If AJ or Wilder were around in the 60s, we would look at them today as destroyers

Oh certainly AJ would run over Machen, Folley, Williams and Patterson etc Liston stands a chance they probably have a trilogy… depends on how Ol Sonny handles a guy the size of Joshua he also never had to win against an good opponent he didn’t basically outclass in every way.

 

AJ and Wilder can both hurt and knock out most of the guys from that period if they land on them. 'If' being the operative word though, as I suspect the modern superheavyweights can't match the pace or skills of the smaller top heavyweights from the past. The longer the fight goes on, the more likely it is to slip away for Wilder and AJ. One trick pony Wilder will lose to anyone he can't land his right-hand on - Liston in particular will ruin him I think. AJ has more variety but still lacks fluidity compared to a lot of the old timers and I can't see him fighting at a high pace for a longer fight. I suspect that a lot of these older fighters probably fought at a pace closer or identical to Uysk - and could do it for fifteen rounds.
