This version of Joshua could beat Wilder

Joshua will need to be smart agressive with Wilder.

Wilder’s chin isn’t great I think Joshua has enough power to put Wilder out he has a good chin, hes been hit by hard hitters and survived when stunned, but i also understand the right punch can put any HW out

No version of AJ beats any version of Wilder or Fury, deal with it.

Hello Bojangles, hope you are well my man. Only major thing I think that we should take from last night for predicting a Wilder fight is that Joshua looks much better in the mid 230's to the mid 240's, and he should stay there. Stylistically he fought a great fight for Ruiz, but he shouldnt even think about trying it vs Wilder. He would get caught at some point 100%. His advantages vs Wilder are basically the complete opposite to vs Ruiz. Boxing at range, moving and fighting behind the jab basically gave Ruiz no shot at winning. Whereas with Wilder he needs to get inside the range and throw in short powerful combinations. I'm doing pretty good. Took a loooong break from boxing, though. Yeah, there's no doubt Wilder is going to hit Joshua hard. He's not good enough to avoid it. So basically if Joshua can take those punches when they happen, he's good. But that's a gigantic question mark and I personally lean towards Wilder finishing him at some point.

Wilder's right hand is a seeking missile, followed up by his rabid animal like finishing when he smells blood. Recipe for disaster for AJ His only chance is to get rid of Wilder early, except, Wilder is not dumb, he's not exactly a boxer... but that right hand always, always lands at least once This, agree fully. He'll be finish sooner than Ortiz if he does. Too slow?? LOL :rofl: YDK*AB I meant not. I edited my post. I think aj is too slow for wilder.

I don’t think either can take each others power It’s whoever lands that big punch first Wilder will be doing it from long distance Joshua will be doing it from the counter or on the inside This guy gets it.

I don't see how this fight changes anything about predicting a Wilder fight. As always, Joshua would outclass Wilder for every single second of the fight. Problem is he would get hit, and he would get hit hard, and Wilder has made a very successful career out of getting outclassed and then ending it with a single punch.

aj doesnt have 1 punch KO power but if he lands the right combination... Wilder’s chin isn’t great I think Joshua has enough power to put Wilder out

if he can do that 12 rounds without getting caught he can beat wilder, fury couldnt even do it so its a big IF but if hes focused like he was this fight and training camp he has a good chance

Wilder is fit and not a fat fu** like ruiz, wilder would get rid of joshua inside 4 rounds, the guy has been rocked by every fighter he's faced so far, last night he was in to survive....he should not go near fury or wilder, and i like joshua more than wilder btw but the truth is the truth no matter how much i dislike wilder

He's obviously the superior boxer but I don't think he can take Wilder's power. I don’t think either can take each others power It’s whoever lands that big punch first Wilder will be doing it from long distance Joshua will be doing it from the counter or on the inside

Can he go 12 rounds without being caught by Wilder? Wilder isn’t a 300lbs bowling ball that has to get close to land punches. Wilder’s range is still going to give him chances. It’s not like AJ was using unorthodox angles or anything. He was just keeping it long because he could but that’s not as easy against wilder What he was doing may seem simple, but very efficient. Switching directions like he did against Ruiz will give Wilder trouble. He tends to have difficulty, well should I say, more difficulty finding movers. They have comparable reach, so Joshua should be able to keep Wilder's lead occupied and take away his jab like he did Ruiz's. He should also not have too many issues tying him up if he gets in trouble. Finding the back hand might be a bit more difficult though.

He beat an overweight Ruiz that didn’t train. And he really didn’t look that great in doing it. I’ve seen heavy bags move their head more.

He fought better and moved better but I still think Wilder knocks him out. Ruiz was fatter than before and only threw 250 punches all fight making AJ's job easier. Wilder will throw twice that many punches. He can't use a reach advantage on Wilder because wiWilder has the reach advantage and probably the speed advantage and Wilder has a long fast hard jab and of course his famous straight right. AJ might win rounds but I think his chin can't handle Wilder's power and he will be KOed like all the others but Fury who almost got KOed.

Anybody can look mobile against a tub of lard. Wilder KO within 5.

He on some good peds, ran for 12 rounds and didn’t tire a tiny bit.

If Wilder let's himself go and came in at 280 then maybe AJ was still going back in straight line he won't have a reach advantage in that fight

You mean refusing to engage for 12 rounds and winning on style points Jabbing until dusk ?... Probably... As they say: "A win is a Win..."

I feel like he might want to actually close the distance with Wilder. He's too stiff to start outside at the end of Wilder's power and AJ prefers to throw hooks and be mid-range. He just needs to tighten his defense before ultimately taking that fight.
