Fury is unquestionably better than anyone AJ has fought. I could see Wilder losing to at least one of Joshuas opponents though.

I think the 41 years old Klitschko was in the same shape against Joshua than the 41 years old Povektin against Whyte...
Much slower, much weaker, much stiffer...

Wilder in his prime could beat Joshua, because he is faster, more athletic and hit harder.
But Wilder is 35 years old now.. Maybe he is done.

The racist one, still pretending he's the best.

Someone remind him he got those belts off the fattest champion in history who forgot to train for the fight.

You are absoloutley kidding me.

Now look, I'm team Fury all the way, and Joshua has gone down a lot in my opinion, but to compare that version of klitschko to that version of Povetkin is frankly ludicrous.

Klitschko was light on his feet, he was fairly high volume, his accuracy was good aside from the leaping left hooks, he was looking good.

Now I conceded his age did come into play late on in the fight which is to be expected, but Povetkin looked like a shot fighter early on, and just pulled out a big punch. Klitschko still looked like a handful for anyone at heavyweight not named Tyson Fury.

Again, not a Joshua fan but that statement was outrageous.

That version of Wlad probably knocks Wilder out. And old Povetkin is at least equal to Ortiz.

And when was Wilder in his prime? he was 10 years into his career and in his mid 30s already when he stopped fighting the kind of opponents prospects are supposed to be fighting.

Wilder in his prime was fighting bum of the week, he's a joke. Wilder basically loses every round against any half-decent boxer survives because he picks opponents with no power. If he hadn't been fighting guys with losing records no one had heard of in the middle of his career he could have been ready for the Klitschkos an dthe world would have been very different.

Fury would be the best Joshua fought through Klitschko is close, not sure if Fury is the bigger name though.

Klitschko is a more threat to an AJ type, both power jabbers and Wlads ability to disguise lead right hands . Fury won’t be able to hurt AJ at least in the first half where the fight is going to be won by then .

Wlad is a bigger name then Fury because AJ was only in his 19th fight , Fury is going to get a better AJ and I’d be surprised if it sees past round 7 .

Fury himself is going to make the fight easier because AJ is made for more taller fighters since guys under 6”4 are not the norm anymore ,AJ easily will adapt to anything Fury brings . Klitschko will most likely be AJs best win looking down the road . It’s hard to see anyone else ranking over that win on his resume and at the time he did it which was 3 years ago.
