Comments Thread For: How Messy Did Things Just Get at Heavyweight?

Its not messy. Get fury v joshua on , biggest uk fight of all time.

An average article. Reducing the Joshua-Fury fight to a stadium event shows the ignorance, or is it bias?, of the writer.

That comment wasn't "reducing" anything, it was a reference to the talks that they might literally build a stadium for the AJ/Fury fight.

Wilder fought Ortiz so what are you talking about ? He didn't have a lackluster 9 years because of Povetkin . Ha

Povetkin tested dirty twice and got both fights canceled

And first Ortiz fight was canceled due to him testing dirty.

And it's disingenuous to pretend that Deontay didn't have trouble fighting people for the same reason guys like GGG do. They're high risk, low reward fighters.

The US isn't like Britain which rolled out the red carpet for guys like Joshua & Khan.

Nobody really cared about boxing in America if it wasn't Floyd, De La Hoya, or Pacquiao for many years, so there was no money or reason to fight a guy like Wilder.

All Joshua has said is how irrelevant Wilder is in his homecountry and that was true up until about 2 years ago, when Haymon finally started getting him fights at the Barclays with more media coverage.

So your still basically blaming Wilders career on a single mandatory in 2016 who actually won his court battle and passed the failed legal limits of that substance ?

Wilder also banned Ortiz meds and he didn't pass his pre fight physical and almost beat wilder. Does this also take away from wilders career or is it strictly limited to Povetkin as the cause of such a abysmal career of ten years?

The U.S isn't like anything if the HW champ fights the guys he's fighting while being protected in Barclays center with no promotion or in Alabama .

That's 3 fights, not 1 genius that were canceled against top heavyweights due to usage.

Like I said, he's a high-risk low reward fighter because of his power, but lack of star power.

Those types of fighters always have trouble getting big fights.

GGG suffered from the same fate. It's disingenuous just like when the anti-GGG people do it, when they know most promoters steer their fighters away from guys like that.
