Comments Thread For: Joshua: For Sure I Can Beat Wilder - Proof is in The Pudding

Neither guy is at his peak. Wilder also has not taken too many punishment so he should be fine. Wilder beats AJ anytime, anyday over the next 2 years unless he gets into multiple fights over the next 2 years that are too grinding, which doesn't seem likely. Even AJ must avoid getting into fights where he is getting tagged repeatedly - not good for longevity of any sort.

If Wilder is not at his peak after almost 40 fights and at 31/32 years of age, without any sort of punishment/stellar opposition then he would never peak.

Joshua has to get him outta there early though, because the longer the fight goes it favors Deontay. Wilder must work behind the jab, stick and move and stay outta of the exchanges early on, then later on in the bout he should take the fight to AJ.

Wilder must stand erect, circle and fight like the longer man by using his height and reach advantages over Joshua early on in the bout. Then subsequently, just as Anthony begins to tire, then move in for the KO late.

Masterful analysis of this potential fight. That is the way i could see this fight going. Joshua early and then Wilder taking over and stopping him later on.

It's the most dull city in the world. I honestly don't understand why anyone would want to go there. There's nothing to see there. You can gamble anywhere so what's the point?

First off, people don’t go to Vegas to sightsee. Second, you said you can gamble anywhere. Well besides Nevada, Atlantic City and possibly down on riverboats in the gulf region, Indian Casinos are the only option. The experience doesn’t compare to Vegas. More importantly, in most instances these casinos are not in or close to the major metropolitan area. You have to drive several hours many times to get to the reservation where the casino is. Also ******** is not the only attraction. Ever heard of Vegas Shows such as Cirque de soleil(prob spelling that wrong) Or Siegfried and Roy? There’s many other shows that are very popular. Also many bigtime entertainers who do residences there, the most popular recently would be Celine Dion and Britney Spears but there is also a Donny & Marie show that does really well although that’s not my style of show. Then you also have big events that happen there like Boxing, many huge conventions are held there. But anyways saying it’s the most dull city in the world is absurd. And comparing it to Monaco is also ridiculous. Monaco is a City for the elite and the wealthy of Europe. There’s a reason these big fights are being held in Vegas, and why Monaco only does fights like Golovkin vs Ishida.

What else would you call it? Wilder hasn't fought the caliber Joshua has fought in the pro ranks. And Wilder certainly didn't do as well in amateurs. Joshua had one questionable win (can't remember the name). Wilder got TKOd in the amateurs.

Resumes don't win fights. Amateur losses don't mean a thing.

I like the way some idiots are hyping Wilder up as some great boxer.

Skills wise, the dude is a bum, he was soundly outboxed by a Polish, midget football hooligan and that big lump Washington.

Wilder is just a bum with a big punch. Joshua exposes him, as does an in shape and motivated Tyson Fury.

Wilder will be fighting in front of a crowd far bigger than any he's seen before. He'll be away from home in a far more publicised event than ever before, he'll be feeling deep down ever so slightly insecure about his bronze medal and chump filled record, he'll stand opposite a guy that compares in size and doesn't blink. When the bell goes his adrenalin will pump like crazy and he'll start throwing those bombs cos if he stands off he'll get outboxed and from there we will see what all the fuss about AJ has been about, he'll unpick Wilder until the final bell goes or Wilder is star gazing, I'm extremely confident also :0)

I am happy to place a bet on this anytime any day. Just call your boy AJ and ask him to make sure he signs the contract to fight Wilder next year. I know Eddie is looking at 2 fights because he is unsure his guy wins. I would have preferred one fight instead and not all this rematch - but it is ok. So, Wilder gets to beat AJ twice back to back and stop the hype train.

He is closer to his peak but not there yet. That's my point. He has had enough fights to be there - I agree with you. I think Wilder fights to the level of opposition. He does not bring in day in day out. Joshua is farther from his peak than Wilder is. Both boxers have things to improve on - just saying.

Totally agree with you here.

This is possible although I think both guys will be cautious early. I think because AJ tends to be more aggressive, I can see him doing that in the 2nd or 3rd round and getting knocked out. Wilder is very good fighting on his backfoot. AJ does not cut the ring well and struggles with guys who can move (Wilder moves well left and right). So, I can see Wilder handle AJ from start as well if AJ starts this way.
