Is Wilder the fighter with the biggest balls in the sport?

People have short memories. Fury had been disgraced. Went into a deep depression and had substance abuse issues. Had a comeback fight where he looked horrible and that’s what got him a shot at Wilder.
It was a cherry pick gone wrong. Wilder wanted Fury’s name on his resume after he looked very beatable. Took no balls for him to take that fight.
I’ll give Wilder credit for taking the rematch. After getting outboxed for 90% of the fight and getting a gift draw he didn’t have to fight Fury again.
But that first fight was a straight cherry pick gone wrong.

- -Whyte, Fury, Deyonce and all American based hvys turned down Silly $ for AJ US debut after Big Baby popped save for Fat Andy whose Mexican.

They all wanted that easy low hanging fruit of Deyonce, so now AJ back to being the guy with the money pot.

Fury vs Wilder fer peanuts, so let them squabble over their peanuts!

No different to any bank exec, airline CEO, or tech boss.

True..........

To be fair to Wilder he did have Povetkin lined up until he got busted for PEDs.

I never saw him as a "ducker". He only became a disgrace after acting like he won the first Fury fight and coming up with the longest list of excuses in history after the rematch.

Was it? Usually the champion has the rematch clause not the challenger.
I know they signed a 2 fight deal for the rematch to do a trilogy but I would be surprised if Fury had a rematch clause. He didn’t have a lot of leverage negotiating for the first fight.

One thing say about Wilder is that he is more of a warrior than Joshua.

He has always shown a lot of heart when he’s hurt and never looked for way out unlike Joshua against Ruiz. He could’ve probably looked for the floor and a way out in the second Fury fight, but he didn’t.

Joshua spat out his gumshield and waited to be waived off. Once you do that once, you will always do it again when it gets to that point.

He is brave for sure.

Let's cut to the chase. The only reason why Deontay Wilder fought Luis Ortiz back in 2018 was because no one would touch Luis Ortiz. He was avoided.

In addition, the only reason why Wilder fought Tyson Fury after Luis Ortiz in 2018 in the first place was because AJ cowardly ass ducked him.

He fought Tyson Fury on the rebound instead; Since he couldn't fight Anthony Joshua. He fought Fury because he had the highest profile of any heavyweight boxer outside of Anthony Joshua at the time.

Wilder never really ducked anybody. He was literally on his way to Russia to Povetkin. This was when Povetkin was knocking guys out for fun, not the faded one from the past couple of years. It isn’t Wilder’s fault that Povetkin got busted for PEDs like Ortiz did for their first contracted fight.

The only fight that never happened was the Joshua fight, which wasn’t his own fault. I think both teams were to blame.

At the end of the day there was three fighters people considered as the top three and only two of them have been fighting each other, while Joshua fight lower level guys. Joshua might have a decent quantity of B and C level wins but never shown the willingness to jump right in against the best or most dangerous like Fury did right after a comeback
