    Hilarious Manfred...Wilder ducked AJ and avoided all other top contender's ergo it's a cherry pick.

    First you was trying to make me reject the evidence of my own mind by creating an illusion of cherry picking and shoring it up with half baked rants. Now you just straight lying. There is no end to your BS is there?

    You can claim what you like but unlike you I backed up my position. Wilder avoided all the other top guys Fury was seen as feather fisted and damaged goods at that point but he had his name and a claim to the lineal. Wilder was caught telling porkies and admitted late 2020 that he'd been offered a career high payday and had turned down the Joshua fight. So no my deluded friend Fury was a cherry pick gone wrong and no amount of spin will change that.

    The point is that refusing to fight anyone serious who'd called him out previously makes it clear that accepting the fat has-been fighter (as Fury was seen at the time) calling you out is a cherry pick.

    It doesn't matter who called out who - the point is if you refuse to take some fights and then choose to take others, you're still the one making the choice...

    Wilder chose to ignore callouts from Whyte, Joshua, etc... He chose to take Fury on - he picked Fury as a risk worth taking, where he didn't think Whyte or AJ were.

    That's what makes it a cherry pick

    It does matter and Whyte is a bum and low on the totem pole. You don't take call outs from bums serious and that callout was way before the Joshua and Wilder negotiations began. Who's etc. you trying to make like you got some more names. He answered the Fury challenge because Fury put him on blast big time. The way Rolly put Davis on blast. He couldn't turn that down. Fury was no cherry pick. He was a mouth that Wilder wanted to shut up. Fury was an undefeated champion who had come back from being way down and won two fights in a row. Everybody knew he had excellent boxing skills. If Wilder picked Fury for weakness, he would have gotten him as soon as he came back. that's what you call cherry picking. Fury beats Whyte on his worst day.

    Tank and Pitbull need to run it back first or that fight will always taint Tanks record.

    I haven't made threads whining about the first 4 years of Tanks career neither.

    Like I said, a great comparison.
