Is it a water pistol by any chance . Cannot unsee what actually played out at that time but end of the day I had Joshua beating Wilder. But I never saw it concrete and 100 percent certain. Afterall...it's boxing. AJ was months away from being demolished by Ruiz when Wilder fought Fury. His whole attitude was shat leading up to and entering. He felt all he had to do was stuff a punch in the fat man...who could actually fight a bit...and he'd win. Standing in his corner at intro chewing on his mouthpiece, staring into the lights and slouching. But would he have that let-down mind set if it was Wilder, I don't see it. He'd be sharp and more so feel the live threat of a Wilder who had yet to be torn down clean. But AJ also doesn't get full credit for coming back and actually adjusting. May be crazy to say but in a way he may have gotten slightly better after being dumped on his ass. Certainly shown more gears. He didn't just 'lose' to a fighter in Usyk. He lost to one of the top technical fighters and boxing minds of an era and improved in rematch. I see Wilder having his moment but AJ survives and he's not just sitting there waiting for Wilder to drop a telegraphed wind up bomb. He'd be a 230 lb+ heavyweight throwing back, better timing and in combination with his own legit power bombs. Too many tools for Wilder then and def now. Wins either time.

Damn shame we missed it tbh. No matter who you pull for this fight should have happened years ago! Way too many of those 'big' fights falling by the wayside today.
