Head to head: Wilder vs Joshua

[zok310]

Wilder gets outboxed and stopped by round 7.

[Marchegiano]

Wow, Wilder's doubled him. Joshua fans sure are vocal. I thought there were way more AJ fans than Wilder fans on this forum. I guess they're just more avid posters.

Anyway, yeah Wilder by KO, I don't think it's that hard to see. Wilder's bread and butter is posture fighting, Joshua's biggest major deficit, including Ruiz II, is his posturing. I reckon Wilder takes him out by the mid rounds.

That said, Ruiz II does have me questioning Joshes chances against Fury.

A lot of those names that picked Wilder are the same ones that said Ruiz was going to destroy Joshua in a rematch.

Nah, I picked Josh. Yer just bitter 'cause Josh doesn't win any polls. Wilder leads him here and in the champion poll.

Wilder is running away with this. Before Ruiz, I bet this poll would have looked WAY different.


Will be interesting to see if Ruiz was just an anomaly and Joshua employs a safety first strategy in all his bouts or if he returns to the killer he was. Can't wait to see his next fight.


Klitschko used to be a killer before Sanders and it seemed to take him a while to get used to his new style as he got dropped a couple of times before finally perfecting it and making a long albeit sometimes boring run as a titlist.

While Deontay Wilder being the B-side, he still has more leverage at the bargaining table than Anthony Joshua does because Joshua is coming off of a loss. In addition, this is a fight the AJ wants more than Wilder does at this time.

So if Joshua really wants it badly enough then he would acquiesce to all of his Deontay's demands. Wilder now has AJ by the balls and he knows it. Wilder should demand that AJ cuts Matchroom out of the picture completely and allow the PBC to headline this promotion all by themselves while hosting it at the Barclays center in Brooklyn.

They won't. And I am not even sure they should. It's big business.
It will be long and protracted with bickering from both sides for months and months, just like most big fights.

I got josh for this. Wilder lets you outbox him. But if you let someone who hits as hard as Josh tap you too much your going down.

Wilder will give Josh too many chances to be great for 2 secoinds. Whilst Josh will only give wilder a chance or two over 12 rounds

Skills dont beat wilder though bro. If they did he would be 0-42. Every body that wilder beat is vastly more skilled than him.

skills and power will easily beat wilder , fury schooled him , slow Ortiz had him out on his feet.
Joshua will time him and knock him on his ass and he will stay down.
All wilder has to do is sign for the fight but he didn’t want the fight

I know you are a boxing fan and so am I but if Deontay Wilder doesn't get everything he is asking for then there will be no fight. It's just that plain and simple.
