Comments Thread For: Wilder: Fury's Klitschko Win is Impressive - Joshua Not So Much!

Lmao. If you aren't an author you should be.

Thank you, that's very kind of you, although I'm actually already employed by Deontay Wilder's management team. Every day I write a new bedtime fairy story in which Deontay actually fights and beats a credible heavyweight opponent. Deontay's Babysitter reads it to him whilst he has his milk and cookies before sleepy time.

Tonight Deontay will be hearing all about the day he fought and beat Klitschko. It's one of his favourites, especially the part where he slips whilst throwing his windmill punch but his fairy Godmother helps him regain his footing in time for him to beat the nasty man and win another gold star.

A fit healthy and focused Tyson is unquestionably one of the best heavyweights of the 21st century along with Lennox Lewis and Wlad. AJ, Wilder, Parker are doing their best but nowhere near

It’s highly questionable, he’s had 25 fights and only one against a credible opponent. Maybe he is a top level fighter but talent is nothing without the discipline and a record to prove it.

Nah this is all part of the game. The trick is to command as many headlines as possible so Deontay is firing from as many angles as he can. Talking up the currently irrelevant, but still newsworthy Fury helps to talk down Joshua and stoke interest in them eventually getting down to business.

If the roles were reversed and Joshua was currently out of action whilst Fury held the coveted number one spot he'd be saying the opposite. That Furys win was the televised equivalent of morphine and that he had more respect for poor suspended Joshua. It's all a game.

Nah ,Wilder just isnt smart . If he wanted to generate interest more ,he takes the Whyte fight and doesn't water down Joshuas career as hes been doing . That is doing the OPPOSITE of building up the fight . Poor Joshua has to hype Wilder up so the fight actually looks better than what its going to resemble in the ring , Joshua knows full well he has this guys number and Wilder chance of winning is extremely slim.

There's 2 arguments to this.
Fury is a better win. But Josh's win is good for having been pro four only 4 years and 16 fights.
So its hard to even compare.
But if you just not be too kind on josh cos of being newbie then fury is a better win.

Ok so if you guys were so impressed with furys win what would you rather rewatch fury wlad or wlad aj.

Fury won because he was less dreadful that night. It really wasn't impressive it was dreadful to watch. Fair play to fury he played to his strengths and won but please no one was impressed by the end of the night it was a terrible fight.

I know it's cool to **** on everything aj had accomplished but let's be honest here.

One was fight of the year and the other looked like two rtards trying to stare each other down...

I respectfully disagree, he made the press didn't he? This thread, whatever Twitter reaction it generated etc. All of it will be being indexed by social media analysts and used to bolster the case for Wilder's value.

There is a clippings file being collated. Every news item is a win. Expect Wilder to be coming out with more contentious hyperbole than Donald Trump on acid in the weeks ahead.

Fury beat a younger Wlad that hadn't lost in 10 years. Joshua went life and death with Wlad that had come off an 18 month lay off, older and coming off a loss.

Joshua's team thought Wlad was ripe for the picking at that point, which is why they made the fight. They were right but it almost backfired because Joshua simply isn't THAT good. He is good but not an A level fighter.

Big stiff AJ would have been a tailor made opponent for Wlad in his 30's. Wlad in his 40's was just too far over the hill and still almost took him out.

Exactly! I'm not saying all fights have to be an all out war for a victory to be impressive, for example Hopkins vs pavlik was a systematic dismantling, by no means a war but I would deem that a very impressive performance. I was a lot of things after that fury wlad fight but impressed wasn't one of them.

The more times I read this the more impressive Wilder's resume becomes and the slimmer and more conditioned Tyson Fury becomes.

Each millionth repost would easily convert one of those bums Wilder was knocking down at the equivalent stage of his career into a top level heavyweight and remove one of the rolls of fat from the Gypsy King's blubber suit.
