    Firstly, no one will admit it but I've been here long enough to know most of our current posters are kinda new to the sport. They might have watched but only became avid fans on the heels of Joshua's rise. Joshua doesn't get enough credit for bringing boxing up in general.

    Used to be the same folks until Money fights. Used to have a lot more slavs too.

    They came in repeating **** they heard on Youtube like "Wilder's never fought a top ten" then you show him he has and they add legitimate. They pick and choose who was a real top ten and who isn't. Under that mindset they feel free to pick and choose who was a legitimate prospect, champion, or contender.

    Funny how everyone else's ranks and title are legit but Wilder's wins are not.

    Bunch of kids who didn't even watch Chris rise up the ranks cried because Chris got the fight then said Chris was never legitimate.

    Same kids who didn't even watch Bermane go through the WBC then say **** like Wilder picked up Vitali's vacant....because they're that clueless.

    Same kids tell me Tony Thompson is legit but Sam Peter ain't.

    Dude, they just did not watch the k2 years and definitely paid no attention to the division.

    Cry about overnight ranking and mandos like that wasn't Wlad's bag.

    Cry about names as if they weren't men who were meant to face Klitschko.

    Call Wlad an ATG but cry about everything he left to Wilder to clean up in the same fashion he used to.

    Chris was the man who was meant to win, Bermane was an upset. Bermane was as real a champion as anyone Wlad ever beat but **** that because we now say anyone every holding a title or rank beat by Wilder ain't legit.

    Wilder didn't come up looking to fight Anthony ****ing Joshua. Wilder was on track for Vitali who was the champion most thought would win in a h2h between the k2 bros.


    It's all a bunch of ****, but hey, some *******s who just picked up their post count in ****ing 2016 got other opinions.
    I remember when Arreola was the next big thing, "The Nightmare". Simply didn't live up to the hype.
    His title fight with Stiverne seemed to appear out of thin air as far as I was concerned.

    Wilder boxed pretty well to beat Stiverne but neither man looked special and Wilder, who boxed fairly well on the night, would go to fight a bunch of patsies and fail to develop beyond his straight right.

    Wilder on track to fight Vitali is interesting. I never saw that fight happening at all and I doubt he retired just to escape Wilder.
    Then of course you've got Finkel's "baby champion" speech when asked about Wlad. This instantly casts Stiverne as inferior, which was the general opinion at the time anyway.
