Could AJ use the same strategy against Wilder as he used against Ruiz?

If he hits Wilder with the right he clipped Andy, it is lights out.
If Wilder hits Joshua, it is also lights out.

when is the last time aj 1 punch Koed someone

Man, no!... AJ is far from holding those in-fighting "rough up" skills you imply above... and he's too old in order to really learn some "rough housing" techniques... AJ only holds in clinches...

I disagree...............that's the best strategy to use in my opinion.........stay close........be physical, aggressive, active but in a smart way..........and everything else I mentioned...........


We can agree to disagree, I'm fine with that.

I only told you that AJ simply doesn't have the tools in his skillset in order to be able to stay close to Wilder... AJ isn't Andre Ward or B-Hop (who were old school)...

... generally speaking, of course that staying on Wilder's chest would represent a "solution"... yes... but this is easy to say but quite impossible to implement, as long as AJ's inside game is all but primitive...

Lol, I didn't say to fight like Ward or B-Hop. Don't take my descriptions literally. I was referring more to being aggressive. But being as close as possible as well at the same time and doing it in a smart way, not being reckless.

No worries though, we can agree to disagree it's cool.

I think that he could use it in spots, however I wouldn't depend on it exclusively for 12 rounds. Ultimately it's about making your opponent uncomfortable so he would need to mix it up. We all know that Wilder loses rounds so AJ's best bet would be to bank the early ones and then avoid squaring up directly in front of Deontay like Ortiz did.

I don’t think he can. You need to sit on Wilder’s chest and possibly fight him on the inside. The biggest thing with beating Wilder is to have a good stamina. Because you need to be focused mentality for the whole fight. He is becoming in love with his power. And I would not be surprised if he loses a UD (If the judges scores it right) to anyone that has the right game plan.
