why? for fighting AJ's left overs in breazeale? or for barely getting by and arguably losing to a man coming off a 2 year lay off, drug addiction, depression/suicidal thoughts, losing 150lbs?
Even though it’s an obvious robbery, he still holds a win over Fury which is better than Joshua’s win over a past-it Wlad.
Its a draw, not a win. But I almost agree, a draw against Fury is almost as good as a win over past it Wlad. The AJ fanatics really push some double standards in hyping AJ's resume above all others. AJ has faced top level opposition more consistently than Wilder and Fury, but really, they are all three in the same ballpark as far as resume goes at this point. I think 50/50 is fair enough. AJ probably deserves more, but it's in his interest to make this fight happen and sometimes you have to give more than you should to make it happen. Wlad gave Haye a 50/50 deal, and that was a much bigger resume gap than Wilder/AJ. Sure, Haye drew money slightly closer to Wlad than Wilder does to AJ, but it is even more in AJ's interest to unify the belts than it was in Wlads. There is money and power in that unification. Its worth giving up 5-10 percent of a purse. Especially if he is as confident about winning as most of this forum thinks he should be.
You just admitted it is a robbery... how then can you consider it a win? Contradicting yourself. If you want to give credit because both fighters stepped up then fair play... but Wilder clearly thought Fury was out of shape. I mean the guy weighed 400 pounds and fought two nobodies.
I am clearly giving credit because he stepped up. Clearly it was a robbery though and there’s no arguing that. You might want to give Wilder credit rather than saying gibberish hate infused junk like “he thought he was out of shape”. Wilder had everything to lose and little to gain here and he still took the fight which clearly proved to be a dangerous one because he clearly lost it.
The same could be said for any title holder against a contender... everything to lose.. So what... It is definitely not gibberish when I say "Wilder thought Fury was out of shape" This is a very real assessment, and how boxing will remember it. I give Wilder credit, but right now I can't think of something to give him credit for out of that fight... that he took the risk?
50/50 is definitely fair at this point. I don’t think AJ deserves more to be honest. Wilder’s team will still approach this like they truly beat Fury regardless of what the public and actual fight reveals. That’s how business works.
He’s still the lineal champion and the fighter that stopped Wladimir’s decade of title defenses/dominance in the division. That means nothing, right?.
Somewhere between nothing and 30 percent is fair. Besides, Joshue stopped Wlad in much better fashion and took his best shot and got up unlike all the other Wlad opponents.
Are you seriously comparing the Wladimir that Joshua fought with the one that Fury fought despite all the clear situations involving both fights?. Well, I figured you would be just another troll here. Have fun.
What are these clear situations that make both versions of Wlad so different? Please enlighten us.. Was Wlad pregnant when he fought Fury? Because that would explain a lot.
If you can’t see that Wladmir was coming off 9 years of mostly one-sided dominance, undisputed champion and fighting in his backyard any different than being clearly out of it, already lost recently and fighting in England then you don’t need me to enlighten you, you need a doctor. Happy trolling now. I’d rather leave mentally ill people like you alone.
