Who has the greater legacy, Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder?

Yep. It’s a fantastic sentence, as it contains two ridiculous claims in just a few words. Fury as an ATG, lol, and Fury now being in his prime in the first Wilder fight while ever since then all we heard was the only reason he didn’t win was because he was still rusty and just building his career back up.

Hilarious stuff, it’s my personal title on my avatar from now on.

 

This is the forum which STILL absurdly claims that Joshua has "the best resume" of any active heavyweight, which renders the majority either dishonest or moronic.

Chisora clearly has the best "fought everyone" resume.

Fury has the best resume in terms of wins/results and not losing, then Usyk.

Joshua is arguably below Wilder (more losses, a disgraceful loss to Ruiz and his win over Wlad isn't as good as Wilder's draw with Fury)

 

That's what i'm saying people just post stuff like they're copying and pasting something off wikipedia there's never any context. It's like saying Holyfield "drew" with Lewis without any context to the controversy of the decision.

Whilst i don't think Wilder/Fury 1 is as bad as the Lewis/Holyfield 1 draw, it was still considered a bad decision that most fans thought Fury won. And the 115-111 scorecard in favour of Wilder is one of the worst scorecards in a big Heavyweight championship fight absolute corruption at its finest.

Not to mention Fury had not long comeback from a 3 year lay off in which he was on a drug binge and 100 pounds overweight, with only the 2 comeback fights against absolute nobodies.

 

The fight was razor close according to fan consensus:

https://www.eyeonthering.com/boxing/andy-ruiz-vs-luis-ortiz

Boxrec has it 113-112 Ruiz.

The judges had A-side Ruiz by 1-3 points.

Ruiz wisely aged Ortiz out for 2.5 years after the fight was seriously mooted, to 43.5, still tried to fight Spong instead and he had the fortune of being the A-side.

AJ has no legacy as Froch correctly said, Wilder has far more status/respect.

 

Fury schooled champ Wlad in his backyard 17 months prior to Joshua going life and death with 41 Wlad in London. Wilder's draw with Wlad-conqueror Fury is a better result.

 

Cool, Wilder's still a 1st ballot HoF lock if he retires the day after beating his next opponent while Joshua is not.

 

No moron, Eyeonthering "controversy" ratings are bugged. Have a look at the scores.

Keep swallowing Hearn's narratives, clown.

 

Lol. Joshua has three losses against top competition because he fought everyone. Wilder was a protected champion, beating up tomato cans.

This post alone shows you know nothing about the division’s history. Back in the seventies nobody dared to laugh at guys like Joshua who faced everyone - and got a few Ls as a result because eventually you will face a guy, not even necessarily the biggest names around, who will have your number. Back then, having a few losses against strong opponents was a respectable thing - it showed you didn’t duck others.

Nowadays when a fake 0 loss record can be used as a marketing tool on clueless casuals, we have opinions like yours. Joshua with his twelve title fights (so far) was and always will be much more of a champion than a PED cheat, cherry picking, dishonest ducker with more kids than title fights who has been holding the WBC belt for hostage for years and had the audacity to charge the most expensive British PPV price for a Chisora trilogy then going AWOL for almost a year only to be beaten up by a boxing debutant in an exhibition.
