Has Wilder suddenly become the “A Side” against AJ?

[El Kabong]

Here is the thing. Wilder fought who everyone considered a real threat and still won. I feel like people just keep discrediting him. I definitely agree that he lacks tons of skill, but he has passed every test to at least prove that he belongs with AJ. AJ to me hasn’t really proven much more than Wilder.

AJ beat Wladimir Klitschko...like it or not that means a great deal more than a decision over Stiverne or this win over Ortiz. AJ also got up to win, that's a big deal.

I never rated Wlad that highly so to me it’s a solid win for sure and better than the Ortiz win, but not enough to prove that AJ is on another level. Honestly, I think that Wilder could have beaten Wlad too at that time. We will never know though.

2nd longest reigning heavyweight champion EVER and it's not a big deal to beat him? OK to each their own. As an American I'd love to see the belts back here in the states and there be another fighter to get excited about. Wilder could very well be that guy, but I just think AJ is more polished and in a fight I trust the person who takes the time to aim rather than the person who fires off wildly from the hip.


The main issue for us as fans is the AJ-Wilder fight MUST happen and it MUST happen immediately like the entire sport off boxing depends on it. Undefeated vs Undefeated giant vs giant power vs power these kind of fights must happen if boxing is to remain relevant otherwise why fucking watch the sport. I think it could be an amazing event especially if they can piggy back some other top notch fights on that card to make it a once in a lifetime event as it should be.

AJ brings way more money than Wilder and has more belts so AJ is the A side no question.
This could be over in a few rounds when it happens and for me it's 50 - 50 who wins.
Might come down to who can climb off the floor and keep on going, this could be a real Heavyweight classic

I agree its 50/50 I constantly make an argument for one to win it and then counter it with an argument for how the other can win it.
I do think though that when one of them get hit they will stay hit, when AJ was dropped and when Wilder was hurt the old men didn't have the energy to finish it, that won't be the case in this fight, as soon as one of them it in danger it will be finished pretty sharpish I reckon.

Bit of an odd thing to say, Master. I do not identify with the extreme right. It is the extreme wrong that I have a problem with.

My issue with Joshua is that he is pampered and protected. Beating a beaten Wlad of 40 fresh off a layoff and a loss isn't the big deal it is made out to be. I want to see him in with an undefeated, fresh lion and my hunch is that he comes unstuck.

I like Wilder. He is lippy but from the heart. I like the lack of media training, he seems like he is for real. He has also shown a refusal to be beaten and think that heart runs deep. He's hungry and will tear Joshua up. He will unleash the windmill as Joshua gases and he always gasses.
