You have to admire Wilder. He's the best heavyweight in the world, avoided by Joshua and most of the elite heavyweights yet maintains a positive attitude. Maybe they should start marketing Wilderlike Joshua and carefully cherry pick his opponents. I am so amazed all the press Joshua gets yet his biggest claim to fame is getting off the floor and finally stopping a gassed 41 year old already beaten EX_CHAMPION who hadn't fought is 18 months yet the British press makes it sound like he just beat a prime Mike Tyson. There is no question Wilder is the best active heavyweight in the world today and it's understandable while Joshua stays well protected from him in England.

There certainly are some things to admire about Wilder.
The rest of what you've wrote is rubbish though... and to claim a guy with 21 fights that holds 3 of the 4 belts has cherrypicked his opponents whilst worshipping a guy that made no attempt to fight any notable heavyweight until his 33rd/34th fight shows the indisputable bias there.
Don't forget Wilder's biggest claim to fame is stopping a gassed 38 year old Cuban that had failed to win any title (i'm not counting a WBA interim title as a proper title here) and had a decorated amateur career of over 300 fights... that he failed to win any international title from. Very easy to twist things isn't it?
Joshua rising from the canvas and defeating Klitschko in his 19th professional fight is still a huge achievement no matter how much you want to try and spin it (PS, Wilder's standout fight against Ortiz was also a huge achievement).Comment
