    He's a respected fighter.

    But whatever he does, he'll never live down the beating he took from the tub of lard that is Andy Ruiz Jr.
    In Madison Square Garden, defending his titles.
    Battered by a blob, until he quit.

    He deserves respect, just as every fighter that steps into that square ring, regardless of who you support..

    Not for a while yet. The Ruiz loss is going to be brought up as evidence that he's nothing special just like Lewis's losses to McCall and Ruiz were for a good while.

    Because everybody he fought were bums until tyson fury came along and look how that turned out. And fury himself was overweight and coming off of a few tune up fights after being years out of the ring a while. Wilder has not fought even one B level opponent yet. Put wilder in the ring with somebody like joseph parker, dillian whyte or andy ruiz and lets see how he does. Then we can truly rate him

    Beating Usyk is meaningless at this point

    There are lots of guys that hate AJ for no reason at all. So he could beat Ali, Tyson and Joe Louis in their primes and these same guys would find a way to make those victories look bad hahahah. so no, if AJ beat Fury and Usyk, he won't get his props.

    People are already questioning if Usyk can hang at HW. That said, I look forward to watching AJ/Usyk.

    I got the winner and the loser of Fury vs AJ beating Shields inside the distance.

    Uh... what!?

    Wait... is this over that nonsense she spewed about being able to beat GGG or men? That’s just silly talk no ones supposed to take seriously like “You can trust Don King” or “Canelo’s going to fight fair from now on”

    Ruiz is far better than McCall was and so are Fury and Usyk.

    It isn`t, I feel Fury is highly beatable and some don`t feel Usyk isn`t that good at heavyweight.

    It will be a fantastic fight and I`d love Usyk to fight the winner of AJ v Fury.
