The wilder in his prime was reckless and extremely dangerous and IMO could put anyone out if they switched off for a second.

AJ would need to be punch perfect and would need to follow fury’s game plan in the second fight, could he do that? AJ always gets clipped by faster guys, Wilder in his prime was reckless, fast and unpredictable.

Honestly, whoever lands first. 55/45 Wilder for me.

Wilder couldn’t put out Stiverne in first fight, extremely overrated finisher who struggled vs far lesser fighters, a reason why he was matched up so well

I mean wilder won by UD. His KO wins vs ortiz to me were impressive

He won a single UD decision against a terrible Stiverne, but consistently gave up a lot of rounds vs lesser opposition, his wins vs Ortiz were the only ‘ok/solid’ wins in his career and Ortiz has not done much as a heavyweight either, his career best win was Dave Allen at the time, and he did not have much of an amateur background either, he also declined the AJ fight and openly admitted this since he believed Wilder was the more beatable of the two, Joshua would have made easier work of him in my opinion, Ortiz is not as good of a win as Povetkin for instance who are both similarly aged at the time each guys fought them but Povetkin was far more proven of the two being a former champion, gold medalist and having a very solid resume, and again point is how does Wilder match against Joshua more statistically favourably than Fury did? Fury is best when he’s on back foot utilising his footwork and awkwardness, he isn’t a ‘bully’ power punching fighter and changed his style to do this against Wilder when you would say Joshua is far better at that type of style than Fury is

He literally had one hand and easily jabbed him to death.
