Guess him fighting Martin next would be great then. As for being a paper champ???! Last I checked he beat a defending champ, automatically proving ur OP to be false. Had he won a vacant title and not made a few solid defenses, you're OP could be subjectively true. But even a titlist who'd won a vacant belt is not considered a paper champ when he makes a couple solid defenses. See Vitali Klitschko. Won vacant interim titile vs Johnson, then defenses vs WBO Champion Sanders, Tyson conquerer Williams and then injury retirement. Without his come back, he'd have been close enough to be called a paper champ, but hindsight proves him the real deal Charr Oquendo winner will be paper champ. Parker's defense v Fury might have taken him off the list.. well see
Charles Martin had the balls to come to the UK and go out on his shield vs AJ. Deontay isn't man enough to do that.
I saw on some you tube channels the Wilder cult already justifying some opponent's and Martin was one of them. These were the same morons who ridiculed Joshua for fighting him and winning a belt ! Get ready for this deranged fan base should this fight ever get made..( Actually they ridiculed all his opponents )...
I'm no fan of Hybrid but he's clearly levels above "i walk this earth like a God" Martin who is simply dreadful and possibly the worst ever HW "champ". Wilder did prove against Ortiz (even though the Cuban is due his free oap bus pass soon) that he has an ok chin and can fight back after adversity. All Martin has proven is he can walk into exactly the same punch twice in the space of a few seconds.
