    You've got the likes of Fury fleeing to ESPN, I guess he doesn't want to get laid out cold again and then there's AJ who declined $50 mil to fight Wilder. The rest of them don't want no smoke with the Bronze Bomber either

    Priced himself out of the AJ fight, Fury already beat him. Huge puncher but don’t think any heavyweights, or any professional fighters for that matter, ‘fear’ one another

    There have been genuinely fearsome fighters over years that people would cross the street to avoid rather than fight.

    Young George Foreman,prime Sonny Liston,destructive Jack Dempsey,mid to late 80’s Mike Tyson,The Marvin Hagler that ko’d his way through the middleweight division and then you mention Wilder?

    No, it's just embarrassing to lose to someone with such a limited skillset.

    Is Wilder the most fearful man in boxing would be a better question.

    He’s the opposite, he is the one everybody wants to fight. Complete fraud but cherry picks his fights and won’t go near the top five fighters now

    He's the most feared by tomato cans and journeymen, because that's who he mostly fights. Mediocre fringe contenders with fragile mandibles fear him too!

    No, but he is the most feared HW, and that is the sad state of our HW division. There's not an active HW today who could've been champion in any era before the turn of the century. We're watching a bunch of Primo Carneras dominate the division and trying to convince ourselves these guys are ATGs

    Yep, Wilder, who couldn't even KO a 140 pound Charlie Z, is knocking out this era's title challengers left and right.
