I'm not sold on Wilder's chin

[KingHippo]

thats the biggest question mark goin into this fight.

his bird legs indicate he'll do the booty dew if tapped on the chin.

AJ proved his chin already. this is Wilder's first chin test.

if Ortiz lands flush will Wilder do the booty dew or will he absorb and keep coming?

Lol, AJ's chin isn't proved, both of them have been knocked down in the Am's with full headgear.

It's all about who lands first. Only difference is that Wilder has much better feet, punches harder and punches twice as hard. Bad, bad news...

I think he's gotten better until he smell blood in the water. I expect him to keep ortiz at the end of the jab and pull a stiverne on him. I've been saywing that since the fight got announced. This could very well be Ortiz's cash out fight too. We'll see, him losing shakes up the HW landscape too much and kills off three to four potential super fights.

It might be like the first Stiverne fight. I definitely don't see a one round job though. Its true what you say about him winning. Him vs AJ Fury or even Parker is good for the division. If Ortiz wins he gets avoided by everyone until he's 50.What do you think if its a life and death struggle with Ortiz though. Does Wilder go straight for AJ, or seek to rebuild the aura? I think it might delay thinks abit. I hope it's not another Bowe Lewis situation.

Well, if Wilder has been in 40 fights and his defense is so good he has yet to take a hard shot, then I highly doubt a fat, slow 40 year old is going to be the first opponent to land a decent shot.

Ortiz is just as slow as Joshua. Only difference Ortiz has more skills in his pinky toe that Josh has in his entire body.

[Vinnykin]

Wilder hasn't fought an explosive puncher, he's never fought any one good enough to check his chin. I think Joshua, Parker and Povetkin would have a lot of success.... the Ortiz of a few years ago would definitely as well, hopefully his timing and speed is still there and he can get in distance.

AJ didn’t prove ****. He took a 41 year old mans punch.

Yeah a 41 year old who's one of the hardest punchers in the history. Harder and more accurate than Wilder, certainly more proven.

You Michael Grant 2.0 fangirls and your ******ity amuse me.

He was 41 Josh D Blower. Now if his stiff ass took Wilders right hand then I’d have a different opinion.

It doesn't matter if Wlad was 41. The power was still there, Wlad at 41 is still a huge puncher. To question AJ's chin because Wlad at age 41 dropped him is really silly.

The 1 shot power wasn’t there. Joshua just got hit so clean that it made you think that he can take a punch. I’m not a believer yet.

[LITTLE JOE]

I question any heavyweights chin. Like others have stated, these are big guys and almost anyone can be hurt badly.The closest comparison I can think of would be that Wilder has those thin legs like Thomas Hearns had which IMO was Tommy's biggest weakness.

So what he was 41? George Foreman was 45 years old when his power bailed him out against Moorer.

Power is the last thing to go.

Are you suggesting Wilder's a harder puncher than Wladimir Klitschko?
