    Fights with two great pitchers but only one of them skilled?

    Just looking for the president on Wilder vs Joshua

    Wilder has AAA power, Joshua AA power

    Wilder has like D- at best skills

    Joshua B+

    Closest I can think of is McLellan vs Jackson but Jackson was more skilled than Wilder though.

    GGG vs Lemieux fits that description.

          There are more things to take into consideration when discussing Wilder vs Joshua. First of all, Joshua never had to give up reach against anybody, and I don't know how he would close the gap against Wilder given with his slow hand speed and straight up stance vs Wilder's reflexes and mobility. I also don't trust Joshua's punch resistance.

            After Fury rocked Wilder with 1-2 punches I am not fond of Wilder's resistance either.

            I mean, AJ lands 1-2 and Wilder is sleeping till 2029

                I don't agree with this one. 2 of the judges had it 38-38 at the time of the stoppage. In their rematch, 2 judges had it 78-74 for Darchinyan and the 3rd had it even.

                  Precedent, man. Precedent. Presidents only care about boxing when there's a photo op in it.

                    I would think Thomas Hearns vs. Pipino Cuevas. Both hit like freight trains but Hearns was clearly more skilled, as evidenced by the early destruction.
