how come wilders so highly rated all of a sudden?

[kafkod]

Wilder proved he is the best HW in the world by KO'ing Luis Ortiz.

Ortiz has never done anything in his career - apart from beating Bryant Jennings 3 years ago - but he almost KO'd Wilder, and Wilder has proved that he is the best HW in the world, so Ortiz must be a very, very dangerous man.

It all makes perfect sense - if you really want it to.

Wilder is like buster Douglas one good win.

[Madison Boxing]

Wilder was like 212 lbs against Ortiz who was like 250lbs and dropped him all over the place. He had the damn flu. What you think gonna happen when he trains healthy for a full camp for AJ? Pssssh. AJ barely won an old Wlad who was out for a while. That version of Ortiz could of beaten AJ or Wlad that night, REAL TALK.

Come off it man, he didn't have the flu. He's looked sloppy in most of his Fights that have gone a few rounds

[Madison Boxing]

No one were Wilder fans a year ago.

They are all just jealous that AJ - a brit - is running the show. As soon as AJ smashed Wilder, they'll crawl back and claim they were never really fans to begin with.

Predictable

Yeah, bunch of clowns

I don't think it's a case of anyone being a Wilder fan now. It's people watch what is going on and see the games AJ and Hearn are playing and are wondering why when most people feel AJ is the better fighter who should win easily.

No one serious denies AJ is running the show either. They are just saying since he is running the show he looks utterly silly when he tries to act like he is a no risk b side that can't get Wilder to fight him.

AJ is going to decide when the fight happens. if he continues to delay it then people are going to blame him. When he offers Wilder less than Parker even though he will generate more revenue, people look at that and question if AJ wants the fight. Some Brit fans and ex pros like Lennox Lewis are saying the same thing.

Guys like you, kafkod, and The Madison are for some reason trying to make it Wilder's fault.

[The Big Dunn]

How much respect does Wilder deserve, really? AJ gets far more respect in the UK than Wilder does here. And I don't believe it is solely because British fans get behind their fighters more. Wilder hasn't proven himself and we all know it.



You have to admit that Wladimir did not fight Fury the same way that he fought Joshua. We haven't seen Klitschko fight like that in a decade.

I posted same before. Wilder is not as proven as AJ and no one is pretending he is.

Fair point but Fury did beat him first, which is the man beating the man, AJ is the man that beat him after he lost.

People said he would get exposed by the likes Stiverne.... then grew silent as the fight approached.

People said he would never fight Ortiz, because he'd surely be exposed if he did. Ate their words.

And now Joshua's inarguably ducked him for the time being.

The phrase that comes to mind is "silencing your critics."

when u set the bar that low id say it would be easy to "silence the critics"

he beat stiverne when a few thought hed expose wilder. wow sensational silencing!

Wilder was highly underrated fighter with a highly underrated resume 2 years ago. Then all of the sudden, either due to patriotism or because their guy retired, they have become Wilder fans within the last year and are now strutting around like they know what the hell they're talking about.

I've been defending/saying good things about Wilder longer than most of his new 'fans', and most of them think I'm a Wilder hater. Dudes are pathetic.

[uppercut510]

hes limited skill wise but hes an exciting player in the HW division that has been dead for some time. some of us are just happy to see HW boxing and knock outs. nobody at HW is fully proven yet but its good to at least have names and pretty good fighters, I don't see many overrating him they just badly want to see him vs aj and it seems like every excuse in the world is thrown around.
