    Deontay Wilder is definitely the most protected boxer.

    He has refused to fight decent prime HWs during his entire career, except for Fury who was coming off a 150 pound weight loss and who actually beat him.

    Well I disagree, I don’t think Ortiz would beat any of those names.

    Povetkin has only “seen better days” when it suits them, Hunter was apparently gonna go through him like it was nothing. That Klitschko on the night would have beaten most of the division. Ruiz, Whyte and Parker are still very solid top 10 contenders.

    I don't think Wilder has the mental capacity to be embarrassed. Have you seen his ring walk costumes lately?

    I'm sure he worked really hard on making them, putting all the glue and glitter on all by himself, but he looks like a ****ing Stephen Universe extra.

    Ancajas, LSC or Tank

    Wilder is the wrong shout. Dude will have fought Ortiz X2, Fury X2 and was signed to fight Povetkin in Russia before Povetkin pissed dirty. Ortiz almost KO'd him and Fury schooled him. If you're protected then you don't get put back in with those guys (Fury more so than Ortiz though, Ortiz was a much riskier fight first time around).

    No way. Name a fighter other than Joshua that has sent a reasonable contract to Wilder that has been rejected by Wilder. He didn’t have to rematch Fury and he is doing it anyway. Fury is capable of using spoiling and holding to beat wilder. If anyone, Wilder should have avoided a rematch with Fury. Instead he has been 100% down with the rematch.

    My opinion is hate free but apparently bodybuilder fans believe that Joshua is perfect

    That's your opinion and fair dues

    But it's no odds to me who is the most protected out of the two , as Fury is the daddy of the division

    Fury has fought some cans but he went to Germany to beat Wlad and the first to do so in over 10 years

    He also went to the States and beat Wilder, which he will repeat in time

    He was also signed to fight Haye twice, who backed out on both occasions, no fault of Tyson's

    This was the real Haye, not the Haye with one leg that bellend beat on!

    Also you guys talk about Masterclass?

    Look what Fury did to a still game Chisora in his second fight?

    Fought southpaw and made him look an absolute novice

    Poor Delboy looked like Frazier in that 14th round in Manilla, he was that soundly beaten!
