    How did he achieve that with him not beating a single world class fighter? How is he better than Fury after Fury beat him 3 out of 3?
    1st day as a boxing fan?

      I stopped following the HWs since like 03’ cuz it’s boring as ***.

He's had enough opportunities to fight the best for a stinking amount of money way beyond the bums worth, but he turned it all down and ran like the coward he is to his core.

        You didn't answer to the question of what Wilder has done in the last 5 years to be a top 10 fighter? What's wrong, is the question too hard to answer so want to deflect instead?
        Wow. Those are some pretty strange thoughts ya got there son. Maybe try another sport to post about?

          It's dead everywhere.

            Even big fights like Joshua vs Wilder can no longer be made in America or UK. They're all waiting for the Saudi money. It's truly sad.

              Wilder vs Ruiz didn't materialize. Deontay didn't want to risk the Joshua fight that is in play early next year.

                    Any semblance of big fight coming eventually in the US in the heavyweight division?

                      Andy said he'd accept $10 million to fight Wilder. Seems fair enough to me, especially if Wilder truly believes he is a PPV attraction. Let's not forget, Wilder once turned down a career high payday of $7 million to fight Whyte in the U.K. with a guarantee at a shot with AJ if he won.
