    More Flailing.

    Ruiz eliminated himself from ever being a serious contender for anything again.

    Joshua's team is trying to determine which belt he should vacate because he couldn't possibly fight more than once before the summer because they don't want him to get stressed out again.

    Meanwhile, Wilder and Fury prepare for the biggest fight of 2020 for the top spot at heavyweight.

    Wilder lost every round to a boxer who had just lost 150 pounds, and lost every round to an old man who suffers from high blood pressure!

    Wilder won't beat any prime, top ten boxer. His handlers know it, so they've been protecting him.

    He slips shots better than most former heavyweight champs aside from his lazy display v Wallin.

    That's coz historically HW is a weak division for smooth movers.

    He's also fought worse opposition than most HW champs.

    Usyk and Fury have much better footwork than Wilder, he lacks craft.

    He has a life size bronze statue of himself set up in Alabama where people worship him as a god. More people have bowed down to this statue than can be fit into Wembley Stadium.

    So that's all that needs to be said. I rest my case.

    It's doubtful he even become a bigger name than Shane Mosley at this point....

    Look at all these desperate folks trying to convince themselves Joshua is amazing. He just ran scared from a fat slob with the reach of a middle weight. Joshua will get his ass served and retire immediately. He's soft. Plain to see if unless you are soft yourself

    Right now Wilder is in his prime. He's noticeably improved his punch delivery and no longer wings the right hand - his KOs of Breazelle and Ortiz were perfectly delivered right hands.

    Meanwhile AJ has never looked more vulnerable - dropped 4 times in Ruiz I and wanted no part of trading with Ruiz in the 2nd fight.

    If I was DW and his handlers I'd be thinking, now is the time to make the AJ match and be undisputed HW champion of the world, the first since Lennox Lewis and earn tens of millions of dollars in the process.

    It's not rocket science is it?

    And you can't be undisputed HW champion of the world if you don't own all the belts - I thought that was pretty clear and not up for any debate. So, sorry Wilder isn't the man and won't be until he's undisputed champion or undeniably the best heavyweight. Nor will AJ or Fury for that matter.

    No-one is the man at the moment. And won't be until all this **** is sorted out. But out of anyone AJ has more right than anyone else by virtue of the best resume. As for Wilder, it doesn't matter how hard you punch if the only really decent fighters on your record are an old Ortiz and a half fit Fury. Who's gonna remember that in 20 years time? And the joke is that Wilder's not even making anything like the money he could be making. At least AJ is well on the way to earning 100M$+

    I'll be so happy if Usyk is the real deal at HW because all this bollocks needs to stop.

    They know him in his home town, but anywhere else, 99.99% of people have never heard of him.

    I honestly can't get my head around you not enjoying a legitimate one punch KO artist. Do you know how rare that is? All because he isn't throwing 1000 punches a round too. He sure as Hell didn't wait for Breazeale to slow down...
