Wilder is too obsessed with Joshua.

He is a prizefighter and Joshua is the money.Fighters should aspire to get the most cash before they retire.

No amount of pimp daddy fur coats are going to make Wilder a household name in his country.

Whereas AJ is just that. And many a white housewife's secret fantasy.

Wilder is too obsessed with Joshua.

It helps his profile and helps build the fight every time he links his name to Joshua.

Ortiz age of 56 is finally starting to show. il give Wilder some credit if he beats him but Ortiz isn't the same guy that fought a few years ago and i suspect that's a big reason why Wilder and his team are willing to take the fight. Very slow and lacking athleticism all the skill is there the body just can't execute it quick enough anymore.

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if it turns out the same as the last stirverne fight

Wilder saying this is proof that he's very scared of Joshua. Joshua isn't the one who got KTFO with head gear on...
Beyonce knows the Joshua fight is a cash out...

I don't know if it's a cashout, but it's easily his toughest fight so far. And yes he is deeply concerned. Wilder fans will scoff, but they (should) know this is no guaranteed W for their guy. Not by a long shot.

Wilder knows his best chance is to knock Joshua out before he gets knocked out himself. He can't box with Joshua despite his height, reach and speed advantages, we saw that vs Washington. Joshua would jab him and pick him apart in a boxing match where Wilder's defensive flaws would get exposed. Only chance Wilder has is a punchers chance.

Washington touched wilder on numerous occasion but he lacked fire power..a.j doesn't..a.j will knock him out

Wilder is a KO waiting to happen.

Those straw legs just won't recover from any heavy blows landed by AJ.

Wilder can take comfort in the fact that 1) He will never be cold in Alabama with his collection of furs and 2) Joshua will remain humble in victory.

True, Washington never had the power to really hurt Wilder and so it's a much bigger risk for Wilder to just go for the KO vs Joshua than Washington. Especially as Joshua is a much better counter puncher and we've seen that Joshua can turn fights around with his power when needed to, so Wilder will be really running the gauntlet by taking the fight to Joshua, though it's still his best chance.
