And by the way, Wilder is not the toughest opponent Fury faced, it's Wlad and it's not even close. Wilder had been ducking Wlad and then AJ, he was cherry-picking and hostaging the WBC belt for many years. It was his first time stepping up against Fury who just returned from years of retirement thinking he could take advantage of it.
Fury fought an older Wladimir, and if he had fought him during Wladimir's prime, I believe Fury wouldn't stand a chance. Wilder was probably so hyped during the time he faced Fury due to his record, boasting a 100% KO rate. Even now, if we deduct the outcomes against Fury, he still looks like a very dangerous fighter. But Wilder fell into the hands of Fury...First, a split draw, second, TKO, and then lastly, KO.
Honestly, if Wilder and Joshua were to face each other, I find it a very interesting fight to watch because both fighters are slowly coming back to being champions. But if I had to choose, I'd put my bet on Wilder as he was only beaten by one fighter, which is Fury, while Joshua has losses to two different boxers already, two from Usyk and one from Andy Ruiz.
Wilder vs Joshua would be ab interesting fight to watch and my money would also be on Wilder. Joshua lost a lot of credit, in my eyes, because of his loss against Andy Ruiz. I also think that we are not giving enough credit to Fury, he can give out punches and take a punch also, which is rare. How many boxers would have survived the punch Wilder gave to himin one of the fights?
