    I find it funny that it took this fight for people to figure that out.

    Was he really that much better in his Klitschko and Whyte fights?

      People underestimating aj.

      Parker is as cagey as spilkza for example. Yes wilder got the ko late, but that guy is no parker. Parker has a chin and didn't really fight on the front foot at all so it was a terrible fight to watch.

      Aj still won for me. He struggled in some areas and it seems he doesn't enjoy smaller guys running into him head first.

      I personally think his style can still catch wilder. However wilder has that power get out card

        I’ve seen Wilder struggle with lesser fighters. I’ve also seen him KO everyone of them. I always thought Wilder had about a 25% chance of knocking Joshua out, now I’m thinking this fight is nearly 50/50

          Don’t get me wrong I think Wilder will ice Joshua but not because of this performance. I think Parker did just enough to survive and it’s hard to look good against a guy not trying to win.

            It all depends, Wilder himself looked very pedestrian against Ortiz outside of the couple rounds he was able to hurt him.

            Both guys are certainly more cautious now than in previous fights. I use to see it was an easy Joshua win but now feel it'll be an extremely dangerous fight because Wilder has the eraser.

            Joshua will have to find a way to take Wilder's power away with bodywork so the Bronze Bomber doesn't clip him late in the fight like he did Ortiz.

            But I wouldn't take too much from one or two fights. Styles make fights and Wilder isn't nearly as fleet of foot as Parker nor as hard to hit.

            One thing for sure is that Joshua doesn't have huge punching power and will have to use his strength to wear Wilder down for the ko.

              Wilder is harder to hit than Parker, better reflexes and better dodges. And he just moves better

                .
                Pedestrian? How can you say that, when he overcame adversity, and stopped Ortiz? That was probably Wilder's best performance. Just like Joshua's best performance was against Wlad. Would you say Joshua looked pedestrian against Wlad?

                I'm sick of all these UK bag lickers kissing Joshua's ass.

                He's going to get torched if he ever man's up, and fights Wilder. They've been holding out for too long as it is.

                Wilder just stopped Ortiz, who is CLEARLY a much more dangerous fighter than Joesph Parker.

                I'm not even sure AJ gets passed the version of Ortiz who fought Wilder.

                You Limey UK ***gits need to show Wilder the respect he deserves. Face it: Your man cannot beat him!

                  I gave AJ a pass on the Takam fight, but this is two poor outings in a row. Starting to think the Wlad win wasn't as big as it looked at the time.

                    Correct.

                    Joshua is a bigger version of Frank Bruno.

                      Not sure who'll win. Yesterday I did think that Wilder would swing a right hand, land on the chin and put him out.

                      But AJ also did some good technical things, but man he just stunk the place out.

                      I go back and forth, but I want to see it!
