Who has the greater legacy, Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder?

Joshua's win over old Wlad is better than anything on Wilder's resume.

 

Yes I remember when Wilder beat fury. Was a great fight.

 

Joshua's best win is a 41 year old who almost KTFO him in their fight.

Wilder's best win is a gift draw against an out of shape Fury.

Both have had manufactured careers to an extent - Wilder with opposition quality and Joshua with with picking old names for their final fight. The difference for me is how they went about facing the other greats of their era in Fury and Usyk.

Wilder came very close to beating Fury in I & III. He showed heart beyond a doubt and it's clear that he's willing to die to win in there. Joshua was content to get outboxed, minimize risk, and accept defeat against Usyk for 24 rounds. He was unwilling or unable to roll the dice as a prime 33 year old HW champion, which is something that cannot be overlooked. He didn't just "lose to an ATG southpaw great blah blah" he ACCEPTED defeat while having much more to give. Add in the Ruiz quit job and it is a tarnish that massively impacts legacy.

If you want to compare and contrast the Pulev's and the Szpilka's of each fighters resume, you can do that for many years to come. If you want to look at the heart, the fighting spirit, and the will to win of each fighter during and after their battles against the other greats of this era, there is no debate to be had.

Spot on. Excellent post.

 

This is correct.

Judge a mountain by it's height, not by the width of its base.

 

The Ruiz loss was the most humiliating in boxing history. No man, no boxer, would prefer that.


If you had to send Wilder or Joshua back in time to beat these fighters (Ali, Foreman, Holmes, Tyson, Lewis) and your life depended on it, who would you send?

Do you send Wilder, who said he'd "beat the crap" out of Tyson?

Or do you send Joshua, who said he could "never beat" Tyson?


No one is sending Joshua truth to told because his legacy is non-existent.

 

Most humiliating.

You exaggerate because you don't have the ability to be serious or form the proper sentences. You post like a child....

 

So like I said, Joshua was the best active HW in the world.

 

With no justification, hence you've given up.

 

Lol. Wilder said too that Fury beat him with metal "egg" hidden in his gloves...

And off course we will send Joshua to fight thoose old champions because he will take fight with them at last. Wilder even dont want fight with opposition from his Era.

Its not about talking. Its about what You do.
