    Now that he finally stepped up you will see that percentage start to dramatically decrease.

    Fans need the fighter to step up before they start following him.

    Nobody likes a elite level off the charts talent that tip toes through the top 20 claiming he is the best ever.

    Why is that so hard for the die hard Wilder fans to accept?? Before tonight Wilder had not stepped up. Wilder owed his fans this victory, at the very least. He claims hes the best ever correct?

    You get pin heads like HPV claiming its all for "other" reasons, smh. Dont be one of the pinheads ellerbe, you're bigger than that and better too.

    Now get out of here you crazy rascal!

    Funny you mention 'time wasting' - I think everyone just wants to see a unification bout. 3 years ago when Wilder won the WBC he said he was going to unify the belts. 3 years later...I dont know? time wasting? I dont know...

    Parker and Joshua brings the world a unification straight away. No mucking around.

    Well it's here on these boards in black and white. Stiverne bad Ortiz good. I don't think either of those opinions are controversial.

    No it's not. Anyone can gets belts nowadays. Charles Martin fought a unification bout against Joshua. Was that the best vs the best? Here's a tip for you my friend, disregard trinkets, boxing is bigger than that.

    What about Wilders WBC belt? is that nothing too? So under your understanding of boxing 'heavyweight champion of the world' means nothing? LOL

    You sure you follow boxing?

    I didn't say it means nothing. Being the WBC champion obviously means something. The green belt is a very prestigious belt. That being said, when it's all said and done, you are remembered for who you beat, not the belts you hold. Parker is a waste of time. I can't wait till Joshua destroys him. He can go back to fighting those Maori Rugby players who started boxing in their 30's.

    Put your tips away lol. Let me educate you in boxing. Joshua vs Martin was not a unification bout, it was a title shot for the IBF hevayweight title. Thats all that was up for grabs lol. Come on.

    Actually you're right.. it wasn't a unification bout. I forgot that was Joshua's first title. But let's say Charles fought Wilder for a unification bout instead of selling his belt to Joshua like Parker. Would you say it's the best vs best? Or would you admit that belts are overrated and politics play a big part? Parker is trash, STRAIGHT CACA, STRAIGHT GARBAGIO. You will see when he fights Joshua. I'm going to tag you in 500 posts after the fight. He is not one of the best.

    That's not what the "if" mentality is. Again context is key you big dummy. If mentalities are used as an excuse for a fight that didn't go the way you wanted. So my question to you is "if" Charles Martin the IBF champion fought Wilder the WBC champion in a unification bout, would you say it's the best vs the best.
