    Had polls before, but we need a fresh one after AJ's very ordinary performance against Parker

    So now, Wilder v Joshua, who wins ?

    Why is I DONT KNOW not an option?. Cuz i dont know. its a 50-50 fight. Both can stop the other if they land flush, Wilder does not have a great chin like Parker and neither does AJ. Wilder is sloppy and Joshua has the better fundimentals so will that sloppiness give Joshua the more openings and the more chances to do damage 1st or will the unorthadox angles and equally long arms of Wilder create openings that Joshua dont see coming.

    Any outcome could happen in this one. Im saying Joshua cuz im a Joshua fan.

    Wilder has a punchers chance but he's too flawed to expect him to win any other way than a Hail Mary right hand.

    Joshua showed a good jab last night along with good control of distance when needed. He'd easily out box Wilder and I can't see Wilder taking the shots Parker or Takam did, his chin isn't as good as theirs.

    I kind of see it like Povetkin/Price. Just like Wilder, Price had the equalizer and it was almost seemed like it would be enough for a short moment but then Povetkin connected and reality came crashing down hard onto that fragile chin of Price's.

    If Wilder ever agrees to fight AJ, it will be tense and exciting while it lasts but eventually just like with Povetkin/Price the better all round fighter will come through the odd sticky moment to smash the glass chinned underdog.

    Against Parker he avoided the left hook all night. Same goes for Joshua against Wilder, but 3 rounds tops, and he wont have to be worried about that right hand anymore.

    early days but the last poll was very clear 80 percent AJ, 20 percent Wilder, now it's much closer which is great

    Before the fight, I was sure it was 99-1 in favor of Wilder. Now that AJ has shown being at 240 changes absolutely nothing about him being a stiff, slow one dimensional robot, it's the full 100. :dancer2:

    It's interesting that in combat sports, because of the infrequency of performance, every aspect of a peformance is analyzed

    Compare that to tennis which is also man v man but with much greater frequency. When a top player struggles but ultimately gets through against a lowly ranked player in the grand slam, it rarely diminishes their favourtism, as long as they are still in the tournament. it's a real shame that boxers cannot fight every week

    Lol at the poll being this close. Most either hate AJ or really DKSAB. AJ early KO against the bambi legged yank.

    I used to say AJ wins.. but i honestly think wilder would make him very uncomfortable and catch him with a few wild shots and either get him out if there or hurt AJ enough to shock him and make him fight scared

    80/20 to 60/40, that's a big change
