I don't think people laugh at Fury for that. It's the fact that he fought him three times. There was absolutely no need for that third fight.
This is very true, I’ve gone back and forth on this point in the past but I’ll say AJ has shown great character in the ring and he avenged that loss. Can’t really ask for anything else at the end of the day, I think he’s proven himself in the ring at this point.
Interesting that the consensus BEST win of such an "ATG RESUME" in the past HALF OF A DECADE is... Otto Wallin. The featherfist who barely cracked the top 15. A former sparring partner whose best win is...a UD over Dominic Breazeale? Carry on, everyone.
A fighter who Fury was lucky not to lose to funny that. What's Fury's best win in the last 5 years ? Wilder who was beaten by a Joshua opponent in Parker and Whyte who Joshua already beat years ago.
Do you think that KOing undefeated champion, top 2 in the division Wilder is bad? Do you believe that Joseph Parker just outpointed a prime Wilder? Think it through.
What is a prime Wilder exactly ? Because I seem to remember the bookies having Wilder a clear favourite over Parker so obviously the general opinion was no one thought Wilder was shot prior to the Parker fight. Wilder can't fight on the backfoot Fury exposed that in their 2nd fight and Parker also exposed that when they fought. Parker has a considerably better resume than Wilder and has fought much better opposition aswell as being a better overall fighter hence Parker---->Wilder. Think that through and process it before you make another Anthony Joshua hate thread for the 100th time. Parker is the 2nd best opponent Wilder ever fought and he got exposed by him is that a coincidence ?
His prime was when he was champion and KOing everyone and PBC and DAZN were marinating the so called "fight of the century" between him and Joshua. Fury grabbed the belt, KO'd him twice, and left him shattered. He then went on to do ayahuasca and decide violence is wrong. His prime ended when he fell flat on his face, utterly defeated after Fury-Wilder III. Keep telling yourself that since Joshua outpointed Parker a decade ago, and Parker outpointed post prime Wilder, that Joshua has somehow defeated Wilder.
Wilder was KOing everyone? When did he KO Joshua, Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz and Wlad? Must have missed that.
When he was the "hardest puncher ever" according to many around here and had the highest KO % of a HW champion ever? Were you following the sport then? Maybe that's why you don't remember. He signed to fight a prime Povetkin in Russia. Why didn't Joshua fight any of the big 3 over the past decade? His legacy against prime elite fighters is losing timidly to Usyk twice being unwilling or unable to go for broke.
Lots of dupes on this forum fall for all sorts of rubbish. Remember when Ortiz was the bogeyman that everyone and their aunt was ducking? Yeah, embarrassing stuff I know. Wilder's KO percentage was gotten against some of the crappiest sorriest dregs I've ever seen a so called top heavyweight to fight. Bums, middleweights, literal taxi drivers, morbidly obese whales that couldn't even afford proper boxing shoes and had to fight in plimsols. If you want to parade that around as some sort of wicked achievement you do you. No one with a brain is falling for it. "He signed to fight a prime Povetkin in Russia." Why isn't Wilder vs Povetkin, Winner: Wilder KO on his boxrec record then?
