He is just another heavyweight, top 10. Nothing more nothing less. Weak resume of wins, got gifted a lot of lucky calls by the ref. Because he is backed by 100 million dollar contracts, Warren and Bob Arum who buy off these corrupt officials. That cut by Wallin, that long count in the Wilder fight, this recent round 9 controversy with Usyk. All gifts.
It’s not true. You become the best of the era by beating everyone in your era. He lost decisively to Usyk and he has not fought or beaten AJ which he won’t.
This is only true if you follow tabloid made up rankings. All his defences were against top 15 guys (wbc) and about 5/6 top 10 (ring). Haters create new rankings to combat that.
because they were treating wilder like **** and wanting to sign over to them. Tell the full story please. Even the Dazn ceo said he messed this up, not wilder or AJ. He thought he was talking to football players he owns, not independent boxers with pride. Wilder had integrity and didn’t bow to his huge money offer to become his property, like most do with his excellent guy
If Wilder doesn't deserve a mention than why does Fury? As I mentioned Fury's legacy is so dependent on his Wilder wins, if Wilder was a bum, than who did Fury really beat besides an old Wlad for his legacy?
He dominated the most in post wlad era. Most explosive and most times. He deserves a mention. It was always about the 3, usyk sneaked in.
AJ is more overall skilled but had they faced each other in 2018, Wilder would have had a very decent shot of winning by KO.
It is relevant because it is Wilder and Fury who didn't want to fight AJ or tried to delay it at least. The trilogy between Fury and Wilder happened only because Deontay thought Tyson is the easier fight. Also Joshua beat Parker, who defeated Wilder recently. Fury and Joshua shared the top spot of their era until Usyk showed up and unless they fight each other they will probably remain on the same level. As for Wilder he is clearly tier below.
Wilder was good just not on Fury's and AJ's level. And Fury's legacy is much more dependant on the win against Wlad.
Last time I checked Fury beat Wlad in 2015. Wilder in 2018 and 2020. Then Usyk established himself beating the bodybuilder in 2021. AJ had a chance to form an era but kept stumbling over like the bum he is.
