Comments Thread For: Fury Notwithstanding, Wilder-Joshua Remains The Era's Defining Heavyweight Fight

[Tecnoworld]

We have both Fury and Usyk that are better boxers technically. Ok, the hype is all for AJ and Wilder, but...AJ looked pathetic in his last 2 matches with Ruiz and Wilder would have dramatically lost by UD both vs Fury and Ortiz, if it weren't for the kd/ko.

Then we have incoming prospects (DDD, Ajagba, Yoka, Kownacki and others) some of which can be the new sensation.

So, who knows? I simply don't see AJ or Wilder as the old ones you mentioned in the article. Not Iron Mike, not Lennox, let alone Alì, Foreman or Frazier.

There's a reason Usyk is ducking Del Boy, he's waiting to cash out against Joshua.

My sentiments exactly. After Usyk got a taste of an unboiled down heavyweight, he knows what time it is.

This fight, Wilder vs Fury II is the big show, AJ flubbed his chance. The best heavy weight boxer vs the biggest puncher of the era. AJ isn't the best boxer, or puncher, or iron chinned, or mentally strong, or able to perform on the big stage, or able to face down the top and on and on and on.

I stopped reading when the joker writer wrote Wilder is charismatic...

What absolute drivel. Wilder vs Joshua would be a fight worth watching, but Fury is much better than Joshua and has way more personality. Fury vs Wilder is the biggest fight in HW boxing. I'd like to see Joshua fight Dubois, and I'm very confident DDD would KO him very early, much earlier than pizza boy did.

Fury/Wilder 2 is for one belt, will not do anywhere near the kind of numbers either of them fighting Joshua would and its a fight between a guy who has faced one other top 10 ranked opponent vs a guy who literally hasnt faced any. How is that the "big show" or ultimate decider of anything?

I'm assuming that the writer of this ridiculous article is part of the PBC propaganda team.

Fury/Wilder is a big fight because of Fury, not Wilder.

Wilder couldn't fill small venues in his own home town till he became associated with AJ and Fury.

Fury/AJ would be a bigger fight than Wilder/AJ, and it's a fight that would actually happen. We already know that Wilder won't fight AJ, so what's the point of even talking about that one?

Boxing needs Fury to get rid of Wilder and make an undisputed HW title fight possible. It's never going to happen while Haymon has control of one of the belts.

Iron chinned, best boxer is up for debate but one thing I never thought I'd see on here (shame on me) is someone stating AJ isn't mentally strong or able to perform on the biggest stage. He's faced the most adversity out of this current crop with the embarrasing Ruiz loss before overcoming all the naysayers and mental demons to win the rematch handily. AJ has been on the big stage the most also.

If Wilder and AJ ever fought i think it would do well on PPV. I'd say they could bring in 700k buys. But don't hold your breath on them fighting some bull crap will happen and then they'll write about the HW fight that could have been lol
