Wilder is a much better boxer than AJ.

Waits, waits, waits, GIANT WINDMILLING RIGHT HAND!!! Waits, waits, waits.

Vs

Jab, movement, big uppercut, right cross, left hook, combinations, good footwork, timing.

Yeah, way better.

The more I think about this the more I favour AJ to get it done while Wilder is in pondering mode.

The criticism of Wilder seems to be over eagerness when he gas his guy hurt... which he's rectified. But did you see the state if AJ in the pocket when he tried to finish Ruiz in fight 1? It was worse than windmilling, it was outright amateurish.

I have said many times that DW is the least skilled out of the top three guys. His game is athleticism and KO's. Improvement in those areas you seem obsessed about to repost constantly, can be seen, but it doesn't make him Ali. Or even Pulev in that regard. Wilder has a LOT of room for improvement in the skills area, not even sure if it'll ever get to the point where he can win a decision over a really good HW. He'll just have to continue to look for the kO. Oh well...

Tell us specifically why Rickster, I still remember Artur Szpilka outboxing him a good number of rounds and I thought he was down 4-0 vs Gerald Washington. I think in terms of 'boxing skill' AJ does everything at least as good and has a wider punch selection, and better ability to fight at different ranges and put combos together. If you took away all their power I think AJ would win.

BTW, Wilder windmilled just two fights ago against Brezeale, and he was doing some milling vs Fury too. I don't get the talk of him having eliminated that. He didn't hurt Ortiz until the shot that ended it, so obviously there wasn't follow up there.

No he's not. But he doesn't have to be.

“Fury boxed twelve rounds and ran,” Joshua said.

“I don’t respect that. If I’m the King of Dubai in the olden days and a different empire comes to take my territory, you don’t come and steal my treasure. That’s what Fury’s done, he stole the belts from Klitschko in the sense that he just boxed and moved. I know it’s the ‘art of boxing’ but I always said you come to slay the king. You look him in the face and you take what’s his.”

How do people feel about AJ's own words when he criticised other fighters for boxing and running?
