As for AJ. He looked good last night. Boxed really well. Jabbed well. I actually think the referee hindered him by not letting him fight on the inside. He was letting some good shots go that missed by inches on the rare occasions he was able to throw.

I still think Wilder troubles him although I think the fight would be much more edgy than people think. I don't think it would be exciting. It would be a lot of posturing before probably ending in explosive fashion. Not sure who I'd pick at this stage. AJ is the much better boxer and probably has similar power but Wilder is just so unpredictable in his movements and hits so hard that you're only a second away from disaster against him.


Exactly!

I've never understood the Fury bandwagon. Other than him being the one to end Wlad's long reign, he's a one-hit wonder. The Wlad fight was the worst HW title fight in the history of boxing... and he's done nothing since, but implode. Talks a lot, like Haye, but little else. Frankly, I think he gets soundly beaten by both AJ and Wilder. For those who don't remember, Wlad threw about 4 punches per round against Fury. Don't think that would happen against either of the current champs.
