    Says the guy who has been talking about Wilder non-stop for four days.

    Since Floyd retired, Wilder is the lightning rod.

    You really believe Wilder deserves the fight after that performance? Serious question

    Been talking about him non-stop for days?!?! Are you delusional or something? Or do you just say the first thing that pops up in your head w/o thinking?

    Of this entire post; you responded to ONE line, and misunderstood it. Care to do the rest or are you gonna stay in denial?
    That's your opinion, I have no desire to change that. I don't find either guy particularly exciting, I also think it's too one sided to be "An ATG series". Again, you know what opinions are like.
    Or I could watch something that isn't this series...

    Also, are you really trying to say that no one else thinks Fury's boring? :lol: You're also overestimating how much I care about people agreeing with my rates of exciting fights.

    Ali-Frazier I was one-sided in Frazier's favor. Ali-Frazier III was one-sided in Ali's Favor. Fight II was the most competitive and closest, and the one people care for the least.

    Bowe dominated the first Holyfield fight. Bowe dominated the third Holyfield fight, excluding the round where he was dropped. The rematch was the only close fight. (I thought Bowe won the rematch, too.)

    Patterson-Johansson. Ingo dominated the first. Patterson was the clear winner of fight II. The third fight was the most competitive. (Both floored twice.)

    A series can have one-sided fights and an ATG series. Especially when the WORLD Heavyweight Title is on the line. As it will be again, for Fury-Wilder III.

    When fans are in the midst of a series, they often lose site of that fact.

    Watching Dubblechin scrabble around trying to find a way to justify a third match after a schooling and a beating is actually pretty sad. Can we all chip in and get him a nice light up costume for him to play around in until he feels better?

    Yeah but ATG series tend to be entertaining... I don't find Wilder/Fury 1 or 2 particularly entertaining. End. Off. Story.

    Furthermore, there's so much wrong with this post, that you know is wrong, I can't even be arsed to reply. Fundamentally, this was shocking, given that what you're trying to do is convince me that two fighters I find boring aren't boring by showing me other fighters...

    Stay blessed pal, we're done here.

    That's not a reward for his performance at the weekend though, is it? That's a reward due to the smart work of his management team. So that's hardly relevant when comparing him to other boxers more deserving of a title shot.

    On sporting grounds alone, Wilder does not deserve another chance anytime soon. He got dismantled.

    He's got a draw with the world champion and two knockout wins over the #4 contender. And he has one loss ... to the world champion ... in 44 fights. Who the hell else in that top 10 is more deserving?

    You're only as good as your last fight. Had last weekend been competitive, then I might be inclined to agree with you. But first I would like to see how he performs in a tune-up fight for which he doesn't wear a heavy suit for the ring walk.

    And as for more deserving... multi-belt holder AJ and perma-mandatory Dillian Whyte to name but two....

    Ah, yes, Whyte getting off the floor to win a decision over #7 Parker and Whyte getting off the floor to decision #10 Rivas (and failing his PED test afterward) are certainly more deserving than drawing with the World Champion and icing the #4 contender twice.

    Such utter bull****.

    Well, thanks Finkel, the most deserving guy will get the first shot at Fury.

    Deontay Wilder.
