    Do you even read what you write?

    Wilder is literally fighting the best fighter in the world RIGHT NOW for the THIRD time. (LOL)

    The BEST for the THIRD time.

    He can't fight a better fighter in boxing ... and he's fighting him over and over.

    Who is better than Fury right now who Wilder should be fighting over and over again?

    Time for you to be honest. And stop the nonsense.

    Joshua quit, or "quit" after being beaten down and dropped four times.

    Duran quit either because Leonard hurt his ego by making fun of him, or because he had stomach pains, in a close competitive fight up to that point.

    Duran's blatant quit was much worse than Joshua's arguable quit.

    Anyone that thought wilder was ever elite needs to switch sports,. Boxing ain't for you..

    He's been an embarrassment to the division for far too long.

    How long are you going to milk him fighting his FIRST and ONLY top guy in Fury?? Another few years?
    "He fought the #1 HW three times!!!" :lol:

    AJ is an elite level HW but if you shrunk him down and put him in with a same size Loma, a same sized Inoue, an Usyk, a Crawford or even a same size Clenelo he'd get outclassed badly. Still a very good fighter who is fundamentally sound with decent skills and hand speed for someone of his gargantuan dimensions.

    He's dead right about The Tuscaloser though. Skill wise he's awful and his resume is as barren as a desert. He's just an elite level puncher with arms as longs as most people's legs and the best matchmaker in history.

    Oh dear.

    I think I said "Fury aside" at least 28 times.

    Let's be honest, he took the fight initially because he thought Fury was washed up and finished.

    Because, that's what Wilder does.

    Then, having been schooled, he was humiliated in the rematch.

    So, the only time...THE...ONLY..
    TIME...he left his comfort zone and faced actual credible opposition, he was given the most complete boxing lesson of modern times across two fights.

    Wilder is simply not a credible heavyweight champion.

    You can get upset about it all you want, but his resume tells the full story.

    He's a third rate brawler, with no class, nothing graceful or nuanced about his approach, awful fundamentals, who relies on one punch.

    Neutralise that, and he's nothing.

    Gentlemen, neither of these are true.................

    Back to the thread: Joshua knows that Wilder is elite (for this specific era), otherwise he could've forced the fight to happen, Elite fighters can set all kinds of demands and the B side will adhere. This didn't happen because the negotiations were between 2 elites.

    Disclaimer: I hate defending Wilder, but facts are facts. They're both elites (again, for this era)

    Is concussion not an injury these days?

    Or should he have had a medical Dr check him out at the beginning of round 5?

    He'd need to shadow box himself to fight the number 2

    Correct.

    Wilder will have faced Fury three times, and Joshua's only top level contest against an old, inactive Klitschko at home will still be his only 50-50 bout 4 years later.

    It's not who, it's WHEN.

    When did AJ fight elite guys ? When they were past their prime. LIke Klitschko and Povetkin.

    If we're at the point where you have to say "take away the fact that he's fighting the best fighter in the entire sport three times, and take away the fact that he's the best power puncher in the sport" ...

    Then you lose whatever the hell argument you're trying to make ... because you CAN'T take those away.

    HE IS fighting the very best fighter in the game right now over and over and HE DOES have the best power shot.

    So if you have to make up a "fake Wilder" who "doesn't exist" .... in order to make your point ... then you don't have a point.

    Wake up.
