Deontay Wilder OR Billy Joe Saunders?

[Gentblue]

The fact that Wilder gets blamed for his opponents failing drug test by hardcore fan shows why this sport is dying?????

[Jewish-Reptile]

I'm serious, all the guys I named are serious fighters, Saunders over Akavov who's not even ranked in the top 100

You'll have to excuse Daggum and forgive him, he's attempting to shed his former personality and blend in as an actual boxing fan these days only he hasn't quite grasped Saunders hasn't done a great deal and certainly considerably less than Wilder.

I think Saunders is worse. They both defend their belts against extremely weak challengers but Wilder makes title defenses more often.

[Lester Tutor]

4 KO defenses vs 1 boring the-distance-defense.

[HEND]

I wanted to pick Billy, I've mistaken

Wilder is the better fighter, more entertaining character and at least I see a lot more hunger in him than BJS who seem to be only motivated by cashing out already

[aretrospective]

Wilder's "reign" is worse for me. Only Stiverne was even close to the top 10. Arreola was very shopworn by the time Wilder fought him.

BJS has Eubank & Lee on his resume, but it's very thin after that. His reign also leaves a lot to be desired and I've only gone for his resume over Wilder's, P4P I'd probably go for Wilder at this stage.

It's close and I wouldn't argue too hard either way. Both need a Povetkin / Joshua or GGG / Canelo type coming out fight to prove they're genuine world class.

[BrometheusBob.]

BJS easily

Anyone who denies this is a Povetski fan boy who can't deal with his multiple positive drug tests

[Hatesrats]

Saunders is 100% a belt holder that will lose to ANY of the elite in or around 160lbs.

Wilder is a legit champ that is pick 'em with any elite HW

[j0zef]

Picking on Wilder is all the rage, however his competition has not been bad and it's clearly 5 steps above BJS right now.

[GGG Gloveking]

This should be a landslide in favor of Saunders. Wilder is actually making defenses, and travelled halfway around the world in good faith to fight an opponent. It's not Deontay fault that Povetkin was on drugs. Saunders meanwhile, ballooned up to 220lbs, and has only fought one bum (who he barely won against) in over a year as 'champ'.

Of course, I understand why Wilder gets votes. He is black..
