    "When people say somebody's better than me or whatever, that's somebody's opinion," Wilder said. "But to me, in my opinion, Joshua has only fought D-level opposition. If Joshua was an American, he wouldn't get praised like he do in England."

    Pot calling the kettle black?

    Wilder is a delusional hypocrite... Wilder was fighting backwater bums at this point of his career. Joshua in less than half as many fights has accomplished almost as much as Wilder, his resume is only SLIGHTLY behind.

    Due to Joshua being in the UK he has likely been stepped up sooner. I dont know if Joshua would have been able to get to 30 odd fights before challenging for a title.

    Wilders title fights have been against Stiverne, Molina, Duhaupas, Szpilka, Arreola
    Joshuas title fights have been against undefeated puncher Martin, undefeated puncher Breazeale. Joshuas last 4 opponents have been undefeated and his next fight is a former Wilder opponent due to the Wlad fight falling through. Thats all in less than 20 fights

    Wilder had the HW champ climb into the ring and say he would travel to his backyard

    Wilder has only fought sparring partner level fighters so he has no room to talk considering he has over twice as many fights

    Wilder is correct. And his record is far superior. Wilder will surpass Vitali Klitschko next year when he turns Povetkin out for the count.

    So true.

    Wilder Will lose his title if he faces someone live Wlad, David Haye, Povetkin, etc.

    AJ is up and coming though which is feasible. To me I hold Wilder as the same category as GGG. Both guys need to step it up.

    Wilder is the most cringe worthy boxer in the game. I am suprised he stopped choking and beating on strippers long enough to give that quote or was he choking/beating and talking at the same time?

    Deontay "I beat on women but Povetkin should go to prison for not failing a drug test" Wilder! No wonder **** filth, scumbags like dinovelvet are so enamored with him.

    Wow imagine a English guy getting praised in England..... I can see why Wildmills is not happy..

    I'd imagine he is looking over the pond wishing he could get some of that ac$$ion...

    Deontay "AJ - You're black!".

    Considering AJ's next fight is against the guy who gave Wilder his toughest fight, he shouldn't be throwing any stones.
