    Fury and Wilder got in with each other in their primes and gave us a heavyweight trilogy for the ages that’ll be talked about in boxing circles hundreds of years from now.

    Joshua ducked both until both were shot, same as he did with every other live body in his era.

    (Except DDD.)

    Someone at The Ring was being bunged envelopes to get him in their top 10, there
    Just another one padding their record on the PBC circuit until Wilder came knocking

    The names that are popping up in here are hilarious. Most of them fought at or near elite level so achieved massive amounts in boxing.

    He was decent enough in fairness until he met Froch

    Anthony Joshua was born to be a hype job.

    Postol was def not a hypejob. Broner, Wilder, Bute, Spence; and I suspect Tank Davis...basically PBC.

    Wilder himself admitted he ducked AJ and AJ signed the contract to fight Fury in 2021, so BS take on your side.

    He was relatable to the hip-hop demographic. In fact his antic became Floyds antics and far as saying "young, fly, and flashy" and all. Floyd was 35 years old saying that at the time. He stole it from Broner. As far as him being a hypejob so was alot of mouthy guys of the era. Billy Joe Saunders, Amir Khan, Lucian Bute and on and on. I like hype jobs ,they are a much needed factor in popular boxing and sports in general.
