An AJ vs wilder fight sounds exciting because both are big punchers. Neither are great fighters but the fight would be fun.
Voted Joshua-Wilder, only because we've been so starved for good HW championship fights for so many years..... and then we got a great one in Joshua-Wlad..... that I'm hungry for more. Crawford-Garcia was a close second. Loma-Rigo was last. Loma's too big for Rigo.
I'm shocked Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux is leading this poll
For me that's the least interesting of the four fights.
I'm not sure why so many people are writing Wilder off against AJ
Let's not forget that AJ was rocked by Whyte (who is utterly shit)
Wilder is unbeaten in 38 fights and I can't remember him being hurt
He's also KO'ed 37 people which is something that shouldn't be overlooked.
Joshua isn't the hardest to hit and his chin is a bit suspect
Rumours of him being dropped by Price in the gym
Evidence of him being dropped by Whyte in the amateurs
And of course being heavily put down by Klitschko.
Forget rumours, we have seen Wilder rocked numerous times and how poor does his technique look?
If AJ gets hit by his wild punches AJ deserves to be knocked out, they are so obvious that any decent fighter would avoid them.
Wilder mixed up nice short shots between the swings
In fact most of his knockouts have come on short right hands.
Who's rocked Wilder? I've never seen him badly hurt
I've seen him struggle in fights but never troubled.
So many examples

That video doesn't convince me Joshua would win
It'd be a good fight and if they did it soon
It could make for a good series of fights.
We could do with another trilogy in Boxing
Both are young enough to give us a few good fights.
I have a feeling that AJ would knock out Wilder cold and there would be no reason for a rematch never mind a trilogy. As I have said before Wilder is just Seth Mitchell but with a title.Quote:

Since turning professional he’s won 6-0 in world title fights
And 38-0 overall with 37 knockouts... in other words he's a lot better than Mitchell.
Wilder has a fragile chin as bad as Amir Khan.Quote:

He's not been dropped let alone stoped in 38 fights :confused:Quote:

Wobbled plenty of times sparring, amateurs and professional. It is known that he can not take a punch. Wilder has got by because of poor opponents, good match making and luck.Quote:

If he's not first then he's definitely second.
The heavyweight pool is very poor and is just getting worse. AJ would never have fought for a world title with the limited rounds he has had in the 1990's. Wilder would have been knocked out by a Mercer.Quote:
