We all agree Wilder is zero without his right hand
And yet he will most likely beat everyone not named Fury or Usyk
(IMHO, Wilder lands his right before AJ's punch and AJ will not recover)
Can't get any sadder than that

You are a solid poster as well and you know your shlt.
I'm not sure too many of these HWs will be remembered fondly.

I just offered Mike Tyson his exhibition bout ( think he’ll take it ? ) im not so sure ..and that’s for real just now thinking about …I think I win in 2 rounds , past that I’m probably screwed …lol . Thanx fir the compliments. But get behind this movement I’ll do it …let’s put your theory to the test even though I’m a 90”s fighter …llol

I am completely lost
Unless you have a Paul level following, I don't think Mike takes you up on your challenge.

I really am lost regarding your comment and the topic
Hopefully they fight and one of us is proven right

Well that’s a give and take ….Paul has zero chance against him…

Tyson knows me bc he knows I used to have the world record in his video game and he declined a punching contest with me around 2015 when he seen me but it’s neither here or there …no doubt if I fought Tyson I put asses in those seats …trust me …if I had to promote that . lol

Wilder doesn't fight like a guy who is scared to get hit.
AJ does.

I think Wilder has at times he shown something of this. In the first fight with Ortiz, he was very jumpy at feints from Ortiz and his preferred style is to lunge in from distance and then back up as quick as possible. On top fo this, he also fights at times like a guy who doesn't know what to do when he gets hit. This was particularly seen in the second fight against Fury where he looked like a whipped puppy for most of the fight. He never stops looking for the big right hand, but he does get bamboozled and drained when hit.

I think because he didn't get the KO against Franklin, it's been a little overegged about Joshua's reticence to punch and mental fortitude. He could have let his hands go more a bit earlier, but he stood the whole fight right in front of Franklin, he didn't back up a great deal when hit, and there was actually a great many punches exchanged between the two. In the first fight against Usyk, I think he probably was a little reticent to throw because he was coming off worse in the exchanges, but to some degree this is understandable... Usyk's countering neutralised him.

None of this is to say I think Joshua neccessarily wins against Wilder. If Wilder clatters Joshua cleanly, he probably does win the fight. I think Joshua has the tools, though, to take enough of the fight out of Wilder early on to then go on and finish the job.

Prior to his 1st fight with Andy, I'd agree.
He still has more than enough tools to beat Wilder but the heart is not there and perhaps neither is his punch resistance.
