Comments Thread For: Haye: Maybe Third Spot is As Good As It Gets For Wilder - Maybe Not

[Roberto Vasquez]

Haye speaks a lot of sense. 3rd best HW is a damm good still.

No one knows anything about the top 3 other than Joshua is definitely top-3. Fury and Wilder could be anywhere in the top 6. And Wilder could still turn out to be the best if he beats Fury and then AJ.

Fury is clearly the best heavyweight in the world.

Wilder's only loss is to Fury so I'm not convinced that Anthony Joshua should rank above Deontay. They would have to settle that in the ring.

I still think Wilder knocks out anyone, except Fury. Fury is too clever, has a good chin as well and great recovery instincts and will. It's very hard to knockout a guy like that. Wilder would have Joshua doing the Amir Khan dance in my view.

But if Fury can have Wilder going stiff from hes non puncher pillow fists, what would AJ do? Goes both ways, but AJ has fought and beat young guys who hit hard. Wilder lost the first young good fighter he fought.

I think AJ has it on opposition. I mean, Wilder hasn't got a Klitschko, a Parker or a Whyte. Only an older, slow, and high blood pressure sufferer in Ortiz. The first good young guy Wilder fought, the first young guy who could hit him, he fell apart.

Not clearly. Fury has only fought only ONE top-10 fighter in 4-5 years. How you can say he is no. 1 from that I don't know. If AJ had only beaten Wilder in the last 4 years would you now say he is no. 1? "No" is the answer.

AJ is the only one who is actually proven top-3 although yes he may well be ranked behind Wilder and Fury when they fight more top-10 fighters

Notice how the pic only showcases Wilder's upper torso & not his stick-figure legs.

I don't agree about Fury's pillow fists, I have said for years that he is a puncher. Multiple boxers who have sparred both AJ and Fury say that Fury hits as hard or harder. They have a difference in style, where AJ usually puts all or most of his power into all of his shots, Fury is more of a point scoring boxer, when he goes for it, very few would survive 12 rounds.

I'm no hype believer, but I can't see anyone outside of Fury, Joshua, Usyk who would give him to much trouble.
Maybe a game Ruiz if he's fit, but he was easy to hit against Joshua in both fights, granted he out worked Joshua in the first, and will get flattened without changing his style.

Whyte is risky but is even easier to hit, so I can see him getting sparked early, no doubt that he has a good chance now Wilder's air of invincibility is gone.

Washington, big baby, Martin and even Pulev I see getting destroyed by Joshua, Usyk, Wilder and Fury. Outside of those there's really only Dubois who will be protected by Warren for a while yet, maybe for a vacant title when it becomes available.

Big Baby is my dark horse in the division.

Great white dope is a cheat

White media is ignoring Fury's Wild Boar Steroid Fraud scandal. Look how they are ignoring this blatant cheating and Steroid scandal and every time Bones Jones farts they are there to remind the world they found micro traces of steroids in his urine. Which could have come from eating A Big Mac from all we know. You White bastards have no shame or honour. You are pathetic Skkkumbags.

You guys who are saying that Fury is the best heavyweight in the world, were the same ones saying that Fury would lose the rematch hahaha. He can't be both. Also, this is the same Fury that looked like crap against Wallin just a few months ago. Now he's the greatest thing since sliced bread? And when Fury beat Klitschko, it was the ugliest heavyweight championship fight ever, with round 3 punch stats being 2 punches landed to 1. Fury landed a total of 86 punches and Klitschko landed 52. Yet somehow the AJ vs Ruiz rematch was worse when AJ outlanded Ruiz 107 to 60? Fury put on a masterclass and but AJ ran???? That makes no sense. fury did his thing against Wilder, but Fury has never defended a title so let's stop short of calling him the best, shall we? Also, he was on steroids when he beat Klitschko so we will see how he fairs now drug free
