    Parker will be a tough test to be sure, but the guy did arguably lose to Andy Ruiz & Hughie Fury. Both were razor close that could have just as easily went the other way, without too much complaining. Joshua fights smart, and doesn't get drawn into a brawl he should win easy, though this might be the first fight he doesn't get the stoppage.

    It might just turn out that way. I doubt many people would really be surprised if Joshua dominates and then stops him within a few rounds.

    Then again it wouldn't be all that surprising if Joshua ate a right hand and got KTFO.

    Will be one of those fights where you don't want to blink because someone could get tagged and hurt any second.

    I always think about about Wilder opponents and how people are always commenting that (so and so) "took a risk that he didn't have to take and paid for it".

    Here's what no one will say publicly. Of course guys fight dangerously against Wilder. IMO the reason is that they more or less know that they're fighting against Wilder, the referee, and judges. If it isn't true, it doesn't matter. That is the perception. So what's the result? The perception changes their style and they take risks that they normally wouldn't because they feel that they can't win a decision.

    This will definitely not be the case at the highest level against guys like Fury or Joshua. For Joshua probably catches him and hurts him, Wilder stays hurt, and Joshua finishes him. Fury just outboxes him all night long and the scoring will be too obvious.

    Joshua is much more skilled than Wilder, stronger, hits harder with both hands, Wilder has a windmill right hand, that's all. Joshua should have no problem knocking out Wilder. Tyson Fury will toy with Wilder and out box Joshua as well, but Wilder will be really easy fight.............

    That has nothing to do with the post you quoted. That Anthony Joshua should be concentrating on the guy he is fighting in 3 weeks time, and not Wilder.

    I can see why you think Joshua is Blast-able...
    But I am certain that Wilder is not Blastable...

    You don't just blast a man with a big heart and big guns to blast away

    Joshua weakness is his stamina, even if you have heart and power, stamina is your logistics and a matter of time you will run out of ammo and get clipped

    The elephant in the room here is Joshua's gas tank. Wilder does not tire as quick and fights at a higher pace than the likes of Klitschko and his power does not fade late either.

    Joshua could be puffing for gas quicker than he did against Wladimir (RD5 before the miraculous second wind) and if he does Wilder is going to go for the kill.

    It will be the reason he never became an ATG by his hard core fans...

    Once exposed by a mentally strong elite boxer, even average boxers will be able to withstand the early storm and stop Joshua, it will become much easier. It will take an ATG level mental toughness to survive Joshua early onslaught, a late round KO is certain.

    If Parker can survive Joshua early attack and the British stoppage, he might be the man to do it

    Wilder will stop the stiff one. The world knows Joshua and Hearn are scared.

    Because he’s talking about Wilder. You know how Wilder was talking about Aj and you guys said that he isn’t thinking about Ortiz?

    Wilder fights at a higher pace?

    He was outworked, outmoved and outlanded by a short, pretty fat 40 year old.

    If anything, Joshua needs to fight slower like Wlad did.
