wilder must have probably holding all the cards if he had grown up to this mentality earlier...

Daring to be great 40 fights in is one thing, but he could have started fighting someone with a pulse far earlier.
For all the **** I give Fury about his bigotry and dodgy drugs test, he got in the ring with Klitschko in his 25th fight and made him look ordinary. Joshua fought him in his 19th, and although he had more trouble did what Fury couldn't and knocked him out. Wilder never even tried for the Klitschko fight. The first decent fighter he tried to fight was Povetkin (somehere around the mid-30 point of his win record) which was cancelled due to the ruski failing a drugs test. Then Ortiz which was initially cancelled for the same reason before the old man got a 2nd bite of the apple; probably because everyone is 99% certain that Ortiz is 10 years older than he claims to be, plus he needs heart and asthma meds on a daily basis. Now he signed up to fight Fury, who he thought was completely shot based on his 2 atrocious come-back fights.

... now Wilder is comparing himself to Muhammad Ali...
... well, what's more to be said here!?!...

What risks has Wilder taken? Fury is a good name but it's not that much of a risk right now and we know that.

AJ stepped up early

Fighting two back to back undefeated opponents, in which one is the lineal world heavyweight champion of the world is a form of risk taking my friend. Luis Ortiz was both ducked, avoided and undefeated when Wilder challenged him and so is Tyson Fury. If he wins on Saturday night against the the "Gypsy King" then he has definitely earned the right to be considered a fighter of the year candidate.

If he wins, he can be considered in that list but I wouldn't call Fury an avoided or ducked fighter.

That is why Wilder took this fight thinking Fury isn't ready for this fight and priced him self out of fighting AJ.

Wilder wasn't on some hustle pal to fight Fury. It was Fury who had reached out to him for a potential bout. It's not the other way around. Fury saw that his fellow countrymen was afraid of the "Bronze Bomber", therefore he stepped up to the plate, in order to save face and show AJ up by restoring honor and glory back to Great Britain after Joshua so badly disgraced it with his cowardice.

What risks has Wilder been taking against the bums he has fought compared to AJ's risks?
He only took one risk against old man Ortiz thinking he could easily beat him and the Wilder says at one the 3 day press conferences that "Age is just a number" after Fury goaded him about nearly getting beat by an old man.

If you examine their resume's closely, Joshua's resume is no better than Wilder's. They both have their list of limited and overmatched opponents on their resume's.

If what you say is true, then why has AJ been ducking old man Luis Ortiz then? Or why he has been ducking Deontay for all this time if he only has fought bums and tomato cans then?

These are the facts, Wilder is about to fight his second undefeated and lineal champion in a row. He fight the guys that AJ would only fancy the chance at fighting.

Your boy Wilder demanded 60-40, then 50-50 in his favour...you clearly know he priced himself out right? He is clearly the B side here and it is bloody obvious for this fight with Fury still not sold out...hahaha yet Fury brings in more fans and buys in Wilders own country. How can you fan girls call Wilder peoples chanp when most people clearly do not know him...lolsss.

After Saturday night the whole world is going to know who he is and that is a fact. He would be crowned the lineal's peoples champion.

I wouldn't call Fury an avoided or ducked fighter.

Exactly, it's not what I meant. What I meant was that Fury was undefeated but you are right however. Tyson has never been ducked or avoided. I was referring to Luis Ortiz who Wilder is contemplating rematching again, if he becomes victorious on Saturday night.
