What makes you say Joshua will land bombs?
I didn't see him land any against Ruiz when he chose to box and be on his toes for 12 rounds and if that's his strategy against Ruiz he will be even more cautious against Wilder.
Wilder is taller, longer and has Thanos power.
Joshua will be on his bicycle from the get go, you really think he'll trade with Wilder?
I don't think Ruiz and Wilder are comparable at all.
Ruiz is a mexican style front foot counter puncher with a granite chin who excels at fighting on the inside and exploding with combinations but has slow feet and can't fight long range. Of course outboxing him is the way to go.
Wilder, tries to minimize the amount he gets hit. There are very few fights where I've seen him walk forward and take shots on the gloves to get his own shots in. For example, watch his Ortiz, Stiverne, Arreola, Szpilka, or even Duhaupas fight. He likes to stay at long range and wait for the opportunity to land his right hand.
I don't think Joshua should give him that opportunity. I think Joshua is more skilled as a fighter, i think he's at least a class better on the inside, and i don't think Wilder's faced anyone with the offensive toolset and power Joshua has.
And after all, if even Fury couldn't do it, why would Joshua think he's the one to avoid that right hand for 12 rounds.
