I've said it many times before.
When all is said and done, I believe AJ will be the best heavy of this era.
But, if AJ fights Wilder in the next year or so, Deontay sparks him out.
The truth is, AJ is still learning some things.
And one of those things is how to deal with movement.
Another of those things is how to block right hands.
AJ doesn't fight very well against a guy that can stick and move.
Throw in some power and it is very bad news for AJ.
I think AJ vs Klitschko is the fight of the year.
I think AJ deserves all the praise he gets for doing what he did that fight.
But, that fight also showed exactly why Wilder is so dangerous to AJ.
And last night that theory was reconfirmed.
Wilder has never failed to deliver his power to his opponent, no matter who they were.
He WILL do the same against AJ unless Joshua learns how to block right hands.
And judging by what we saw of Anthony- vs a shorter guy on less than 2 weeks notice- he still hasn't quite shored up that defensive flaw.
Now we know why Hearn is avoiding this fight.
