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

[juggernaut666]

I actually wonder why Wilder, for all his years boxing since he made his debut back in 2008 never fought Wladimir Klitschko. Or rather, even showed any real interest of boxing against Wladimir Klitschko. Wlad was still boxing for many years whilst Wilder was also boxing himself and whilst he was a title holder. Not once did they (Wilder and his team) even showed any real interest of boxing against either Klitschko brother. Considering how much passion and interest Wilder shows now to prove to be the best. Back in those days, Wladimir Klitschko was the undisputed best heavyweight with most belts and was the lineal champion. So why didn't Wilder want to prove himself then?

The situation is extremely funny!

Thats bc Klitchko used him as a sparring partner in 2012 for Wach and it stayed with him since . Wilder is the type of guy who will preach to others but not follow through himself . He states champions dont need to take soft touches and thats exactly what hes done since winning the belt from Stiverne .

Klitchko would have knocked Wilder out ,ANY competent person who watched his title defenses would clearly see that . The problem is he plays the " Everyone is ducking me game " and it makes him look idiotic but i guess thats why his fanbase is the most idiotic ive ever seen ?

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.

I don't want to **** on any of these guys i love heavyweight boxing. But watch Lennox Lewis vs Tua and Aj vs Takam.....

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.

I have not met 1 other boxing fan who has told me they would want to watch that fight again. That was a TERRIBLE fight! Klitz looked like he was OD on sleeping pills and pain medicine while fury was trying to set the record for most feints in a boxing match.

fury had the biggest win in the sport in years and squandered it on drugs, got overshadowed by roidboy so soon after that nobody even remembers

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.

Actual meaningful fights build up a fight not ridiculous rants . Meaningful fights sell and impressive wins (the Stiverne one was his first ) do . Ridiculous rants only go so far unless you are widely known , he will take a fight with a top 5 opponent if hes actually serious about building up a Joshua fight not riding on Joshuas name .

Yeah well he knocked Klitschko out, Fury didn't. 20 fights and he's fought better more dangerous fighters like Klitschko and Breazeale. Who the hell has he fought in 39 fights, Stiverne and Washington. B1tch please.

Lol Wilder wants to talk about impressive wins?

[jonnyc420]

He's right, AJ had problems with an 41 year old klitschko, now him and his diva fans think he's Ali...Fury toys with Joshua even with the gut he has now lol

At least AJ would take those fights, meanwhile Wilder is just all talk and wont even fight Whyte lol

Only in today's watered-down world would a decision be more impressive than a TKO.

Actual meaningful fights build up a fight not ridiculous rants . Meaningful fights sell and impressive wins (the Stiverne one was his first ) do . Ridiculgous rants only go so far unless you are widely known , he will take a fight with a top 5 opponent if hes actually serious about building up a Joshua fight not riding on Joshuas name .

Actual meaningful fights come with risks attached. A loss would undermine the appeal of the big payday fight, those two unbeaten records would be a key part of the pre fight marketing.

Rants on the other hand are risk and cost free. The name of the game appears to take as few real risks as possible in advance of getting Wilder in a ring vs Joshua, so expect to see more rants and nothing opposing Wilder more credible than a Brezeale or similar.
