Assuming Fury gets his weight down to his 2015 fight with Wlad and looks decent in his next fight with Pianeta
Which fight would be more competitive, Joshua-Wilder o0r Wilder-Fury?
and why?
I don't think Joshua is that good or very skilled at all and just is big because he's from the UK and beat Klitskcho, I think Wilder/Fury are better than him, and even Ortiz. He just reminded me of the Heavyweights that someone like Tyson used to toy with.
Joshua Wilder but this could be proven wrong in time. That's why it's good to drag Fury's bones out of early retirement. It's good for him too because he looks better than he did before.
Tyson Fury's defense and movement would cause a lot more matchup problems for Wilder than an Anthony Joshua. On the other hand, Wilder and Joshua are very similar in that they are both primarily offensive fighters.
Unlike Fury, Joshua won't be that hard for Deontay to find; Which makes Wilder all the more dangerous. Joshua lacks the stamina to move and circle around the ring for twelve rounds without fatiguing.
Moreover, I just don't see him squaring up flat-footed, trading and exchanging power punches with Deontay Wilder without being slept on either because he is too wide, stiff and slow to evade Wilder's punches. Now, it's not like I am saying something that boxing fans don't already know.
That's why Joshua remains in hiding as he continues to avoid and duck Wilder.
