Comments Thread For: Joshua Feels He Can Outbox Wilder, Break His Confidence

[Andrij]

Wilder is not overconfident in his right hand. The threat of his right hand is what makes his opponent focus too much on it while ignoring other things he brings to the table - his athleticism, his lateral movement, his jab which is used as a bait to set up the right hand, his left hook, his ability to fight both on the front and back foot (something only Fury and maybe Ortiz do well of the top 5 fighters), etc. More important is Wilder's mind - his confidence that he is better fighter than AJ. Wilder knows he is not a more technical boxer but he is a better fighter and that will make the difference. AJ will get beat - mark that down and fairly easily and in embarrassing fashion.

Wilder has definitely heart when it comes to a dog fight but I can't see his chin taking a punishment from a huge puncher like Joshua.Keep in mind Wilder hasn't faced a puncher yet in 39 pro fights and he still got dropped and hurt by journeyman Scorniers and Molina.

Can he do it without being on the juice?

Accusations with no proof, typical Wilder fan. At least there are like only 10 of you in existence.

With two huge guys with a damn near 100% KO record, anything can happen. There is the science side to everything but then one punch ends all strategy. All the back and forth debating with one fanbase shocked and the other one saying "I told you so". It will not go the distance, that is certain.

You think Joshua is 100% all natural, then?

If Joshua thinks Wilder's right hand is the only thing he has to worry about, he is going to get sparked out pretty early.

Deontay's left hook is highly underrated.

Josh breaks the windmill down systematicaly in a non watchable fantasy fight that might never Happen
The only thing that makes it worth watching is bumsquad being knocked cold

I’ve been saying pretty much the same
thing on this forum for months, Wilder has the 1-2 and that’s pretty much it. The reason is that his feet are terrible, if he has to go backwards defending or change angles to hook and or uppercut he gets off balance. The reason he looks soo impressive with the 1-2 is he is much bigger than most of the guys on his highlight reel, so he can use his span to hit with no risk of being countered. I don’t think he can correct these flaws because they’ve remained for 40 fights.

And for everyone who keeps talking on here about AJ’s lack of boxing skills...I can confidently say you don’t know how to box if this is your opinion, because the reason he has got success is exactly that, he has very good technical boxing skills, the robot comments are simply childish, he looks that way because he’s text book with his delivery. The reason Fury is soo good is because he’s not text book but uses boxing fundamentals, a bit like how Michael Johnson used to run track sprinting, you can’t teach it that way but it’s effective.

I know most kids love Wilder cos he has super hero power in the right hand, but I am absolutely sure that when he gets in the ring with AJ, Fury and probably even Parker they will box his head off.

If you think windmill ever fought clean you're a m0r0n

[future hendrixx]

AJ gets starched in 3 rounds. he's too damn stiff to dodge that right hand. and wilders jab is turning into another beast.

but first things first.. the juicer ortiz.
