The British Heavyweight title

So maybe it wasn't good for him.
Consider Wilder had around 30 plus fights before he had his title shot and then went on to make several defences. If he had have had to face a Lennox Lewis in a domestic showdown he may not have been able to have gone on and done so much

 

It wasn't so much about the prestige to other countries but more to do with the scale and magnitude of those bouts and how draining they can be
Like I was saying earlier look at say Dubois vs Joyce. The size and relevance and pressure of that fight for the British title

Tell me about the same NABF etc

Consider a HW who has an argument about being the best ever had a tough big British title fight

 

I didn't take offence and liked the quality of your posting

I was pointing out how big and even potentially draining those fights could be and saying would other countries with a decent amount of HWs benefit or be hindered
For America I was saying if there was an American title etc
A fight like say Anderson vs Martin could potentially have been for that title and it would be fighting to be obe of the bigger fighters from that country to earn a good ranking instead of already being thrust into being considered world level

 

Star post of the thread

 

No he wasn't. He was a big Undefeated prospect at the time

Please stick to facts. Unless you know what he was offered and what was on the table for a title shot
Do you think there was more money in the British title than a title fight?

Mason was also a big hitter with 34 kos in 37 wins so I fail to see your point and you have fallen into the debate of what this thread was about
So you site Mason and Wilder as similar but one ended up having a British title fight and that is arguably what derailed his career to a degree and the other doesn't have to go through such an arduous route and can go on to a world title fight

 

You have completely ducked and dodged answering and written lol at the end of your post. Very good

Now...
I know his resume and you pointed out that it was arguable to Wilders, so the point stands.
It's not about lined up to face bowe or like, it was about the gruelling schedule of the British title fights and in facing Lewis for that title it was arguably a tougher opponent than Tyson/Holyfield/Bowe back then possibly even though Lewis wasn't accomplished at that time
So let's go by what you are saying to dodge the previous points and say mason got to fight Douglas and win the world title for example
Would that have been tougher winning those world titles than his fight for the British title?
I doubt it would have been

You saying wilder above but if he had have been based in the UK and eligible to fight for the title he may have had a big fight or fights against Fury, Joshua, Whyte, Chisora, Price just for the British title etc, which may/ may not have derailed him

 

Any fight can be called hindsight but considering Lewis was an Olympic gold medallist I tend to disagree
It wasn't like he was some unknown prospect. He was the Olympic champion that stopped Bowe in the final

On a separate note, the thread is not about mason but the British HW title. Mason was just a fighter who was arguably a bit detailed when contesting for that title

 

I'll give you another one to duck...
Show me where I have said Mason was being lined up for a world title
Will you duck or dodge that question?

 

Where has any of that been disputed?
Seems like you are trying to change the debate to argue about something completely different?
