No matter the weight... If joshua gasses vs wilder hes in big trouble, aj looked better without the extra weight so the advantage to wilder imo.

Stamina, speed Wilder, Power Jousha if Jousha lands that 250 pounds on that Wilder Chin he's taking a nap

I suspect AJ will take Wilders punches a lot better with that 30lbs weight difference than Wilder against AJ

edit: scratch that, AJs chin is too suspect

We all know AJ wouldn't have a great stamina being 250 lbs, but on other hand Wilder's 220 pounds could be bigger problem for Deontay himself...

Deontay is probably hardest hitting HW & has the most impressing single punch power but I think he could be in trouble if weights 220 lbs vs Joshua...
There were HW Champions who weighted about 215-220 lbs the likes of Ali & Tyson, but they were 'special', different & fought in totally different HW Era.

I think Wilder weghting 220 lbs would be his downfall if he fights with AJ... That's my opinion.

But what do you think... Who would have advantage if Wilder weighs in 220 while AJ 250?

AJ should crush him unless Wilder gets extremely lucky. Wilders EXTREMLY skinny and weak legs will fold under the physical pressure and power of Joshua.

Weight alone isn't very important in a heavyweight fight. History has shown repeatedly that 220 lean pounds is more than heavy enough for a skilled heavyweight to beat all comers even if they weight 250 pounds or more. The young Tyson weighed 218 pounds. The young Ali weighed 206. The young Foreman weighed 215 pounds. The young Lewis weighed 220 pounds. Joe Louis weighed 198 when he won the title and Marciano weighed 184 pounds. They beat all comers and if they lost it wasn't because they were out weighed. They were out fought. Jack Dempsey weighed 180 when he slaughtered 250 champion Williard. Joe Louis weighed 200 pounds when he slaughtered former champion 265 pound Carnera. AJ weighing 250 pounds to Wilder's 220 pounds is no advantage at all for AJ. It's boxing and not weight lifting or wrestling. Wilder is faster than AJ. Wilder hits just as hard as AJ. Wilder has much better stamina than AJ. Wilder is taller and has more reach than AJ. So how exactly does AJ's heavier weight give him an advantage? AJ might be better off to be as lean as Wilder and weigh 235 pounds.

It's all relative weight though, like when Pacquiao fought Margarito and Floyd fought Canelo/Maidana, the smaller guy prevailed. In this case though, the smaller guy doesn't have the skills benefit. He's got power, speed, and stamina but AJ will have the size and arguably better set of skills.

I think Wilder's size/weight is ideal. He just needs to work on technique, specifically footwork. He's actually very quick and light, he just trips himself up because he's not getting trained proper.

AJ's weight seems to be a hinderance. He's a bit lumbering, stiff, poor stamina. I really think the man could stand to drop 10 but I doubt that will happen. Weight will only become harder for him to manage, along with stamina.

You don't understand how boxing, or the physics of the human body, work...

If Joshua gets in close and bullies Wilder that weight will be a problem for Wilder.

If Wilder moves around the ring and keeps Joshua at range (or Joshua himself stays at range) then that weight would be a detriment to Joshua because he will just be carrying around extra weight and not really making Wilder feel it.

At that sort of size with that sort of leverage I don't think the extra weight protects Joshua in any way from Wilders power. Skulls and the distance between brain and skull is basically the same in all human and I am pretty sure Wilder can make Joshua brain his his skull if he lands properly.

Joshua can also do that to Wilder don't get it twisted but he can do that at 235 or 240 and be carrying around less wasted bulk thus making his gas take a bit better.

If Wilder weighs in 220, while AJ 250... Who would have advantage over other?
