Not anymore. The last couple Joshua fights have been so unimpressive. His technical skills are good but he just doesn't seem to be as good right now as made to be.
Tahkam is a ****ing bum that Wilder would destroy by the middle RDs. I think Parker could take Wilder deep but would still suffer a KO blow at some point.
I have changed my mind and I think Wilder hurts Joshua. It at the very least has become a 50/50 fight where a year ago I thought Wilder had no chance.
Usyk did pretty good in his exhibition match against Joe Joyce and won quite comfortably. Joe is a tall big guy too.
Comparing Wilder to Joe Joyce now? Come on... height is not all that matters here. Neither is reach. It is the ability to use them. Wilder fights mid to tall with a wide stance allowing him to dart in and out. No heavyweight is as athletic in their movement as Wilder. No heavyweight is as explosive as Wilder. These are the 2 underrated aspects of his game.
Watch many Wilder fights - it seems like he is doing nothing and then he suddenly explodes on his opponents. It almost seems as if he is trying to get them into a lull state before jumping suddenly on them. How do you prepare for that?
Also Usyk struggled with guys in CW without enough power. Even in the fight against Joyce, he struggled with the latter who has little to no fitness and little punching power.

I root for little guys but this is too steep a jump. And Joyce isn’t the big 2 lol...
Well we all saw Headvetkin Huck so these guys might be able to compete with guys their size at hvw even if they weight more but Wilder and Joshua are 6'6 and 6'7 and big long, lanky guys and they have power.
Kell Brook imo maybe won a round against GG. There are a few CW's who can beat low end heavies, but beating the big dogs is a whole different matter.

Different strokes and all - but I'm looking forward to them moving up and proving you wrong. Even if they don't win, they'll put up more fight than the majority of the lower ranked fat HWs that are only HW because they can't stop eating.
A fit and in shape 200 pound athlete at the top of their division is more dangerous than a 240 pound undisciplined fatty who is ranked in the top 20.
(Case in point: Kell Brook put up more of a fight than most of GGG's MW opponents. A good smaller man can be better than a bigger man who is a bum)Well we all saw Headvetkin Huck so these guys might be able to compete with guys their size at hvw even if they weight more but Wilder and Joshua are 6'6 and 6'7 and big long, lanky guys and they have power.

I'm not an "on paper" guy. And I beg to differ about who is the better boxer. Usyk is stiff with no power at all. They are good where they're at and if they move to hvw we will judge them then at hvw.
Stiff? I don't even know where you get that from. Power doesn't equate to skill, usyk is a far more talented boxer.
Wilder terrified of Dillion Whyte bum ass lMFAO.
Joshua fans have come to the same conclusion as you, lmao. The funny thing is Joshua fans don't really believe this, but they have to say it doe, lmao. Say it once, say it twice...who's house is the one that has the mice? Lmao

Usyk is a better boxer than Wilder, not many people would debate that. He'd likely get starched though I wouldn't count him out. I honestly don't rate the HWs much at all, likewise I'm not one of those thinking that the CWs are exceptionally talented though they are more impressive than the HWs currently IMO.
I'd still favour the top 2 over them, but they will inject some much needed new talent into a dead HW division.

if a top 30 year old CW can beat a top 30 yer old HVW then I'd say that you're right. Gassiev and Usyk can't beat Wilder or Joshua.

Usyk and Gassiev should be moving up to HW in the next year or so. I think they might be to small to beat someone like AJ and Wilder might catch them - but I would favour them over Parker and I'd favour Usyk to outbox the two of them, especially Wilder, though he'd have trouble with AJ.
As it stands, based on resume, I'd favour AJ but I think Wilder poses a serious threat to him - evident in the fact that Master Hearn wants Wilder to jump through hoops just to potentially have a shot at Eddie's son AJ.
The HW division is weak AF. No matter how weak you thought the Klit era was the current state is much more pathetic. The talent pool must be smaller as more of the big guys are drawn to MMA or something, because when the best current HWs barely got past the fossils of a bygone era you have to question the talentif a top 30 year old CW can beat a top 30 yer old HVW then I'd say that you're right.

Takami and Parker would beat Wilder ass. ERIC MOLINA had Wilder on Queer Street and went 9 rounds with him.
Wilder is a fraud.Dillian Whyte's bum ass had Joshua on queer st, lmao. Lmfao rotf...!!!:bottle::bottle::bottle:
I don't think any normal boxing fan would seriously say any of the two destroy another. They are both dangerous champions and fight would be close, the biggest test for both is to fight each other.
