Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua

[CraigM]

If you judged it on fighters fought I'd say wilder.

Quality and skill I'd say joshua

It won't be long before joshua is at world level

Just re read question.

Joshua will have a much better career

[M Bison]

AJ is nothing but hype, Wilder would flatten him.

[The Hammer]

Joshua seems to be somewhat educated while Wilder is just still totally immature, on an intellectual level with Broner.

Also i feel Joshua will be here to stay and become the undisputed champion once Wlad retires, Wilder will feed off a couple PBC bums and then be forgotten once Povetkins or Wlad knocks him out.

Joshua is the more intelligent man, for example unlike Wilder he doesn't choke **********s or beat up ******ed guys.

In what way? Accomplishments in the ring or out of the ring?

I think FOR SURE Joshua is gonna have a bigger house when its all said & done. I mean f#ck he's got a couple PPV fights under his belt already. He's already been rated as the 5th most marketable athlete (not boxer) in the world (not UK) so his upside is huge & I think Hearn is an intelligent guy who's been moving Joshua at a solid, but correct pace & will continue to do so.

Accomplishments in the ring is harder to say. I think both guys have some flaws that can & will be capitalized on by opponents in the future so there are some intangibles we haven't learned about both of these guys with their heart, determination & ability to deal with resistance from capable competitors that will heavily play into who's accomplishments are better. Thus far I think Wilder is in the lead, but I think its plausible Joshua could gain on him quick over the next 18 months or so & perhaps surpass him.

Joshua by far is much more intelligent and knows when and how to set up punches and explode....wilder just throws......not even close in ring IQ the only thing close is power between them.

By the time Wilder actually gets top win Joshua will have fought the better fighters which I think he did already.so theres your answer.

Yes, I agree.

I was a big Joshua fan in the amateurs but he has fought no one and is already a defending champion.

[The Hammer]

Wilder is taking on the weakest possible opponent, as usual, while Joshua is taking on the best.

Quite a contrast.

Quite a contrast in the posts themselves from then to now . Im not sure how any non bias poster went with Wilder as the better fighter ,hell i would take Joshua in around 10 fights vs current Wilder bc looking at his skills and presence he still looked better in 2014 than Wilder does now . Hes going to wreck Wilder if that fight happens .

[The Hammer]

Will age 31 Wilder ever take the risk and fight a decent opponent?


Why have they held him back? He and Joshua had about the same number of amateur fights.
