It’s never been so clear we’re living in the participation trophy era. Wilder tried so hard, he’s awesome!

[-Kev-]

In reality, noob, journalists and fans have been giving major props to pro boxers who tried their best but came up short, for decades. For over a century, actually.

But yeah, go on and try to be cool, edgy and use trendy terms while knowing absolutely nothing about what it takes to be a top 10 fighter in a sport as tough as pro boxing.

You’re talking all that crap while likely not even being able to run a 1.5 mile run without collapsing like a weakling.

Wilder just fought a guy for a third time, who already showed he was better the first two times. In Wilder’s 3 fights vs Fury, Wilder fought in more risky, dangerous fights than most current fighters who are hyped as top 10 P4P have fought in their entire pro career. The size and height disadvantage Wilder faced, is more than many of these pro boxers are willing give up in just 1 fight. Hell GGG found Ward too big, just 8lbs above. Wilder just fought a dude who had 44lbs, 42lbs and 38lbs on him, respectively. And who was better skilled than him, and could take his power. Wilder knew this 100% after the rematch. That did not stop him from fighting him a 3rd time and probably giving his best effort yet.

Regardless, you clearly live a sad life. No one would ever look at you and even begin to think to give you a so-called participation trophy with your sad ass life. You clearly have nothing going for you. You wouldn’t even get a participation trophy for your participation in a boxing discussion forum despite you averaging like 100 posts per day.

Nope they haven’t. You’re lying or stupid.

Absolutely. I just think they all had better defense than wilder.

Not sure if you're saying simply having greater defense means you're trying to push your body beyond it's limits more but let's take Charles Martin then since that's an easy case. I believe he got knocked out in two rounds and two of the same style punches almost in row knocked him down vs AJ. In your opinion would you say that guy tried harder, during the fight and not in training or anywhere else, to push his body more than Wilder tried to push his vs Fury in the third fight?

[El_Mero]

Joshua got up from every knockdown he’s ever suffered and Fury isn’t even a big puncher.

According to Wilder, Fury hits like a bit.ch

Great post. Boxing is a sport in which the valiant effort and the tragic hero are celebrated. It's a primal combat/combat sports thing going back from 300 Spartans to the first Rocky movie to now. The whole "going out on your shield" is literally about fighting to the end in defeat. It's celebrated in human culture.

Not a fan of Wilder nor Fury but it was gripping drama. It was entertaining and both get my respect for what they offered.

The OP loves to post incredibly annoying, whiney topics in order to push his naive opinions of the sport.

[Pac=Duran]

It’s really impressive that Wilder tried his best to win the heavyweight championship.

Its not like that’s happened in every heavyweight championship fight in history or anything like that lol.

too mamy people in Weimerica were loving vicariously through Wilder, ans to see him oblitrrated by the gypsy king would have been too much without some undeserved **** sucking to soften the blow

[ShaneMosleySr]

I think Joshua punches 800 times harder than Fury does.

[Scopedog]

Yeah it's not like toughness, determination and courage are qualities that are respected in a combat sport like boxing or anything

I'd like to see you last even a quarter as long under the same conditions

[ShaneMosleySr]

I didn’t realize we were holding random people and former heavyweight champions to the same standards of toughness.

It’s almost like Wilder acted like a professional boxer in the ring lol.

[SN!PER]

AJ and Wilder both lost, but the performances of AJ are waayyy more embarrassing.

He was scared of a 6'1", 300 lbs. taco addict with midget arms. Then he got beat up by a Cruiserweight.
