    The fact that Wilder couldn’t put Fury down a second time in the 12th shows that.

      Wilder get's hit, and was stunned several times by Fury - Imagine when AJ connects.
      I could also make a case for wilder knocking him out. Joshua's defense isn't anything remotely close to furys so to base anything off last night is a bit of a reach. Joshua is far stiffer than either guy and is very open to getting hit. Honestly believe fury would tool with aj just as bad.

        I wouldn't be so sure.

        AJ is far more particular with his shots than Wilder. He stays in position and doesn't over extend. When he gets in close, he throws to the body.

          I agree with that but I think his feet and hands are slower than wilders, even if he's the more refined boxer i believe fury is just too crafty and slick. I think Joshua would punch alot of air and fury would capitalize in the same manor. And I don't think fury would fear ajs power the same as he did
          wilders. But you never know..

            Wilder gets away with missing by miles and eating straight right hands against guys like Duhaupas, Szpilka, Wasington, Molina, Fury and many others, what's the common denominator?

            Joshua and Old Man Klitschko have brutal straight right hands, wilder is far too inaccurate, technically deficiant and defensivley open to last more than a couple of rounds against those guys. He also starts slow

            He gets ko'd by both long before he gets a chance to "come on late" like he does vs all these featherfists
            Understand if fury was on the ground in that fashion vs Joshua, there’s not even a count. Joshua is a formidable opponent, but i can’t remember the last opponent he slept.

            Also Joshua is a sucker for a 1-2. Defense goes two ways and wilders young punch is more lethal than old klitschko who drilled Joshua.

You can't compare Ortiz to Vlad.. Vlad is a hall of fame Ortiz isnt.

              Fury is Wilder's first proven opponent and he lost the first time he stepped up and was gifted a draw.
              Klitschko lost and then retired, why? Not because he was the mauler that wanted to prove he was king, because he is in his 40s. Time waits for no man legend or not and the fact is, if klitschko gets the Kd he does vs Joshua in his prime, Joshua’s finished. His skills eroded. He was 1-2 in his last 3 fights. And he got a draw, no need for disclaimers
