He's plagued by injuries, it happens, some people are more physically frail than others. This conspiratorially minded generation of internet fanboys really need to get a grip, sometimes what fighters say is the actual truth, especially when they have no fight lined up to begin with. He faced Porter and Garcia, two of the best in the division, he's clearly not scared of fighting the best, and even he has to see that he's potentially a stylistic issue for Earl, so I doubt he's doing all of this as a ruse, sometimes something is actually what it is. The same applies to Ortiz, Wawrzyk and Povetkin testing positive, that's not Wilder's fault, yet people try their best to spin it into something to blame the opponent for. Hell as much as I can't stand AJ, if an opponent of his tests positive, then... it wouldn't be AJ's fault. He may be happy he doesn't have to face him, but he can't be blamed by proxy.
I wont complain about it mate, but Kell Brook has the GOAT middleweight on his resume. That craps over pretty much any welterweight in history
Yeah I agree. He's faced tough competition, it's not a fear or business thing at all I don't think. If anything, he's losing tons of cash by not being in the talked-about-mix for big fights right now. I don't sense anything untoward going on.
I agree Thurman does have the best WW resume at present and rightly is the Ring Magazines number 1 WW. However I certainly wouldn't rule out the possibility of either Crawford or Spence surpassing him.
