Would Wilder still stop AJ?

Wilder was NEVER stopping Joshua!
Tell me a top Class fighter that Wilder has Knocked Out?

If journeymen (being kind here) like Spilka, Washington & Ortiz were comprehensively outboxing Wilder deep into the rounds then you can pretty much accept that Joshua would have done the same. Difference is that Joshua’s punches would have sparked Wilder long before the middle rounds

 

Based on what?

 

Well, if the Wilder from the Parker fight gets the AJ from the Ngannou fight, then no, Wilder will get beat I think.

 

Joshua is a counterpuncher, or at least he has some sneaky traps and ploys in his arsenal. Wilder would have always gotten KTFO after falling out of balance. There is not a single bout in which he was not painfully open for an educated, hard-hitting fighter who is not a geriatric patient.

His best chance was probably exploding on some cocky, hype-drunk version of Joshua, but then again—he would never look past the dosser like he did against Ruiz, and Wilder doesn't have the counterpunching nuance and precision to land on a temple/ear and send Joshua's soul back to England, asking his corner what's going on.

I find it funny how Joshua might have gotten past the first Mexican baptising if Eddie the Snake didn't push the nice guy persona. Joshua was too comfortable celebrating and congratulating Andy after the fight. Too eager to fall into the societal safety net woven by fans enamored by his nice guy persona and Adonis physique. Well, when you show the world just how nasty and mean you can be, when you put your ego first, and when you dare to play the antagonist (not necessarily a villain) to the aspects of the world you find pathetic, unproductive, or unacceptable—then competence, dedication, and grit are your only options, because you know at your core that you are falling out of the tree straight to hell without anybody trying to catch you.

 

It would be like Crawford vs Spence.

 

Remember prime wilder almost got KO'd by nearly 39 year old Luis Ortiz.

The referee suspiciously let him get away with a lot.

1) That fight could have easily been stopped by another ref for a TKO
2) Wilder got extra time to recover in the round after he almost lost
3) Wilder threw Ortiz against the ropes and not even a point deducted.

Wilder won, but if Ortiz can rock Wilder that badly, AJ should be able to do so.

 

I was never sure that Wilder would stop AJ in the first place - after the Parker fight? No chance.
