Comments Thread For: Sparring Partner Gives Take on Power, Skills of Joshua, Wilder

[hugh grant]

josh.beats wilder. I don't care who hits harder nobody knows. Once Josh kos wilder I want them both to be interviewed and asked who hits hardest they will give definitive answer.
Ask Gerald mcellan and Benn who hit hardest between them and Benn will say mcellen

A.J. and Wilder is still the fight I wanna see at heavyweight. I think it'd be a great fight to watch and honestly think it lasts till the later rounds. I could see both guys getting dropped and really cant pick a winner. I think it would boil down to who has the bigger heart.

Odiase probably has the best movement I’ve ever seen for a guy 6”8 . It’s very impressive actually so not sure why posters continue to shoot themselves in the foot on here when an article is posted ? Anyway if this is who Wilder has it makes the fight closer to what it would be otherwise. Looks like another interesting prospect hi he turns pro .

[REDEEMER]

Haha, he lost me with his Ali take as well. His supposed defensive prowess allowed him to not actually say who he thought hit harder (in sparring). Basically, his take is: AJ more technically sound with more punches in his arsenal and Wilder more explosive. Nothing groundbreaking there.

Actually he said Wilders one two is a combo you don’t see coming and Wilder is faster more explosive then AJ both I would probably at least give more thought to now after seeing him . I mean Wilder is much lighter then AJ so the speed advantage would slightly be there but not by much and definitely not in combination punches ,just the one two like he said .

Sounds like a pretty accurate assessment of both. A main difference that could possibly come into play if they were to fight is that when getting their assess whooped, Wilder wanted to keep fighting and got mad when the fight was stopped, Joshua quit and wanted out ASAP.

This kid didn’t say a dam thing we didn’t already know! As a professional they are probably being gentle on him as well seeing he is an amateur. This was a waste of our reading time

Sounds like a fair assessment coming from someone who was working with both.

Man. The more and more I think about it, the more and more I believe that Wilder needs to do something drastically different this time around to stand a chance against Fury.

Wilder has way more heart than AJ. That we do know

Definitely going AJ Wilders punch stats were rigged years of fighting guys who hadn't won fights in when anyone else would be fighting for belts years avoiding Klitschko etc and any heavyweight not in the King/Haymon stable all to make his punch stats look better. Aj don't set himself to throw at maximum power which makes him less of a sitting duck.
I'd agree Wilder is the one that tries to fire at 100% of his power more often but as Fury proved that can be horribly flawed.

Nah Wilder hits well harder. Look at Dominic Brezeale. AJ landed flush many times and he ate them. Wilder landed once and sent him into another stratosphere.

You can question a lot about Wilder but you can’t question his power. It’s by far the best in the division and is up there with guys like Shavers and Foreman.

Yeah you saw that in how he reacted to a defeat.
