Who is more finished, Joshua or Wilder?

But is he more finished though?
Wilder could really come back, wipe the division, and ride of into the sunset.
Ruiz and the lot aren't posing a threat and even with superior skill, I'm not sure Usyk handles Wilder like he did AJ. So, it's still open for Wilder.
Taking 3 ass whoopings to Fury isn't too bad, considering Wilder could realistically wipe the landscape clear outside of Fury.Comment

But can be still do that?

‘He’s not getting any younger’ in fact he’ll so been turning 37
And how will 2 KO defeats in a row affect him ‘both physically and mentally’ going forward ?Comment

Those are definitely valid points.
I could maybe be putting too much belief into Wilder but the current HWs just don't impress me.
Seeing Wilder vs Fury, I have more belief in Wilder. The size and power combination, I just don't think any of the other HWs can do to him what Fury did but that's me going on what Wilder used to be. Not what Wilder is after the Fury trilogy.Comment

Joshua has suffered losses in fights that he could have won, and he lost his unified titles doing so. That's got to mess with his head. Meanwhile, Wilder suffered brutal beatings while he believed he was invincible, so he's injured both mentally and physically. Therefore, I think he's the worse for wear. It will be interesting to see how these men handle their respective major setbacks.Comment

Wilder has freakish power. I’d say his straight right is the most powerful punch in boxing history

It’s also quick and snappy. So is his jab.
Prime Wilder beats everyone other than Fury I agree

Excellent summaryHave you seen Wilder at the latest media gatherings? The dude is chill af. Wilder may say some dumb things here and there but I don't recall him throwing belts out of a ring, crying at the post press conference and flipping out on media as he walked away.
Let's be honest, Wilder lost only to 1 man and he's dropped that man 4 times. His ego is probably not as hurt as AJ who got KO'd by a midget fat f**k and then outboxed to death followed by another boxing clinic. I give him credit for putting up a better fight this time but he still looked like a mechanical ogre in comparison to Usyk's fluid and smooth boxing movement. I think that messed with his head more that he just cannot compete at the highest level of boxing.
Wilder has the eraser. He knows he can end a fight that he's being outboxed 10rds before it lands. He's confident in that and will always go into a fight knowing he can do that. Wilder is not done, he's about to go on a second reign hopefully. I'm all for it.Comment

Wilder was just brutally knocked out in his last two fights and hasn't won a round of boxing since 2016 outside a knockdown.
He might lose to anyone in the top 20.
AJ is probably still unlikely to lose to anyone not named Fury or Usyk imo.Comment
