There's no way Joshua could have taken that punishment

    That’s something Wilder could hang his hat on. He took a beating AJ couldn’t.

      I don’t know if I’d go that far but I give wilder credit for fighting until the end. He should’ve stayed and interviewed after.

        Wilder and Fury gave it all. AJ wouldn’t have done what they did. He cowered against Ruiz and Usyk

          Al Haymon's biggest start just got ruined by a Brit.

              I was pulling for fury the whole way and at no point was I comfortable thinking he had it in the bag while he was beating the crap out of him.

              Wilder put on a great effort. He was at his very best while he got to fight Fury who out of these three fights, he was at his worse shape wide.

                AJ gets a panicked look now any time he gets rocked, ever since the first Andy Ruiz fight.

                    How do you know Fury gets to use AJ as a heavy bag like that in the first place? how many people have you seen Fury beat up like that? before the Wilder fights he was considered pillow fisted. He didnt destroy Wallin either and that was a few months before Wilder/Fury 2.

                      Joshua proved he's not a dog in the first Ruiz fight. With that said, we don't know if Joshua (or Usyk) would be in that position vs. Tyson Fury since they are much better boxers than Wilder.

                      I mean compare Wallin's performance against Fury to Wilder's last two. Wilder proved himself to be a tough warrior but his severe lack of boxing skill was finally exposed over these last 18 rounds vs. Fury. And it was that severe lack of boxing skill that required him to show his toughness.
