If he can catch Fury he'll catch Joshua - and Joshua doesn't have the recovery speed of Fury.
But why are people pretending that Joshua needs to run from Wilder for 12 rounds?
Wilder has never fought anyone with the power and offensive capabilities of Joshua. What happens if Joshua lands his big right hand first and wobbles Wilder?
Wilder has the better hands, hits as hard if not harder and is quicker.
Is there a way for Joshua to win, yes, but I think he has to make it ugly, walk Wilder down, maybe bring the fight in close because AJ's combo's with upper cuts and hooks are actually decent (put Ruiz down) and that's where Wilder struggles.
............ but at range, I can't see how AJ wins.
Wilder has the reach, slight height and speed advantage from distance and AJ is a bit of a target, one right hand from Wilder and AJ is toast.
