Whats with all the respect for Deontay Wilder in this forum ? I see people saying "he beats everybody but Fury and maybe Aj" what is that based on ? His best win was against Luis Ortiz and he was desperate in that fight, getting his head boxed off until he landed a Hail Mary punch. Nothing in Wilders resume suggests he's anything beyond world level. He ducked Whyte and Joshua and hasn't gotten in the ring with fighters like Parker, Ruiz, Rivas, etc. The only reason he got in the ring with Fury was because Fury was morbidly Obese and on a cocain run for 2 years and was physically recovering. A cherry pick to be frank and it backfired. Makes me laugh
Chinny hypejob who avoided any decent fighter like the plague and only fought Fury because he believed he had no chance of winning. He also took a lot of comfort in the fact that he didn’t believe Fury had the power to hurt him so was confident in backing his chin against Fury’s power and landing within those 36 mins. He didn’t want any part of AJ, Klitschko and Povetkin because they were dangerous punchers. He was so happy to get out of the Povetkin mandatory. The Russian was probably giving him sleepless nights. The ringside doctor and referee even had to save him from old ass Ortiz. Watch the ref giving him 25 seconds of recovery at the start of round 8. So protected even when he’s in the ring lol. Also against Fury in the rematch that ref kept trying to separate them too far so Wilder could get his right hand off from range. Glad Fury smashed him. Just a shame AJ didn’t get his hands on him because that would have been another great highlight reel KO of AJ’s career. Instead I had to watch Fury struggle to put away a man with those pillowfists of his who was defenceless for over 4 rounds and had no legs.
Seems like it because the majority of this forum sees wilder clap every single heavyweight except Fury and Aj and i have no idea why
Because the current HW era is abysmal. It's a sea of turds with a couple of decent guys huddled in a sinking raft trying desperately not to sink to the level of the rest of them.
Ironic that before Fury dealt with him he was this monster of a HW but now Fury beats him he gets ridiculed. 1. Give Fury his credit 2. Wilder still banjos pretty much every heavyweight out there.
This is what im talking about. Based on what ? His resume is no better than Kubrat Pulev's. Ive been calling wilder overrated for quite some time now before fury beat him. How about we see him in the ring with multiple top opponents before we say he ices everyone out. And credit where credits due its still a good win for Fury but after the win I've been seeing "Fury is an ATG, he'd School most of the heavyweight champions in history" how about we see fury beat Aj and clean out most of the remaining top opponents before we come to that conclusion
No other heavyweight has the mixture of size, boxing ability and awkwardness of Fury to avoid / take away that nuclear bomb of a right hand for 36 minutes. AJ v Wilder is 50/50 for me. The rest I think he takes them out.
Until we found out wilder weakness is getting put on the backfoot and destroyed up close. Fury is a giant but he's not a powerpuncher or a natural aggressive fighter so the likes of povetkin or Aj could probably take wilder out before he has a chance to land that bomb
