Head to head: Wilder vs Joshua

[Curtis Harper]

Sorry just to be clear, when i say boxing - I don't mean what he did against Ruiz. I mean countering, positioning your feet to deny angles, like actual boxing skills. AJ really boxes quite well when he comes forward, he's a destructive force on the front and back foot when he wants to be. Wilder is limited to throwing 1 punch, albeit a very fast and fight ending punch. I actually think its Wilder who will look to keep away from AJ, much like he has done in his recent fights. Whether or not AJ can stop him before Wilder judges the distance or not, who knows

Fair enough. I hope this happens in our lifetimes.

DW by dec is pretty funny

AJ probably sleeps that guy as well

Possible, but I think AJ is a different fighter now after the Ruiz fight and you cant fight scared vs wilder.

Also i dont think the main factor is skill. Skill doesnt beat wilder. Everyone wilder has beat has more skill. I think the BIG deciding factor will be Wilders athleticism.

Regardless of who you think won the fight with Fury, Fury made it to the final bell. Not saying AJ can duplicate that level of boxing, just saying it can be done. Ortiz was doing well also.

DW will hit AJ with that right. No way he goes the entire fight not landing it. Matters on if AJ can survive it.

And of course, AJ has serious power as well.
Should be 1 for the ages

Oh its edge of the seat for sure. Every time so one throws a punch i think ill stand up before it actually lands or not. Heres to hoping it happens SOON

Ok. You gave no reasoning on how AJ can avoid Wilder for 12 rounds. That must mean because AJ cant. Ortiz and Fury are BOTH more slippery than AJ and they both fell to Wilders power.

You proved my point bro. If wilder can land on guys with defense than wilder damn sure will land on AJ. Good night AJ

Joshua can outbox a taco with no feet, not a monster ko Artist

I think AJ will need a couple of more fights to perfect his "moving fighter" style before feeling comfortable to get in the ring with Wilder.

However, the most deciding factor will be 1. The percentage splits 2. Networks and 3. the rematch clauses. I don't see that fight happening anytime soon (in 2020). Unfortunately, we'll probably see the TMT vs PacMan type fight that happened 5 years too late.

Tough fight, but I'll go with Wilder by KO for now. Gotta see if AJ can return to form and get his confidence back in his next fights.
