It started with Joshua vs Wilder but ends with Fury vs Usyk

Would the Joshua vs wilder fight have been bigger?

[Baltimore]

Without a doubt

[Smash]

wild horses couldnt drag AJ Wilder into the ring for whatever reasons

took quite a while to get fury into this ring too, the saudis oiled the palms of all concerned and hey presto it happened

modern day boxers and their demands i guess

Joshua vs Wilder would’ve been much bigger.

But at this point it is what it is. Fury has proved he’s better than Wilder and Usyk has proved he’s better than AJ. So on paper this is technically a better fight but it doesn’t feel as exciting as AJ vs Wilder.. I’m still hyped regardless.

- - Deyonce and Blubber were the Weak Links in the title grab, thus they both ducked AJ for each other. Watching Blubber blubber in the ring after Usyk humiliates him...priceless!!!

Would probably have been more explosive but let's see what we get tonight

[Toffee]

Much bigger.

Joshua v Wilder should have been made and was a massive missed opportunity but the key factor here was the Saudis.

Nah, Fury - Usyk is bigger for me. Im am more boxing purist, I have always found Joshua and Wilder overrated.

The WORLD wanted the popular Anthony Joshua to be one of the two belligerents featured in the crowning of one undisputed world's champion.

But A.J.'s limits in the ring simply would not cooperate.

Loses to Ruiz and Usyk are what prevented his participation in this moment.

No matter. While Ali was the round robbin winner; Frazier, Norton and Foreman were still able to forge their own pathway to immortality and greatness.

A.J. might yet follow in their footsteps.
Even, just perhaps, outlasting his finest contemporaries.

The one safe bet is whatever happens with Fury v Usyk; Wilder v Joshua would have been a more thrilling fight.

While AJ gets to rebuilt feasting on Jermaine Franklin and Francis Ngannou types; Wilder is somehow talked into walking through fire after a 2 year break against slippery Parker and stone head Zhang, top 5ers to mount HIS comeback

Sure as shinola, SOMEBODY still wants Joshua to stay FAR, FAR away from Wilder's bazookas.
