    Wlad is the main reason this has being dragged out so long.

    He delayed the first fight , then kept everybody waiting to take the rematch.

    The rematch should have been fought 2 months ago.

    Alex Lepai. Charles Shufford. Frans Botha. Ray Austin. Jean Marc Mormeck. Mariusz Wach. Francesco Pianeta. Tony Thompson (twice). Eddie Chambers. Calvin Brock. Derrick Jefferson. Ray Mercer. Jameel McCline.

    Yeah, that's about six or seven years of title defenses right there I'd like to forget ever happened.

    And if Wilder and Joshua are still fighting the guys they're fighting now SIX OR SEVEN YEARS from now, I STILL WON'T MISS WLAD because Wilder and Joshua are more exciting than Wlad ever was in the ring.

    Tellingly, you named mostly guys from his first reign.

    Austin, Thompson, Chambers, Brock and Lepai were all or most of them mandos.

    Povetkin, Haye, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Peter...

    Pre-KO Wlad > Wilder > Post-KO Wlad Joshua > Parker > Fury in terms of excitement.


    Joshua picking up a paper belt doesn't change a thing. He's stepping up and moving his career along better than most fighters do. On the flipside Wilder picks up a world title from a legitimate champion and his career isn't going anywhere. Most would say he's going in reverse at this point.

    Naturally people have opinions though. HW is abound with good fighters who relate to many opposing fanbases. Wilder has the American fanbase, Wlad with the EE fans, Joshua with the UK and Fury with the contrarians. Makes it exciting. Every fanbase has the best HW and every fanbase thinks the other HW's have glass chins that are KO's waiting to happen. I find it hilarious. You guys fight over it, meanwhile I enjoy being a big fan of all four.

    Yes Wlad was fighting better opposition, Shufford, Botha,Byrd, Mercer and McCline are much better than Breazeale, Whyte and the guy he beat for the title.
