    Why Wilder Fury 3? That's not the fight I'm referring to.

    Sync up Wilder Fury 3 with Joshua Ruiz 2 though and I think you'll find Joshua having the better time of things.

    First off I have the upmost respect for all boxers (besides cheaters) who get in the ring. They show a lot more courage than me or the average person just by stepping in the ring.

    Second, Anthony Joshua sumbitted vs Ruiz in their first fight. Yes, Dubious submission/quitting was worse

    Wilder is the antithesis of a quitter.

    Yeah buddy, keep telling yourself that. I'm done with you at this point. Typical.
    Happy new Year, and i hope you can swallow that AJ is going to be 3x comes September.

    Why'd he jack it in the second Fury fight then?

    So you have little respect for Fury?

    You're talking about 283lb 6' tall Andy Ruiz, right? The one who went on to get in better shape and then have a life and death war with Chris Arreola immediately after, right?

    I don't care which fight you're referring to. I'm referring to the heart displayed in Fury-Wilder III and Joshua-Ruiz. There's an important difference.

    He wasn't in big trouble.

    Come on man, I'd urge to actually watch that fight, he was buzzed for about 10 seconds towards the end of the round. Hardly in big trouble. Fury was knocked down twice in that round you mentioned.

    Andy Ruiz Jr. may well be the best American heavyweight. It's a shame Wilder ducked him.

    Ruiz Jr. has a win over Joshua.
    Wilder doesn't have a win over Fury.

    Both beat Oldtiz.

    Ruiz Jr. has a razor thin loss to Parker.
    Parker dominated Wilder.

    Wilder, Parker, and Fury were belt holders.
    Usyk and Joshua both unified titles.

    Unifying titles is a requirement at heavyweight because there is no division above.

    On resume
    Usyk #1
    Joshua #2
    Fury #3
    Parker #4
    Wilder/Ruiz Jr. #5 ?

    You mean the fight where one man got up off the canvas twice only to get stopped vs the fight where one man got off the canvas four times only to get stopped? OK, but I'm not sure I can see this "important difference" you're alluding to there.

    Firing your trainer because he threw in the towel and being willing to die in the ring the 3rd time is not jack it in or whatever that means

    Correct. At least in that instance.
