    Huge Tyson Fury fan here but after this fight I have to admire Wilder. Might not be the brightest bulb, but damn the guy has heart

    If heart is courage, Joshua is far superior to Wilder in that way.

    Wilder has avoided several of the people Joshua has already fought and defeated: Klitschko, Parker, Takam, Povetkin, Whyte and Breazeale. And Wilder is not only afraid to step in the ring with Joshua, he's now refusing to have the rematch with Fury in the UK.

    Wilder is tall and strong, but he has neither the skill nor the heart of a champion. He'll likely rematch Arreola, Szpilka or Stiverne for his next fight.

    Both fighters have big heart inside and outside the ring. I haven't seen any quit in either fighter so saying that one has a bigger heart than the other is pure speculation and totally irrelevant.

    Both proved they have a good heart. Including Fury.

    Both have shown heart during their careers. Wilder when dropped by Sconiers and when hurt by Ortiz, though he did get help from the ref vs Ortiz.

    Joshua showed heart by recovering from being hurt by a Whyte left hook, which has shown to be a deadly punch since and of course when he went life and death vs Wlad. Joshua also has shown heart and desire by stepping up far sooner than Wilder did, Martin fight was a risk at the time, then of course stepping in with Wlad.

    As for who's shown more, I'd say Joshua. He's been in with more quality fighters and was pushed far harder and took more punishment vs Wlad and was far closer to being stopped and didn't need a ref to give him a breather. But who's to say Wilder also can't dig as deep when needed too, it's just he hasn't had too having only stepped up his opposition in the last 2 fights.

    AJ size is bigger than Wilder size so the heart of the former should be bigger than the heart of the latter.

    Yeah I think they both do, it’s difficult to say exactly who has more. They have both shown they have the heart and determination needed to be champ. Wilder has been near knocked out and also outclassed but stayed determined, you can’t say he is weak minded, and AJ gritted out a win against wlad showing he had the heart to get up from a knock down.

    How do you differentiate from that? That’s what makes thier fight interesting, neither will be willing to give ground and will be very determined. I’m more wondering who will choke under the pressure, I’m kind of leaning towards wilder in that case, although determined he looked lost at times against fury.

    Both have huge hearts. I have no doubts wilder is a true fighting warrior just like aj.

    Unfortunately wilder has Finkel guiding his career protecting him and making look like a scared chicken cherry picker.

    ...the ****? Aj fights the best fighters he can get his hands on, and Wilder fights (and sometime loses to) people that are medically unfit. How is this a question?
