    I don’t see Wallin troubling Joshua. He’s just another no power fighter that Hearn has lined up to make Joshua look good and improve his shattered confidence.

    If Wallin wins, he won't just ruin AJ Vs. Wilder, than to send AJ into retirement, because AJ will no longer be recognized as an elite boxer. Of course, AJ could possibly fix things in the rematch.

    Joshua will overpower him, it's time for him to come back in style, but Wallin is a good fighter and his chin will carry him far through the fight...

    I think it'll be a narrow win for AJ. He might get the knock out in the back end of a competitive fight.

    One thing is for sure, even if he loses Eddie Hearnz will still back him to beat Usyk, Fury and a teleported 1966 Muhammed Ali 3 on 1.

    AJ doesn't need corruption to outbox Wallin. AJ is a good boxer, the problem is his anxiety stopping him from going for the KO.

    I have AJ 4 rounds against Southpaw Usyk in both fights. An additional round I could say AJ has a case for.

    Usyk is far superior than Wallin. Wallin will give him some trouble , but AJ should knock him out

    Aj probably wins late knock out after a tentative, competitive start

    Usyk didn't just harvest AJ's soul in those back to back defeats

    He also harvested his mojo

    Those defeats were not only extremely demoralizing

    They were confidence destroying

    AJ trained like never before for the rematch and he did everything he could to ensure no stoned was left unturned

    And it still wasn't enough

    That will break many mortal men

    But one gift that Usyk did bestow upon him was 24 rounds of invaluable experience facing the GOAT southpaw HW, P4P king, with elite of the elite skills and that should serve him well and stand him in good stead against the pound store Usyk Ottomatic

    Oh, dear. While i have no problem with people choosing Wallin, as everyone have different view and Boxing knowledge/understanding of the game, my problem is the narrative that somehow Wallin will outbox AJ and somehow they will screw him.
    Tell me a single win of AJ that ain't deserved, and that they gifted him the win, a single one ??? If you can't, than you need to stfu.
    Claiming Wallin will outbox AJ and will win it's fine, but don't talk that he will be robbed and bla, bla, bla.
    This is not a Hearn card, and Hearn is not promoting the event. So this accusation is beyond pathetic.
    It's Saudi, and Warren is playing co-promoter, partners. If you have used your brain for a second you would have known that there is a zero chance of that happening.

    Now on to the fight itself. AJ already beat Wallin 2 time already in the amateurs. There is nothing in Wallin that can suggest he can trouble AJ even slightest. I know it's hard to get it, as Fury was bloody mess by this none-puncher + Wallin hurt him bad in the 12 round, but AJ ain't Fury.

    AJ going to win every round, until he beats Wallin into submission and either KO or TKO him.
    AJ is literally better in every single skill department, and Wallin had nothing on him.

    Dec. 23th is coming soon, so we will see who is right and who has no f***** idea what he is talking about.

    The AJ from either Usyk fight comfortably UD's Wallin I think.


    It really is AJ's fight to win or lose if he can get the same mindset as he did with Usyk.

    Easier said than done, I know....

    I don't see it. Pretty sure Aj will start slow, but should find his groove to a clear win. a later TKO would not surprise me.

    This. Especially since they have not been title holders for years now. Why not fight each other then?

    Agree 100%.

    Any potential AJ v. Wilder fight has been declining in significance every year after 2018. We've moved on.

    Moral of the story: Don't let your fight "marinate" until flies are laying eggs in it.

    Agreed with the sentiments about Wilder v Aj losing lustre. But it's still a good and important fight for the HW landscape. Just not the mega fight it could have been 5 years ago.
