    Latter half of his record. Wilder is losing most his fights on any honest mans card before he gets his lucky shot in. He is no good he is just lucky.

    I heard a rumour from some guy I met at the bus stop who said that his uncle's friend's pal knew for a fact that Wilder priced himself out of the AJ fight and needed a keg of beer to get him to sleep at night. Oh yes.

    What are you talking about? Wilder almost threw 60 punches a round for 11 rounds against duhaupus without any sighns of tiring. Your false equivalence because AJ gasses is funny and desperate.

    No. He just understands the potential event a fight between him and Wilder could be. At the moment you can feel the anticipation building and Wilder is becoming more well known here in the states. He’s obviously the biggest US name in the heavyweight division and Joshua is the biggest star in the heavyweight division so a unification bout between the two is bound to happen. If Wilder really believes Joshua is scared of him, it will be detrimental for him to come into the fight with that mindset. Joshua and Wilder have to respect each other’s power as big men. Either guy has the kind of pop that can end things in the blink of an eye.

    Do I just ignore that fact that YOU think I want AJ to win the fight?

    I'm looking at this fight objectively

    Because if I wanted to be biased all i'd do is point out that Wilder... Against his toughest opponent averaged just over 30 punches thrown a round? That his work rate in the opening rounds is pedestrian compared to Joshua. In fact, in the first 5 rounds of Wilder's biggest challenge he threw 46 power punches. In the 5th round alone Joshua threw 42.

    Don't make me laugh, objectively...please. Wilder has already demonstrated he can throw bombs for 12 rounds without gassing and that doesn't change just because his gameplan has him throwing less punches. You are, in a biased way, trying to downplay one of Wilder's biggest strengths in comparison to AJ, who spits out mouth pieces and needs the ref help to catch a break.

    Never ducked one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. The pinnacle of Wilders career so far after 40 fights is beating a fat old Cuban.

    A good old Cuban to be fair, altho he couldn't knock down Deontay like Worm Nichols and Hard Rockin Harry. Maybe ranks #3 on Wilder's resume.

    You know Joshua’s scared when his fans talk more about Wilders worth than the actual potential of the fight lmao.

    If you really think one of Wilder's biggest strengths is his work rate then I really don't know what else to say.

    That isn’t being biased. Wilder was fighting a cagey southpaw. Everyone isn’t Aaron Pryor where they can walk in on a southpaw and average what they average against orthodox fighters as well. And Wilder still got the ko. Has Joshua even faced a decent southpaw? The last southpaw that he fought I believe kod him (in the AMs) not trying to be funny.
