Remember: Fury was a cherry gone wrong for Wilder.

Hindsight is 20/20... These forums were LITERALLY making Wilder the next ATG HW already.

I know bro, not me though.

People now have a perception that Wilder is some sort of warrior for fighting Fury twice, but we should ought to remember that Wilder only fought Fury because he thought Fury was shot after 2 years out of the ring from ******* and depression.

Wilder cherry picked Fury for a resume booster and it backfired, because even Fury being at 60% of himself, it is still too good for Wilder to beat.

Co-sign! Had Wilder beat Fury the 1st time, he wouldve claimed to the Lineal HW Champion! He kept complaining about it in the lead up to the rematch, along with his idiot fans, that lineal doesnt mean anything, its made up, blah blah blah. Then Fury commenced to put a beat down on the bumpkin!

Fury is now the WBC and LINEAL HW Champ.

Can`t blaim Wilder for this, to be honest. Fury looked like a crap against Pianeta and Seferi. But Fury is special fighter, he looks bad against bad opposition while he always looks good in bigger fights. Ignorant Americans didn`t know that.

Not speaking out of hate for Wilder at all, however OP is 100% correct. The first fight was a horrible, horrible cherry pick that backfired. He was lucky to get a draw. VERY lucky. I could even argue that getting that gift of a draw was a stroke of bad luck for him, since he got annihilated in the 2nd fight.

Saw way too many idiots acting like Wilder and co. were taking risks here. He was trying to steal a vulnerable scalp to ride on a fake high. Was building a fraud’s career.

If Wilder fought guys Chisora fought, he would have many losses as well.

Wilder also can`t beat Fury ( we already know) and Wilder would also lose against Whyte, Haye, Vitali Klitschko, maybe he would even lose close decision against Kabayel, Pulev, Helenius.

you are right...

No they didn't, most people saw through the ruse. How could you say something so patently untrue with such confidence?
