I think so too. But boxing is very much difficult to predict sometimes. I remember Gerald McClellan and Julian Jackson.

Joshua is more skilled than Wilder, mixes up his attack a lot better and sets up his attack a lot better and he has KO power. Wilder doesn't mix up his attack or set up his attack at all even though he has insane power. For this, I favor Joshua because you always got to go with the more skilled fighter.

Originally posted by NaijaD View PostNot sure where all this AJ is slow talk is coming from, he’s not as athletic as Wilder but he delivers his punches fairly quickly and with better and sharper technique. When they do fight I expect Joshua to beat Wilder to the punch and make him pay dearly for those wide open swings. Breazeale was just a little off target with that right hand yesterday but that’s history now.

Joshua is not exactly a defensive genius like Fury, he relies on physicality and is a decent counter puncher.
You need very good ring craft and lateral movement to avoid guys like Wilder who basically have huge reach / arcs of fire - if you can control the space around / between the fighters you can neutralize that threat, especially as Wilder throws himself off balance a lot. To do this you need to be a very natural boxer and be confident in your ability to avoid getting tagged clean.
I'm no longer sure Joshua has the above qualities - they cannot be taught late in a given career.
If Wlad actually fought Wilder back in 17 and not Joshua, he would have knocked Wilder out.

Originally posted by D4thincarnation View PostMaybe, that is still to be decided.
What we know for sure is that Fury took Wilder to school and gave him a boxing less, only to get robbed by the judges of a rightful victory.
The AJ Wlad fought was coming off a Bryant Jennings bout that took him 116-112 on 2 judges cards, 0 knock downs. Then a complete schooling by Fury, all this 2 years earlier.
Aj is nowhere near the quality of boxer Fury is and it's doubtful he has the chin. Pedvetkin, Whyte, JP to name a few have all stunned AJ.

If Wlad actually fought Wilder back in 17 and not Joshua, he would have knocked Wilder out.
