    A successful WBC heavyweight title defense in 2018. An upcoming shot at the RING world title. And, including fight three, roughly $75 million in combined paydays.

    Quite a lot, actually. Thanks again, Mrs. Martin.

    I wanna know why people think Wilder has done in his career to make people think he was better than Witherspoon.

    Half of the names Spoon troubled with were better than Wilder's best win. And TBH, some were better than Wilder himself.

    Sure. You must be Deontay Wilder's Chief Eunuch.

    I'll be sure to direct anyone looking for consumer advice on buying **** to you, for your wise counsel.

    Get back to me when you know the number of times a title changed hands by dec in a fight where the champ knocked down the challenger in separate rounds and never went down. Jack Reiss also claimed that Fury was unconscious when he hit the ground, which would be grounds for an instant tko in a fight without favoritism by the ref.

    I hope he was paid well, as he took a beating.

    IMO, Wilder is done. He'll be 35 in a few days, and in denial mode. Fury hurt him early with a not so hard punch. When glass chins are revealed, opponents tend to go for them more often.

    Wilder never beaten a top ten opponent under the age of 36. Witherpsoon has several wins better than Wilder's best.

    What best version of Tim Witherspoon that was going to destroy Wilder? (LOL) Was it when he was 219 against Holmes? Spoon lost. Was it when he was 217 against Thomas? Spoon lost. Was it when he was 217 against the fragile-chinned Mike Williams? That was a split decision. Was it when he was 215 against Snipes? That was a majority decision.

    I know this is a fantasy fight, but the Tim Witherspoon you guys keep bringing up never existed.

    And whose "crab" defense was effective against Wilder? (LOL) Christ. The only guy who beat Wilder was 6'9", 270 and the best boxer-puncher in the sport's history.

    And that wasn't Tim Witherspoon. BIGFOOT MARTIN did fine against Tim's 'crab' defense. Wilder would do fine, too. (LOL)

    How about some fresh news, has Wilder picked out his new ring customer for Halloween?

    I recommend a football helmet than extends below the chin, and a rib guard. While he can't fight with it, it could help him mentally.

    He was paid to come in and lose, which is all he did for a five-year stretch. But the great Tim Witherspoon, with Michael Moorer sitting ringside trying to hype their upcoming title fight, managed to lose convincingly. The only guy in five years to lose to Martin.

    And the split decision was a gift. But the judges didn't bail him out that time.

    Witherpsoon's prime was in the 80's, not the 1990's
