    If punchers chance is your only chance then you don't have much of one. There is a lot more to boxing than hitting hard.

    Joshua's always been the better fighter of the two, the more ambitious to prove himself, and the more willing to take risks against fighters he wasn't necessarily favoured to beat. Wilder deserves credit for getting in against Fury three times but aside from that his entire career is a portrait of a scared man lacking the confidence to justify his mouth's lofty claims. He's still got a few more fights left to notch up some decent wins, and now that his bubble's burst perhaps he'll be more willing to let it all hang out, but he's also a fighter who deluded himself into thinking he couldn't be beaten, and that's the type of mindset that can quickly have you heading south once the delusion meets the reality.

    I voted AJ as the better fighter, he clearly is, but let’s be real, Wilder smokes him.

    AJ has a bit more to his game but it means nothing if you end up on the floor.

    Wilder sparks him 7/8 times out of 10 if they fight.

    AJ has a better resume but is that really much to talk about considering how bad Wilder’s resume is?
    BOTH Wilder and AJ are mentally fragile Glass Jawed fighters. No trainer will ever be able to fix that. Ever.

    you think Wilder punches harder than Wladimir Klitschko

    So come on then, I’m open minded, name me all the top quality boxers that Wilders knocked out?

    There's nothing real about that prediction.

    How does he do that exactly when Joshua's proven to take a flush right hand from Wlad and Wilder gets jelly legged by Alfred Molina... Eric Molina.

    Stone-chinned Molina!

    Iron-jawed Szpilka!

    Tex Cobb Mk. 2 Duhaupas!

    Steel-mandible Washington!

    Totally-not-shot-or-last-minute-at-all Arreola!

    Impervious-to-jab-KDs Ortiz!

    Only fighter with a semi-decent chin that Wilder flatlined (Duhaupas wasn't actually dropped in their fight) was Breazeale. Everyone else had either been KOed before or would go on to get KOed multiple times. Although some people still seem to consider Luis Ortiz to have a good chin based on nothing I can fathom at all.

    1. Wilders resume is terrible. Everyone knows AND admits that. Claiming his resume is much worse than AJs is nothing special.

    2. Wilder was never hyped for his skills. He was hyped for his power. And his power is real and legit. Wilder is killing people with one touch. Guys like AJ or Fury don't do that. Everyone knows Wilder can't box to save his life. He lost rounds to Gerald Washington and Artur Szpilka. Do you think Fury would lose one round to those guys? Hell no.

    3. AJ is the better athlete. And AJ is the better boxer. Doesn't matter though if Wilder lands first.

    4. Stupid topic. You're mentioning facts. I doubt somebody would disagree with the fact that AJs resume > Wilders resume.

    There's not too much difference in their hype, really.
    But AJ is more of a hype job because a lot of people said that Wilder didn't have the upper skill level but had the punch and some other things.
    People were comparing AJ to the Klitschkos/Fury in SHW skill level.

    Also with WIlder, he has a lot of rematches but more names doesn't make the resume better it's the amount of top fights.

    Wilder fought Ortiz and Fury a total of five times, add Stiverne I and it's six fairly dangerous fights.

    AJ has Wlad, Povetkin, Parker, Uyskx2, Whyte if you want. Around six.

    Give or take it's not much different.

    With AJ, Wlad/Povetkin were almost done. Pulev was done with Covid so don't even count it. Ruiz I was not a dangerous fight on paper just because AJ lost, Ruiz was not as dangerous as Stiverne I whatever anyone says. Now we know what a short fat counterpuncher did to AJ, it's interesting to think whether he'd actually have got through Stiverne I when you see what Stiverne did to Arreola around that time. Arreola said, 'dude has really fast hands' and got done in by a fast counter hook. Wilder was defensive in that fight, I think AJ would have gone at him like Ruiz I and could have eaten a big counter.

    Wilder isn’t old, he won’t stop at one like Wlad

    Also he punches a lot harder than Ruiz, who had AJ on **** street

    Lol this is nonsense, ATG who? Fury? He aint p4p, Usyk is and he’s in the same division and has 3 of the belts. He took them from a better fighter than Wilder too
