      Dream match-up.

      Joshua is better technically and is more vicious, but Wilder has the harder punch and is more seasoned.

      Toss up.

        Both are good prospects but wilder has actually beaten the WBC champion who was stiverne and officially has the better resume. Its an even matchup

          A 13 fight novice against a 30+ fight WBC champion?

          I guess their competition level has been mostly similar.

            I'd favor Wilder now, Joshua in a year or two. Deontay has the edge in speed and agility. Power looks close. Joshua will probably rough him up in the clinches. If Anthony fights 2 or 3 Thompson/Jennings/Takam type opponents next, this fight should happen next year. Assuming that Wilder gets by Povetkin and maybe Fury.

              Take away Stiverne and their resumes are mostly similar. Which is a bit sad considering Wilder has more than twice the number of fights and three times the length as a pro. Right now it's impossible to say who'd win. Joshua looks a phenomenal prospect and possesses enormous self confidence, but Wilder has been taken the distance by a big puncher and pulled out the win (plus he has buckets of self confidence himself). Nonetheless, both guys are still kind of an enigma, Wilder due to his lack of quality opponents to measure him against and Joshua due to his newness to the game. Give it a year or so, however, and I fully expect Joshua to blow him away. His progress has been astonishing.

                Joshua pretty easily.

                  Time will tell, Povetkin will be Wilder's toughest fighter yet. Let's see how he handles the russian

                    What makes you think Wilder is the harder puncher? He's never KO'd a decently ranked fighter in his entire career.
