    So you are saying he's never faced a puncher or someone who pressured him?

    Dubois is good, but let's not act like he's a different type of fighter.

    At that age, it's always valid in a contact/violent sport. A 35+ year old can look to be on point in one game/bout and months later look like he should have retired after his last showing.

    Now I'm not saying AJ is washed, but he definitely wasn't as "sharp" as he once was. And let's not overblow being sharp vs Ngannou and Wallin (not Walking...lol). Wallin is a fighter who has never fought for a world title during his entire career and only had four 12 round bouts under his belt going into the fight. He was far from an elite fighter, is my point. Ngannou.....well, we are talking about a man who has only fought in the ring (boxing) just once going into the fight and it was a loss to an out of shape, unfocused Tyson Fury. That's like Floyd bragging about being sharp vs McGregor.... victories over MMA fighters LEARNING how to box vs one of the greatest boxers in the sport is nothing to beat your chest about.

    Not the best time, but still a good fun fight.

    Would be big again if Wilder beats Chisora or White and Joshua beats Dubois, then it would be AJ first title defense.

    It's too late now. The fight that could have been for the holder of all the belts (undisputed champion, but not the lineal champion), is now a fight to enter the HW Top 10.

    If Turki is reading- book the fight for christmas eve please. Pay a bit extra to have Wilder revert to his old style of trash talk.

    Might not be a bad match up. They both looked like deer in headlights in their last fights.

    Eddie Hearn needs to speak to his dad Barry and see if he recommends marinating Joshua-Wilder a bit longer.
