I know I'm in the minority but I think Wilder takes it. It's weird because before the weld fight I thought that AJ would win. AJ needs to work on his gas tank and learn to hold when hurt. Wilder has a devastating right hand and he generally stays on the outside and jabs. I think the fight will be close but Wilder chins him late in the fight.
I could easily see AJ winning too though. It's a pretty 50/50 fight for me, but if I had to put money on one of them, I would pick Wilder.
AJ should take it, he's been tried and tested and come out of the storm a winner....that said, a win like that can take a lot out of a fighter, if AJ keeps his head on straight and doesn't blow himself up with Coke and whole hog BBQ , then hopefully he'll reign for a long time. Dude is a class act, he still has some polishing left to do in his game, but he has the skills to do it.
This would be a 5-10 minute adrenaline rush for the spectator.
Bring it on
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
I would have to pick Joshua. If Wilder catches him it'll be over but I see AJ staying patient waiting for the openings that Wilder will undoubtedly present.
Yesterday I was listening to an American phone-in thingy on youtube, loads and loads of American fans were picking Wilder to spark out Joshua, all based on him hitting the deck against Wlad. Everyone kept saying "Wilder would have killed AJ after knocking him down."
Even ignoring how faulty that logic is (does he have the ability to land the shot) - Is it really a given that Wilder finishes AJ if he hurts him? He couldn't finish Stiverne and took double the rounds to get rid of Molina and Arreola after chinning them. Duhaupas took him 11 rounds then was totally outclassed and decapitated against the cheating cunt Povetkin.
Boxing fans (rightfully) judge fighters on the level of their competition, however, it just goes to show how quickly perceptions are changed. Joshua getting floored against a bona-fide, sparko punching elite boxer is enough to ignore that Wilder has never even ventured into elite territory yet.
I'm not certain Wilder beats a hard-as-nails, fearless, heavy handed guy like Breazeale or Whyte let alone Klitschko.
