    imagine if wilder had a secret weapon, his kick was as damaging as his punch, makes sense now

        whats hearn doing with joshua? is he waiting for the 2 fury fights with usyk to finish and he hopes to fight fury, sounds like a bad plan if thats it, the time is good for wilder AJ surely, i have no idea what AJ is saying about this fight, if he wanted it he would be screaming for it i presume, AJ on the verge of being cashed out it looks like

          This kind of comment is always good for a laugh.

          Like Michael Venom Page, or better yet, Israel Adesanya have tree trunks for legs?

          The reason Wilder would get smashed in MMA has nothing to do with his leg size.

            Most boxers have little chance at that MMA discipline and it's nothing to do with leg size . It would be good to see Wilder either smash Joshua to bits or see If Ngannou can take those lethal Wilder punchers and vice versa.

              I wouldn't be surprised if Wilder could rip some vicious kicks actually, for the same reasons he punches hard. He's too old to really learn new tricks though, likely. Even in boxing, if he could learn to get knockout power in his left hook, he'd be even more dangerous. He loves that right hand though.

                I'm in agreement that Wilder's legs aren't the reason he wouldn't cut in in MMA. He simply hasn't trained in MMA and it's totally different than boxing. At the same time, those legs are a liability. Long, but not strong. This ain't a good look for your legs:

                  He'd get more respect taking any kind of mixed rules fight, win or lose, than he can get from beating someone like Robert Helenius. At least it shows balls unlike the so called "fighting man" Fury.

                  Obviously hes only got a punchers chance against Ngannou in MMA, but overall if you gave him say a year at a good gym he could probably hang in MMA up to a certain level, at HW anyway. Even though Wilder has more of a LHW frame he'd do better at HW cause most of those guys are just big slow brawlers in truth, if you're athletic and well rounded you're probably top 5-10 in that division nowadays.

                    Almost 6 year's & still dangling the Wilder Aj carrot.
                    Grow up Edward.
                    Bitd Don king ripped off the fighter's but fight's got made, today the likes of Eddie rip off the fans & never make the fight's. Aj is 34 & never faced his 2 piers if he was ever a pier at all, we'll probably never know. It would be like Norton never facing Ali or Foreman.

                      Don't forget Wilder likes to twerk.

                      That makes for an interesting ground and pound
