Wilder: 3x Fury, 2x Ortiz Fury: 2x Wilder (Except second bout), Cunningham Joshua: Wlad, Ruiz, Usyk Wilder knocked down six times, Fury five times and Joshua five times in these matches. Who got the most punishment in his boxing career?
Wilder. He has very good powers of recovery to be able to stay standing that long after a prolonged beating. There was a lot of punishment between these knockdowns for Wilder whereas only AJ in the Ruiz fight took similar punishment between his knockdowns.
Wilder. AJ's Ruiz loss he was able to see he was beaten and accepted it before it got bad - Wilder lacks that kind of self awareness completely and accepted several rounds of unnecessary beatdown just because he's not man enough to admit when he's beaten.
Wilder took beatings in each of the 3 Fury fights, each being progressively worse. One could also add the Ortiz fights but they weren't as bad as any of the Fury fights. So no, it is pretty clear that Wilder is the 'winner' of this poll, by a landslide.
