Comments Thread For: Should Wilder vs. Joshua Take Place, Malik Scott Expects A Short Night: "It's A Three Round Fight"

Wilder has only lost to Fury. I refuse to write him off but he is 37. Make that WBC final eliminator with Ruiz. Let us see who is worth the shot. The winner will likely fight for a vacant belt.

Who else has he fought though?

Joshua vs Wilder is a 50/50, I just want to see it but I’d slightly favour AJ if it does happen, let’s see how he looks in his next fight.

I think Wilder is even more damaged than Joshua. Helenius fight told me nothing.

I have to see Wilder -Ruiz to be sure.

[SN!PER]

Don't count on it.

AJ's next fights are Whyte II, Whyte III and Whyte IV. Then Chisora, and finally a coming back David Price.

In the build-up to AJ vs. Price... Eddie Hearn will show clips of David Price's amateur victory over Tyson Fury and dub him "The Gypsy Slayer."

Wallin is too difficult for aj.

Again, funny, it was Fury who just talked that he would still fight Price in 2023, which could be a huge event in Uk.

I think it's not out of the realm of possibility that there could be a fourth Fury-Wilder fight before Wilder retires.

But yes, I saw that Wilder got rid of the excess bulk, and that was good. Other than that, and he still has the right hand, couldn't tell much from the Helenius fight.

50/50 fight. Joshua is bigger and stronger and more durable. Wilder may have the best one punch ko power in heavyweight history, is brave, has a true warrior’s heart and mindset but isn’t really durable at all particularly when someone can use their 30-50lbs weight advantage over him. While Joshua isn’t a one punch ko power guy his immense size and strength gives him a heavy damaging punch and I know wilder cannot be on the receiving end of that sort of power for very long before he goes down and gets up wobbly for the rest of the fight. On the flip side of that, I can also see wilder knocking Joshua down at will. It’s a true 50/50 fight and I can see the winner being totally dominant in victory. Someone’s going to have way too much firepower for the other and it will be apparent from the first round

I think Josh will beat wilder, I just need to see if I'm right now. Josh hasn't been down since ruiz fight so .maybe has learnt to be more cautious

Malik started crying because Helenius folded at the first slap he took lol,gtfoh Malik. Dude definitely stroking more than just Wilders ego.

As short as the fight was,Wilder was still out there throwing that wide ass,sloppy left hook and windmilling his right. Those toothpick legs didn't look very sturdy underneath him either. Joshua could make this fight easy for himself by bodying Wilder on the ropes as Wilder gasses tfo by round 4 but not sure the dumbass has that dog in him anymore. He could easily outbox Wilder at center of ring as well but that"ll leave him susceptible to Wilders right.

Smother Wilder early,ragdoll him on the ropes,let him gas by rd 4,half step back out and let those uppercuts,and lefthook fly,easy work.

He only gassed because he was 237 & 238 for the 2nd & 3rd Fury fights. At his best he was 212-215. He could go rounds no problem before those 2 fights where he was 20-25 lbs heavier than his normal weight. He learned pretty quickly those chicken legs wouldn’t hold up. Hopefully Wilder/Ruiz next so we can see how Wilder does against the former 3 belt holder who is responsible for shattering Joshua’s aura. He has been gun shy ever since. Wilder just needs to stay around 215.
