What makes Molina better than Johnson? The only other rated fighter he fought demolished him. His last fight before Wilder he beat Raphael Zumbano Love in eight rounds, the same bloke Joshua ironed out last month inside 4 minutes.
Molina wouldn't last two rounds with Joshua even fighting to survive like he did against Wilder.
In fact Joshua is a decent win away from having comparable form to Wilder.
Depends on Joshua's chin, if it's decent then I pick him to stop Wilder and if it's shit then it's a pick 'em with either guy able to knock the other out. Depends who lands the big shot first.
Taking shit chins out of the equation then I pick Joshua because he just seems like the better fighter with better fundamentals.
Too much unknown at the moment. The dynamic is great though, one likes to box/punch from range and the other likes it a bit closer, so would be the stalker - a lot depends on Wilder's ability dissuade Joshua, which of course depends solely on Joshua's chin, I'm sure Wilder will find it. If we assume he has a reliable chin and the ability to fight effectively past 6 rounds then I think he beats Wilder to a standstill.
If not then he gets dropped and stopped.
Don't agree with all this "Joshua's beard has to past the test" stuff. It'll be his ability to avoid getting chinned which will determine his level of success.
Giant hitters like Wilder and Price and Wlad could iron out anyone. It doesn't mean you have a china chin.
We always tend to ask for too much, always after the perfect package. It's heavyweight boxing and all it takes is one decent clump on the chin. Our current proper World heavyweight champion and one of the most dominant figures in the sport over the last decade has been knocked senseless plenty enough to endorse that.
Well, I am thinking that stylistically, Joshua has a chance of getting tagged first and/ or if not more often (I don't see him as elusive), hence why I figure the chin thing is a major factor, especially against a long rangy banger like Wilder.
Wilder would beat AJ by taking him past 4 rounds and stopping him. Too quick too soon for AJ.
It's impossible to say. Joshua hasn't been tested at all and hasn't faced a puncher. So far Joshua has been able to walk straight through everyone he's fought. Until we see him fight someone with power who he needs to be wary of, we've no idea how savvy he is or how he would approach a dangerous opponent.

Both at this point. But I'll tell you one thing...Joshua has the set and future between the two :-X Far better self awareness and skill
There is no hurry AJ has time on his side, Wilder on the other hand would surprise he was still
