    This reminds me of Jeff Lacy way back when. He was an incredibly limited and overrated fighter receiving unwarranted hype of crazy proportions and this European bum (Calzaghe) was avoiding him. We saw that happened and rather than give Calzaghe his props they just dropped Lacy right away and mysteriously now you go online and nobody is/was a Lacy fan. There isn't much loyalty among Boxing fans but there is a ton of hating and trolling.

    I think most of these Wilder "fans" are more into a fake duck than the actual fight also.

    jeff lacy had 200 amateur fights. and he wasn't at HW, where all you really need is a big punch and a good chin to have a shot to win every fight if you're fast.

    wilder's flaws are scrutinized, whereas lacy's really weren't. he's a fighter that ends up being more than the sum of his parts, given that he boxes like a novice and still made his way to becoming the second best HW in teh world, and the b side of teh biggest fight in boxing.

      HW just aren't as skilled as the lighter classes so having massive power + speed + reach goes further.

        I agree with a lot of this. Was around for Calzaghe vs Lacy. I've never seen so much humble pie, but here's the thing, most of those posters just disappeared. Very few actually answer for their statements, and generally being an annoying nuisance for months.

        Definitely agree with the last part, their are definitely posters who love that line, the monster, and the scared one. The older I get, the more immature this place seems.

Puncher comes along, lots of bandwagoners, Joshua is terrified, avoiding a face off, avoiding the fight, only this time you guys have really gone ******, because this time the guy that is 'scared' is fighting the better competition, accomplished more, and in a shorter space of time.

          Not only that, but at what point has he ducked the fight exactly? Shelly Finkel today, 'We are ready, tell us what to do?'

          This is what passes for a manager nowadays, talk about the opposite of proactive! Wilder needs a ***ing promoter, bad!

          Lastly - and ask yourselves this, what if that right hand doesn't land the right way for Wilder? What happens then? Historically how often does that jackpot punch land in these scenarios? It's always possible, but I wouldn't bet on it, 9 times out of 10 always go with the superior skills, technique, and boxing abilty.

          Wilder is just another Boogeyman who, more than likely will get dealt with, and after people will jump off the bus as quick as they got on, and then they will try to create the next one. The price of success.
          Get off of Joshua's ****, lmao.

            It was the same thing with Matthysse and Garcia. Guys like you talked **** about Garcia until he won...and you never bragged about Matthysse being the boogeyman again, lmao.

              I never ceases to amaze me. A closet Joshua fan and his alt talking that B.S about Wilder to make Joshua look good in light, lmao. When Joshua's stiff boring ass loses, the same thing that you said about Wilder's fans, Joshua's fans will jump right off the bandwagon. 3,2,1...

                the puncher usually loses these type of fights. i dont know what tactics they think joshuas gonna do but he sure as hell is not gonna be taking risks and trading. he'll fight like he did against parker and win an easy decision. wilder will walk into that jab all night long and unlike ortiz joshua has the speed of foot to get out of the way.

                  Obviously Anthony Joshua will likely win, but hell, it will be a good scrap. Wilder always make it exciting (aside from his first few rounds against Ortiz).

                    Joshua is only one example of what has been going for years.

                    Anyway none of your ranting makes any sense anyway. You'll be one of these posters I'm talking about.
