if birdlegs lands just one right hand on biblicals jaw fight and biblicals career are over "fast eddie" will have to go back to selling pencils

I personally think Wilder will struggle once he tastes the power. AJ is still raw at 20 pro fights but his textbook style will mean he lands punches when Wilder throws wide shots.

Wilder has looked poor against people with some skill such as Spizlka and Ortiz.

Which both were still knocked out... 1 in very brutal fashion.

I cannot see wilder going past 5 unless he runs all night. Once AJ catches him, it is over.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Joshua is not 40 years old. If he gets Wilder in ropes, Wilder is done. No way Wilder has better chin than Wladimir.

[SplitSecond]

My one worry. If Wilder finds himself hurt and in the same position he'll be stopped. His defense while hurt is horrendous.

Yes he did knock them out, but he looked poor in these performances in my eyes.

I understand that, I'm saying that he still found a way to win.

[Just looking]

That's a big IF

couple things

first...wilder wasn't that hurt.....he was hurt but not really hurt...he even shook his head after bell to signal he was fine.....he also never left his feet......people act like he was povetkin after huck beat him up......what wilder did was a smart survival tactic...but he wasn't using Ortiz to hold himself up.....he was being smart and trying to tie up Ortiz's arms

2nd....if AJ hurt wilder like Ortiz did and had to throw as many punches as Ortiz did trying to get him out of there....AJ would gas and get KTFO in the next round

[chrisJS]

nothing in me believes Wilder could hang with AJ for more than 4-5 rounds.

I agree.

He has a punchers chance. He can crack with his right and it's Heavyweight boxing plus Joshua isn't without vulnerabilities.

Joshua also has an equal punchers chance but he also has a vastly superior boxers chance. He does almost everything much better than Wilder who has poor technique, low ring iq and awful footwork. Joshua is also the stronger man and that can work on a guy that doesn't really know how to box.
