    Wilder is a killer...an unfit Fury outboxed him.

    Does Fury get enough credit for his Wilder performance.

    Is Wilder puncher harder now that he`s piled on the pounds though?

    Although I thought he lost the Wilder fight by one point, I gave him huge credit in that fight.

    Most posters on here gave him enormous credit

    Fury’s appreciated on this board by most.

    I don’t think it particularly difficult to outbox Wilder, his fundamentals aren’t very good.
    Having said that, you risk being knocked out at any moment!

    Agreed. If a rematch happens then you’d expect Fury to be comfortably in control but the KO could come any minute.

    I find him deeply boring in the ring and take a drug cheats = lifetime ban view, but I don't think his ability is particularly underrated. Legitimately beat Klitschko and went closer to beating Wilder than anyone else.

    Even after last night I don't really rate Wilder too highly. Yes he's powerful but we all knew that anyway. Even in a two minute fight he managed to take a shot from a guy who was in massive bother that he shouldn't have done.

    If he is found to have cheated then that will be that. Until then he's innocent until proven guilty. A few internet oddballs aren't going to change that.

    If you're happy to bury your head in the sand, fair enough. Then again, you condoned his racism too. The irony of you calling someone an internet oddball :D

    Do you not think if it was so obvious that Joshua was cheating that it would be common knowledge? Instead, it appears to be a position largely held by a people online who, would you believe, also happen to huge fans of his biggest opponents. It's a deeply strange mentality when your favourite boxer is an actual, proven, acknowledged drug cheat to respond to criticism of that with 'yeah well your guy is on drugs as well.'

    I've never made a big deal of the obvious fact AJ has juiced since he turned pro. I honestly don't care that much. I rate the guy highly regardless. It's your hypocrisy that's made me comment on it. You throw it at Fury and Saunders at every opportunity and say they should be banned for life, yet give AJ unconditional support. Double standards.

    Just point me in the direction of where I can find out about Joshua being busted for taking performance enhancing drugs. Cheers.

    Bloke puts a gun to your head, asks you whether or not AJ has juiced at any stage of his career and if you get the answer wrong, he pulls the trigger. What would your answer be, truthfully?
