I can't believe I actually gave Wilder any sort of edge against Joshua. Like him or hate him, Joshua can punch. Fury isn't know to be a puncher and he had Wilder bubbled and hurt a few times.
Wilder has ZERO Chance to Beat Joshua

Come on, styles make fights. It's an old adage but it's true.
AJ is NOT a mobile fighter like Fury.
I DO give AJ the edge against Wilder, largely because Wilder is technically awful (as seen tonight, unless you're a judge, it seems) but you're compared two completely different opponents there.Comment

Wilder always has a puncher's chance, but I don't see how anybody can realistically see him a the superior fighter. His skill level is far from elite.Comment

AJ doesn't have to be mobile, Joshua's pressure will be an adequate replacement. His guard will prevent Wilders offense and his tempo will stop Wilder. Wilder was hurt a few times tonight. Fury isn't a puncher.Come on, styles make fights. It's an old adage but it's true.

I look back at the Whyte fight remember some casual flicking counter right hands that hurt Whyte. Those types of flicking shots will rock Wilder. AJ under 6.
Fighters make fights and Wilder's punchers chance style isn't getting him that far. Joshua doesn't have to be slick. I don't think the fight goes far enough for Wilder to land big shots. Fury had Wilder hurt a few times, AJ hits way harder than Fury does.Comment

It is a totally different fight, so while Joshua could easily win it has little to do with tonight even if Wilder did better tonight that would be true.
Also just because Fury did well in this fight it doesn't mean much for Joshua-Fury because once again it would be a different sort of fight, Fury probably would do well because he is a mobile boxer and Joshua is not nearly as natural in the ring but Joshua would likely be more aggressive and do better in close.Comment
