Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder Still Dangerous, But Joshua Would Absolutely Butcher Him

[TJCombo1995]

Strongly disagree with those that say AJ creams Wilder just like that. AJ is NOT Tyson Fury. He just doesn't move his head or feet like Fury does. I'm not saying that he wont win but he stands almost as good a chance at losing. He doesn't have Fury's engine or boxing IQ or skills or footwork or his size or natural strength or HIS CHIN. He seems to hit harder but I think that's it. Make no mistake it's still a close fight although he might win against Wilder.

All depends on who controls the range.

Personally, I can't see Wilder keeping Joshua at bay and he doesn't have the ability to compete at close quarters.

Wilder is always in that fight (while it lasts) because of the right hand. That said, its 60/40 in favour of AJ imo. possibly more. Hes just a better, smarter, more rounded boxer who probably carries more power than anyone Wilder has ever fought. His jab would likely cause Wilder issues, his inside work would too and odds are his left hook or uppercut are landing before Wilders right hand does. And if Wilder gets rocked by a clinical finisher like Joshua he is screwed.

Lol...You can tell when promoters like Eddie Hearn don’t want a fight to happen, they jump to making a 50/50 fight into a complete mismatch.

Pulev won’t be a slaughter, Usyk won’t be a slaughter but somehow the number 2 HW Wilder will be a slaughter?

Styles make fights and although Joshua is technical he is not the slick fighter that Fury is.

In addition AJ is chinny. Not the same fight Hearn. Stop playing. Whether AJ fights Fury or Wilder we want to see the round robin. Hearn wants to fight Fury and then play keep away with the titles.

Can't believe how all these 2 bit boxers are now being tipped to beat the 'useless' Wilder. Getting beat once by Fury does not mean anyone can do it. AJ is a good boxer but far from a foregone conclusion he will butcher wilder it could be the other way round.

I get what your saying but AJ isn't a 2 bit boxer. He is actually one of two people I'd give a realistic shot at beating Wilder. The other man has just done it. The rest of the division more than likely still lose to Wilder.

I'm interested in seeing how AJ fights against Pulev. As it stands now, AJ lost his nerve to stand inside, and if that's the case, Wilder will smoke him with that right hand. If he can't crowd The Bronze Bomber, it's a wrap for Joshua.

Joshua is a chinless, stiff, bum. If he fights Fury i'm genuinely concerned for his life.

Sadly we will.never get to see AJ.deliver a monumental beatdown to the Bronze Coward.

Wilder loses to Fury and retires.

Wilder ducked AJ for years, his psyche could never take a battering from AJ, or Whyte, or Dubois, Ajagba, Hrgovic, Povetkin, Parker, etc.

He will retire citing some 'problems'.

You have Edward sussed .I sussed him the night he ran in the ring to celebrate Carl Froch's victory over Bute ....before the fight had even ended then as quickly ran out of the ring .The idiot could have got Froch disqualified.This is Edwards nature. Edward and the old boy are really pleased they can now avoid that fight .So as you say calling now a complete mismatch.....lol.

[Vinnykin]

I wonder if AJ would be able to ride the right hands Wilder threw in the first 2 rounds of the Fury fight?

[Roberto Vasquez]

As usual people over-reacting to a defeat. Wilder is dangerous to anyone and Joshua has a poor chin and is slower than Wilder. I think this will be a good fight. I'd pick AJ to win but Wilder has a great chance.
