Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Cannot Believe How Highly People Rate Wilder, He's Never Beaten a Top-Five Foe

Simple propaganda statement. Hes about to use it to tell everyone why AJ is the A side and deserves more of the split and every other advantage that comes with it. Perhaps trying to derail the negotiations until after Fury-Ngannou. I maintain the thought that Eddie would rather find a way to bypass Wilder and go straight to Fury. He just needs to poke Wilders ego enough to have him pull out.

wilder has stopped or knocked down every single fighter hes faced

He has a legitimate claim to say hes the hardest heavyweight puncher of all time. Even if you think shavers or someone else is ahead of him he is atleast top 2-3.

It's gonna be mad embarrassing if Wilder KO's AJ in 3 rounds.

AJ has a chance of outboxing wilder. He does absolutely nothing better than fury. Would be a blunder to not fight wilder if the money is even remotely close.

As always Edward is wrong...! (twice in fact) , Wilder will ice Joshua .I just hope for Joshua's sake Edward is not evil enough to try and slip a rematch clause in there as two brutal KO's would really put pay to a Fury fight , there really would be nothing left for Fury to fight. One brutal Wilder loss and he could still earn a big 40% with Fury , many still want to see it, but two brutal losses and the greed will really catch up with Edward.

If Fury can't avoid getting knocked down by Wilder, you think the robotic bodybuilder is gonna avoid it for 12 rounds? Fury has incredible recovery, Joshua does the stanky legs every time he gets tagged. It's a 50-50 fight if Joshua goes for the kill, but if Joshua thinks he can outbox Wilder for 12 rounds and survive, I favor Wilder to land a big shot that will send Joshua into sleep land.

Bear? you mean the guy Wilder called "pillow fists" before the fight? The one who ran from crusier-weight Usyk?

Yes, Wilder trash talked and took his lumps.

Don't change the fact that Fury came in a super heavyweight and mauled him.

What makes Ortiz a more impressive win over Povetkin or Klitschko? Is it the eye test? Because Ortiz wasn't as accomplished as a professional or amateur boxer, compared to those two names.

If he beat a non retired klitsko or non 40 year old povetkin those wins would look better. If Ortiz were to fight AJ today would u take AJ? I would not personally

Luis Ortiz was top 5.

He did well vs Ruiz even after being older and KO'd by Wilder twice, clearly 2 credible wins for Wilder that was in the same league as people who have beaten AJ.
