Never mind that Wilder is faster than AJ, moves around quickly, unlike AJ, and prefers to fight from the outside, unlike AJ who likes to jab into closer contact. I mean style makes fights man, you can't just assume Povetkin would get close to Wilder because he got close to AJ, two completely different styles of fighting.

Joshua's enormous size and reach advantage won him this fight, once he started relying on his jab, Povetkin was neutralized. Joshua won't have that advantage against Wilder, and it's still a 50-50 fight for me. Basically both flawed boxers with very heavy hands, so whoever lands the first clean shot wins. Now if Tyson Fury is anywhere close to where he was when he beat Klitschko, he would box circles around both, but I doubt he is even close to his peak and he'll probably lose to Wilder.
