    My thoughts exactly.

    "Anthony didn’t watch that fight and say, ‘Oh, I see weaknesses,’ everybody has already seen the weaknesses. Look at the shots Wilder took.

    “The difference is you’re not talking about an old man in Anthony Joshua. You’re talking about someone that when you’re hurt, he’s going to pounce on you and you’re going to get hit by 20 shots you don’t even see coming and it will be over.

    “But it’s a brilliant fight, a fight you might have to watch through your fingers. Because Joshua is completely fearless, more fearless than Wilder, who has that element in him as well.” Eddie hearns

    The arrogance of this pompous juiced up bodybuilder astounds me. Eddie kept old grandpa Ortiz away from Joshua, because he was scared what the senior citizen would do to poor Anthony. It was Deontay's admirable courage that ended the threat of King Kong from the heavyweight division. Thats something these chumps better recognise!

    Wilder will survive the first clean punch but Joshua won't.

    honestly. both hit hard and both don't take a huge punch, so anything can happen. But if you go by who is bigger, which means a lot when both guys punch hard and don't take a punch, Joshua is bigger meaning he will probably win.

    Everyone thinks Wilder is beatable. He has very poor boxing skills.

    Then Wilder lands that right hand, and its all over.

    And Wilder may be lacking in every area of boxing, but he always lands that big right. When that big right lands the opponent goes to jelly, and he knows how to finish despite the windmilling.

    Hearn and AJ know this of course, and know in their heart of hearts this is the toughest test out there.

    Well, it is a simple fight.
    AJ will outbox him, dominate him, hit him a LOT... BUT.... If Wilder lands flush it's sleepy time for AJ.

    It amazes me how people seem to disregard Joshua's power.

    Joshua's power is just as proven, arguably more so, given he's got a 100% stoppage record and has stopped a higher standard of opponent, often for the first time in their careers.

    It's a case of Power + Skill v Power.....

    So it's no surprise that Joshua is seen as the comfortable favorite.

    Despite the windmilling?
    I think his finishing ability is heavily linked to his ability to windmill

    Why do these guys think Wilder takes out AJ in 3-4 rounds? Basically as soon as he lands?
    That's laughable, he will be absolutely TERRIFIED to engage the first few rounds, he even did this with old man Ortiz.

    Most predicted Wilder to KO the heart patient early and that didn't happen. In fact similar to Szpilka fight, Wilder behind on scorecards and came back via late stoppage.
