    Could AJ have lasted 12 rounds against what would have been prime Wilder had that fight came to fruition?

    Whoever lands first....

    I'd have favoured Wilder. Whether people like it or not i'd argue prime Wilder was the most explosive HW ever - by definition the distance he could cover in such a short amount of time with power was a league of its own.

    They both had vulnerabilities to expose. Could have gone either way.

    Aj drops wilder early,but wilder gets up to finish him

    Wilder is terrible, but I think he was all wrong for Joshua

    Yes, Joshua doesn't respond well to fighters who hit hard. That's why he's exclusively fought old men and boxers rather than punchers.

    Nope, Wilder is even worse. But let everyone overrated that fraud again.

    He couldnt have lasted 12 rounds, but he wouldnt necessarily have had to.

    I think AJ is the better overall boxer but h2h i'd slightly favour Wilder. Its a close fight though and largely depends on who lands first.

    Wilder pre Fury would have have brutally knocked Joshua out inside of three rounds if not earlier ! Let’s not forget that the Wilder v Joshua fight could not be made so Fury stepped in and went over to America whilst not fully fit and was robbed on the cards. Did Wilder and Fury both ruin each other in there Trilogy ? I honestly believe so.

    Wilder would have KO'd Joshua. No doubt.

    Is this a real question? Wilder is garbage. I hope they make it now.

    Not like Wilder. Wilder's big wins just aren't there.

    Wilder makes him look like an ATG by comparison. I've been following boxing for nearly 45 years and I don't think I've seen a rated fighter with a worse resume than Wilder's. It's THAT bad.

    You never really get to appreciate how moronic this forum is until the 48 hours after a big match. Then it's awesome.
