Deontay Wilder would've knocked Anthony Joshua out

It's Joshua, always has been and still is

You guys still don't understand how low skilled Wilder is and how much it matters at this level

Both AJ and Wilder are defensively vulnerable. Similar height/reach, Wilder is a bit faster and has more one shot KO power, AJ is more skilled and his power is more evenly distributed through his weapons.

I think it comes down to who lands with authority first, and imo its more likely to be AJ because hes the better boxer.

Look at the two fury fights. First fight Fury boxed him on the outside, he still got caught twice and was out cold for a few seconds. AJ would not have gotten up off the canvas from that second knockdown.

Second fury fight, Fury smothered wilder on the inside where he has no inside fight game. AJ isnt really an inside fighter himself, I dont see him pulling off that strategy.

AJ also couldnt seriously hurt a cruiserweight last night. When he is panicked he doesnt have much power.

I only see wilder sparking AJ out. I dont see the ways in which Fury had success with wilder being applicable to AJ's chances.

Fury is leagues more skilled than wilder, yet he got dropped twice the first fight, out cold for seconds. AJ with his shaky chin would not have recovered like fury did. Ortiz was a skilled yet older fighter, he got knocked out too. WIlder has covered a skill gap with his power before.

Does AJ really have the power to counter and knock out wilder? we saw yesterday he couldnt seriously hurt a cruiserweight.

AJ has hit the canvas 7 times in his career. If Wilder puts him down he aint getting back up

Joshua's problem is in his head

He's intelligent enough to acknowledge that though, so I expect him to change his entire team and hire someone who will help him get back his mojo, he's not Wilder.

Once he's done that, he will pulverize Wilder when/if they meet

Joshua is skilled?

He just lost a boxing match on the outside to someone who’s 25 pounds smaller than him, 3 inches shorter with a reach disadvantage.

AJ doesn't have the kind of power to knock Wilder out with 1 punch. I don't know why people think he can. If AJ hurts Wilder with some combinations then he can get Wilder out of there.

He doesn't have to be a 1-punch puncher. He can time him 1 good time. Mess his legs up for the whole fight like Fury did.
