    I don't think Wilder drops his hands during every punch. Now, is his left hand low most times? Yes, he needs to improve that. Lastly, Wilder is not Takam.
    Ifs and buts. Wilder was hurt by exactly that punch vs Molina. A lazy jab that was countered with the left hook, and Wilder didnt defend it because his non punching hand was all over the place.

      Ok, bro. AJ-Wilder hopefully happens. Let's talk then.

        I don't know how anyone can say that definitively. AJ was dropped hard by Klitschko and buzzed for a couple more rounds. Yet he came back and got the stoppage.

        Ortiz fought a really smart fight where he was looking for counters all night. Nothing came easy for Wilder. The fact that Wilder was able to stay focused, come back from being hurt, and get the stoppage says a lot about him as a fighter.

        We've seen Joshua showed the same resilience and focus. I don't see why he wouldn't be able to do the same thing against game Ortiz.

            Respect to you, bro. A true boxing fan should want to see the fight. While we have preferences for who we want to win, a good fight goes a long way. Boxing will continue after all these guys retire.
