Atm I have. 1 Fury 2 AJ 3 Wilder it's only one loss same as AJ,, can Wilder come back??? 4/5 Ruiz and Whyte in no order who knows maybe can gate crash the top 3 & make a loss or 2. Fury the only unbeaten HW now,, so is no1 out on his own.
They don't need to fight for everyone and their dog to know AJ is currently ahead. To suggest a guy who just got whooped by his first live opponent is in front of the guy with four belts is one of the dumbest things I've read.
These are world class competitors.i should imagine it's a very tough pill to swallow knowing that you just got beaten down by a better fighter. Their lives are dedicated to this. It's probably much easier to search and find some fictional exterior issue than to face the Cold hard reality. Wilder felt the fury plain and simple.
It's worse, once a flawed Lion who some thought was king of the jungle, gets exposed this badly, the lesser predator animals who saw what happened will be pressing him too. Haning back gives Wilder many chances to land his bomb and take fewer shots. That's not the best way to beat him. Anyone who hits harder than Fury ( which is 70% of the top 20 ) now knows all they need to do is press Wilder, he can't take their punches and will go down early. Without a fight defining jab to keep people away, fundamentals on defense, and foot speed he's going to be Ko'd again if he fights a top contender in his prime. We haven't even seen if he can come back, mentally speaking.
Of course belts mean nothing. Still, there is no way on earth you can say Wilder > Joshua at this point. I would probably pick Wilder over Joshua in a H2H (still close to 50/50 imo) but in terms of a HW ranking it's a clear 1. Fury 2. Joshua 3. Wilder now. To deny that you're either delusional or stupid.
I think the real challengers are the younger contenders who may already be ready to do a number on 4/5. Hrgovic and Dubois are ready to make noise. Also no Usyk? I think he'd tool both of them.
It seems pillows to the ear can burst an ear drum!! Lol Those bringing up AJ, he adjusted and won a rematch in an easy fashion, Wilder already lost twice to Fury and he can't make adjustments to win if there is a third bout!! That's why he is done!!
Usyk needs to prove himself @ HW Fury 2 good & big for Usyk @ this time. Hrgovic & Dubois I will wait & see how thay do & v whom but for now both are outside the top 5. ps I'd have Willan higher atm than them 3.
Wilder has been making excuses since the first fight. He even had the gal to tell fury not to make excuses which was hilarious when they were only coming from him. Saying that there are not many heavyweights if any can get out of the way of that right hand barring fury.
I don't think Whyte would be able to hang with Usyk and Ruiz? That guy can't be taken seriously until he shows up in some semblance of shape.
There’s zero point in Wilder rematching with Fury, unless it’s just for money and even that will be less than this one. I’d bet the PPV numbers would fall dramatically, I don’t think they’d sell out a big arena in Vegas again and in Wilders case he’ll get 40% of the reduced income. If he comes back via the route of rebuilding then he’s got to fight all the guys that he’s been avoiding for 10 years, Whyte, Chisora, Parker, Povetkin, Rivas, Martin then there Dubois, Ajagba, Joyce not to mention Joshua. He’s 35 years old and would be close to 37 maybe 38 by the time he rebuilds himself. He should retire and enjoy his family
