    theres just a bunch of guys having a hard time coming to terms with the reality that their idols are ducking a man they have such a low opinion of
    Maybe who he is as a fighter. Unrealistic about everything else. Just look at how you all to justify his resume after 40 fights.

      In a historical sense I don’t agree with that. Aj has achieved more than Lewis by age 29 (the year he was knocked out by McCall)

        Actually agree with you, I keep saying their the best of a current crop...But the current crop is garbage.

        Joshua is the best out of the 3 overall but even he has frailties.

          people are really arguing over these 3 like either are really great...no none of them are great period and all are just the top of the poop pile...
          Neither Wilder nor AJ have particularly suspect chins. They can both be wobbled and decked when caught clean by 220lb+ guys, but then, so can any other HW you care to name - apart from maybe Oliver McCall and Vitali.

          Fury can box very well going backwards, and his feints never worked better than they did against Wlad, who has one of the best jabs in HW history.

            True, and he has done in far fewer pro fights and after much less amateur experience.

            The crazy thing about AJ is that, when you consider how late he took up boxing, and how few fights he has had, amateur and pro, he is still only a novice!

              As an aj fan that’s what annoys me on here. Especially when I see lennox lewis talk ***** about him. That’s why I possibly feel there might be some jealousy there. They want to call us fanboys for stating facts. What aj has done at 29 considering how long he’s been in the sport is incredible. You don’t achieve that without taking risks. People want to point out how little experience Deontay has as a boxer but to put it in perspective the year he turned pro was the year aj first put on a pair of gloves.

                And after winning the WBC title in his 33rd fight, Wilder was "still a baby at this" and not ready to fight Wlad, according to Shelley Finkel.

                      MUCH less? AJ had 51 fights in the Ams, Lewis had 96. You're acting like this is Lomachenko being compared to Luis Nery.

                      But I get it, you guys love AJ and don't like Lewis.

                      But you can go back to talking about how AJ is the only person in the world to take up boxing as a 17 year old and become a world champion...After all, Wilder didn't start boxing until he was 19, and had only 35 amateur fights...but that's completely different for some reason.
