Deontay Wilder vs. Johnny Fisher in talks.

Historically every fight counts

Imagine the fuss you'd make if Fury fought Itauma and won

No mention of what year it currently is would be made by you

 

No it's different when elder fighters can overcome a legit young dog although Ituama still needs to step up.... Ali overcoming Foreman good example.

Wilder, Usyk, Fury or AJ losing right now is of little signifance. If they can beat a young dog it's impressive. Usyk beating Dubious will be the last example of one of them overcoming a young dog, looked like Usyk might go Kabayel but I think he got his reality check not to risk it. Fury probably is tempted by Kabayel but knows it would be hard for him at this stage.

 

it's only different when it suits a narrative

On paper it's the same thing, only the result counts

 

Nah, just making both parties the butt of endless jokes.

 

In a humorous twist of fate, Wilder seems the least washed between himself, AJ, and Fury. I think he's got enough left to decapitate Fisher. Bad move for Fisher.

For those saying Wilder's power is gone, um, did you watch the Chisora fight? Wilder had shoulder surgery to fix a problem with his right shoulder. It seems to have worked. During the Chisora fight he, among other things, hit Chisora so hard in the face that Chisora called a timeout (lol, apparently you can just do that when you're Chisora fighting an American in the UK), knocked Chisora across the ring from BLOCKED shots multiple times, knocked Chisora out of the ring I think 3x, knocked Chisora down, etc. Chisora is pretty durable. On top of that, Wilder absorbed Chisora's bombs like they were nothing.

Wilder's power is back. Wilder's chin isn't cracked. Wilder's hesitation to pul the trigger is gone. He's not what he was, but he's now become a decent old man version of himself, not some washed guy who can't fight anymore and there just for a check.
