I think Wilder will fight Joshua for that payday, lose or not. I consider Joshua the better overall boxer, but Wilder brings interesting tools. He does have small legs, but can move very well and use his jab at angles. He likes to set up the right, which is a huge punch for him (if it lands). But, let's not get ahead of Ortiz. I know some of you think he's too old, but he is a huge southpaw that can maybe crack Wilder's chin, keeping all this AJ buildup from happening. I'm almost seeing this a 50/50 fight.
I am not obsessed with Wilder, I am angry that Wilder has never fought a legit fighter in his entire career! Winos from the alley! There is a reason why Haymon picked Ortiz, what is that reason? Is it that Ortiz is still sick? Old, something is wrong, something is fishy. Wilder has HAYMON BOXING INSURANCE!
I don't think much about Wilder. He sort of says a lot of things but so far he has not proven that much really. He has a good way about him marketing fights and his career, and I like that. Yet, his opponents or resume is still very very weak. He talks a good talk, but so far I rank him very low. Joshua like it or not fought Klitchko, and that puts him way above Wilder in resume. Wilder will have to fight a big name and go through a tough fight to match what Joshua did last year with Vlad. And Joshua has a more respectful attitude. Joshua is also naturally bigger. I give Wilder a speed advantage, but that is about it. Joshua will adjust and stop Wilder in a few rounds.
There's a certain level of enjoyment that people can receive from poking fun at obvious figures of ridicule. Wilder is one of them. I don't think too many people genuinely hate Wilder, so much as consider him an utter buffoon.
I see him as a joke that has went on wayyyy to long, like 6 years to long. People now feel like windmiller owes them being brutally knocked out. It started off a joke but at least wilder wasn't too much of an idiot back then. Now he is believing his own bs and has gone completely loopy making things even funnier
Ive never seen anything like it. Its like he has some sort of mk ultra mind control over people. There's a good number of posters here who only post Wilder and nothing else. They eat breathe and sleep Wilder. Wilder wilder wilder
It is a long running joke, but one in which Wilder has skilfully injected new life into time and again. I'm not sure how much more even he can wring out of it at this stage, however. Hence I guess why he's finally fighting a legit fighter.
Ya wilder has strung this on longer than anyone could imagine. The povetkin escape and the stiverne rematch were the highlights imo
He also has a genius way of playing with the English language in exciting and innovative ways. "Logistically somebody credibility" has to be up there with the greatest boxing quotes of all time. "Can you feel da powah and da magic in da Yulaverse?" is another classic in the making.
