punch straight through his guard and blow Wilder away now in a few rounds.

 

He did actually chase that immediate rematch with Fury in case you can't recall.

 

It's all just hypothetical now. Can't see Windmill getting a shot at Joshua. The next couple of years will likely be Joshua v Fury plus a couple of filler fights or mandos.

After his recent antics and lack of a decent fanbase Windmill is in the wilderness.

 

Pakkuman banned?!? Guess I missed something. Assuming JOKER will be posting more now.

 

If they ever met, I always figured AJ to beat DW. All DW has is a come-from-behind hail mary right hand. AJ has skills to box circles around DW.

 

This.

Wilder has a war crime of a right hand.

 

My thoughts exactly!

 

Joshua can't really afford a mistake in this fight whereas Wilder can maybe make two or three and hang on. Joshua would be on his bike and hope to pot shot and spoil, doesn't have the nuts to stand in the middle of the ring and put it on Wilder like Fury did.

 

Wilder would be stopped if AJ landed a left hook or uppercut. You seen what Molina did to his fragile mandible? Had his legs instantly turn into spaghetti.
