AJ wanting Wilder instead of Fury is a chithouse move.

Wow, you literally cannot maintain a consistent argument to anything that I am saying.Fact is, Fury is the only one of the currect crop to have beaten an established, long-reigning champion. Can't deny that. Not only that but, he then comes back after 3 years out and beats the current longest-reigning champion all over again, only to be robbed of his victory!
Well done for using blatantly obvious common sense knowledge as your main source of your responses.Comment

Lool. Charles Martin was horrible that night but he looked a lot better when I saw him against konawacki a couple months backComment

yeah, the reason I thought the IBF was vacant was because it wasn't even supposed to be anywhere near Charles Martin. I think Martin was ranked like #5 in the IBF, and #1 was Glazkov. When the IBF stripped Fury they ordered the fight and the #2-4 ranked guys were tied up so it ended up being Glazkov vs Martin. Martin was getting his ass kicked and Glazkov tore his ACL. It's also why people say that Eddie bought the belt. Once Martin became champ, the managers of every top fighter started licking their chops and Eddie offered Martin some insane amount (I think it was 7 million pounds) to go defend his title against Joshua. Every manager knew it was an easy championship win.Comment

The fight didn’t really get going. I remember Martin doing alright up until the stoppage but I guess we will never know now.yeah, the reason I thought the IBF was vacant was because it wasn't even supposed to be anywhere near Charles Martin.

I remember being really happy with how that played out though it was karma. Kathy duva put in a request for an immediate mandatory with the ibf knowing full well that fury had to rematch klitchko and would have no choice but to vacate but it backfired when glazkov got injured.Comment

Fury easily defeated the longest reigning, unified Heavyweight champion of recent times, in his own hometown. He then had to vacate all but the Lineal.
- Martin won the vacant IBF
- Parker won the vacant WBO
- AJ beat paper champion Martin
- AJ won the vacant IBO and WBA Super
- AJ beat paper champion Parker
I don't want to take away from that win as I think it was down to Fury's pre-fight antics that Wlad only showed up in the 12th, which I guess is a strength in Fury's game.
AJ KO'd Klitschko Fury didn't so that's something he has on him plus the defenses. He is no.1 by nearly all organisations and has a better resume name/top ten wise hence nearly double the points of Fury and Wiler on boxrec. Fury aint gonna be no.1 to anyone but you and a few Wilder fans.
Just to add a little insult to inury, I reckon AJ will break Fury down to the body with some slick combo's and KO him when the time comes.Comment

true, though the IBF likely would have pulled that either way. As much as I love that they stick to the rules, they do it to a bloody fault at times.The fight didn’t really get going. I remember Martin doing alright up until the stoppage but I guess we will never know now.
