    Wilder has proven his durability tbf, I think he’d be competitive in the 90’s. AJ not so much, I think he’s far too vulnerable both physically and mentally.

      Wilder loses to all of those. He is total garbage.

      AJ loses to prime Bowe and prime Ruddock but at least is competetive against the others.

        Wilder would currently right now, or on his latest form i.e last fight.

        Would do better than Joshua in the 90's. Due to his aggression and power.

        But he good few fighters would beat him, or out box him easily.

        Joshua stylistically, I don't think would do that well during the 90's. Because he lacks inside game, and struggles to fight a good big man styled fight.

        Wilder does not fight well on the inside, but still from mid-range to long range he is extremely aggressive.

        That is a hallmark or traits of fighters today at elite level, they seem to be less aggressive.

        The 90's heavyweights for the most part were extremely aggressive, all of them. Even fighters like Lennox Lewis who at the time, was labelled as a less aggressive fighter 'Go and check his fights'. He was more aggressive than 99.9% of the heavyweights active today.

        Tyson Fury has displayed aggression at elite level, but he is all over the place with it 'Unsophisticated'.

          Wilder would compete in any era simply because of how hard he hits. If he’s knocking 270 pound plus out then he’s obliterating a 210lb HW

            Wilder hits too hard and at his peak (around 215 lbs) would be live in any era just based on how hard he hits & his insane athleticism.

            He may not be the prettiest boxer, but he eventually lands his punch on everybody, including the extremely slick Fury.

            AJ is too vulnerable.

            He'd be like Frank Bruno, a great domestic level heavyweight, who gets folded over by the top guys like Tyson, Lennox, and Bowe.

              I'll say it once and I'll say it again. Everyone overrates the past. The modern heavyweights could compete, not necessarily win, in any era. I would give Wilder and Joshua a good chance versus all of those fighters. Would be curious if Wilder could dent a prime McCall, Mercer, or Tua's chin.

                Wilder's power and sudden moments of aggression will make him dangerous in any era, he would be a fun addition for the 90s more aggressive style. Joshua's stiff robotic style and total lack of chin makes him very vulnerable in the 90s.

                  All open fights but, IMO:

                  Prime Bowe would beat both
                  Ruddock would lose to both
                  Mercer would beat both
                  Morrisson beats Wilder and loses to AJ
                  Moorer loses to both
                  Tua loses to both

                    Bowe and Mercer would batter them. Joshua vs Morrison would be good fight. Both glass cannons.
