    That's fair but he's a British heavyweight champion - he'd be a draw regardless.

    If Liz Truss held those belts she'd be packing them into Wembley just the same.

      Wilder was an Olympic medal winner. Parker was not. Wilder had been a champion for about 3 years. Parker had been a champion for about 1 1/2. Wilder had 6 or 7 defenses. Parker had two. Wilder won his title decisively off a reigning champion at least one defense. Parker won his on a controversial decision in a vacancy fight.


      Debatable. Offers have gone back and forth from both sides.



      Again debatable. Since his return Fury has fought a few guys nobody had heard of then was locked into a trilogy with Wilder.



      All of this could apply to the whole division really. The division hasn't been that deep. Joshua's resume is one of the better ones at HW right now.

      When Ortiz was an interim Champ Joshua was inexperienced.



      I'd say the Wlad fight was dangerous. He was way more experienced, was a big puncher and almost had him out of there. The Ruiz and Usyk fights were obviously dangerous evidenced by the results.

      Commendable, how many times you broke up one quote. I'm too lazy so I opted for a color code inside your quote. Just in case you didn't notice.

        Poor Blubber, big blubbery body with a tiny brain being drained for peanut butter again, a mouse of a shadow of a man.

          Well spoken? You did see that nonsense he was spewing after the 2nd Usyk fight, didn't you?

            Exactly. His whole career has been the path of least resistance........for the most money. And even that approach failed, TWICE when he fought Usyk.

                I don't consider him a coward.

                I don't consider anybody who steps in a boxing ring a coward, especially not no heavyweight.

                But, it was also painfully obvious to everybody who'd followed boxing a little bit and wasn't an English Muffin that Anthony Joshua was product of Eddie Hearn & Team GB's hype machine.

                All that talk about resume when there's only 3 HWs that mattered, Fury, Wilder, and Joshua.

                Until he fought Fury or Wilder, he fought nobody.

                Look at how easy Fury mows through guys like Whyte and Chisora. None of those dudes mean nothing.

                We know that Hearn was never going to let him fight Fury or Wilder unless the conditions were 100% favorable to him, which is why Fury's jerking Joshua around now. He remembers how he was treated by Hearn & Joshua when Joshua was on top

                  - - Blubber walked on Hearns' Saudi guarantee of $150 mil split 50/50 with AJ to fight Deyonce for their peanuts trilogy.

                  Why U never say what nursery school they be keeping U in?

                      Are you being serious right now?

                      Look at the date of your source: 3:09 PM · Oct 31, 2020

                      Look at the date of this video: Apr 13, 2018





                      Of course! Who can't?
                      Not ducking. Wilder obvilously ducked he didnt he just wanted the right negotiations which is rightfully at the time 60/40 fight which Aj recieves the most.
