I'm not over rating Wilder at all. I've consistently said he's a very limited boxer and there's people here who will be reading this that would confirm that.
But he does have a haymaker, and if it connects on AJ I have strong suspicions it will be good night Vienna. AJ is comfortably the better boxer no doubt but most knew that long ago.
Agreed. But what no one is saying is that if AJ lands a big one on Wilder, that’s good night Vienna too. It’s not like AJ is short of power and has to strategically outbox him. I mean that would be the safe way. But he’s just as capable as knocking Wilder out, especially as Wilder has little defence except a decent double jab on the retreat.
Not that he even uses it well.
I mean, Wilder is known for being a brawler, and people say you don’t want to get in slugging match with him. Well Fury, who completely outboxed him last time and was robbed of the win, just came and brawled him. And destroyed him. And Fury isn’t known as a big hitter at all. Wilder can be for at, big time. Even though he’s got that big right, he’s shown has vulnerable he is. If AJ brawls him, he can definitely knock him out.
Wilder will always have the capacity to knock anyone out. But in a match up against Joshua I make Joshua the favourite. I felt that way before tonight and now I’m quite certain of it. He looked so limited tonight. Once he was properly rocked, he didn’t even look close to landing his get out of jail free card.
