Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: Wilder is Better Champion, Slightly Ahead of Joshua

[Pennsauken1]

Well said, Tyson Has Some Balls Fury!!!!

[MrShakeAndBake]

Wilder is definatly beating Fury. and can possibly beat AJ and Usyk. too fast and KO power is of the chart. He lacks technically but he can bang.

Hearn was trolling Wilder fans last week but now the tables have turned.

How so? All this does is make the aj fight bigger for the winner. Hearn wants wilder to raise his profile this is a good way to do that.

So did wilder. He just beat Ortiz who was undefeated and avoided like the plague. Before that he beat Gerald Washington who was also undefeated and ranked in the top ten. He also beat stiverne twice. Let's not forget that stiverne was considered the #2 heavyweight in the world the first time wilder schooled him for 12 rounds. What exactly am I missing here???

Stiverne #2...based on wat? One notable win over a fat pot smoking beer-bellied Arreola? Thats where his bs title came frm...it was vacated by V. Klit. And Washington was not ranked in top 10..was considered a novice boxer(former footbalk player). AJ has defeated 3 current top 10 - Whyte, Parker, Breazele - each undefeated at the time. Add Klit and Takam...resume at 21 fights way better than Wilder with 40.

Have you been listening to what is being said? Fury is lashing out strongly and people are siding with him and not just Wilder fans, some Brits even. If he doesn't fight the winner in April because of a million dollars here or there, as Fury said, then it's only going to get worse. He will no longer be considered the man in the division as he is now, but for half of the public.

Both Wilder and Joshua are poor champions IMO.

He has lost a lot of weight in a fairly short amount of time. No fighter after a period of time out that comes back is ever the same again.

I don't think he is serious about fighting Wilder in December, why would he take such a high risk fight and lose the chance of a massive fight against AJ?

It makes sense for him to come back slowly, let AJ fight Wilder next year for all the belts (then on the assumption that AJ wins) then fight AJ, that way he is letting AJ do the leg work in collecting the belts and in the meantime he is getting back on track?

He's absolute scum so I hope he dies beforehand but you know, it doesn't make sense for him to do it. Boxing is after all a business nowadays.

It appears that Fury's world doesn't orbit around Joshua, Hearn and their supporters. Fury will get a very nice pay day against Wilder and Wilder will absolutely get the best payday of his career by far. The winner of their fight will clearly be in line to fight Joshua next. Joshua will need to get his head out of the clouds and agree to a fair split of revenue if he expects to fight either of them.

I'm not sure Fury is serious about Wilder either, more likely he's using Wilder's name to stoke up friction with Joshua to sell a Joshua fight down the road. But we'll see.

Fury needs a couple of more fights to be able to get back to anything close to where he was; Wilder in Dec would be too much too soon. His ego/hubris/bravado/stupidity might convince him otherwise, but he'd come out of the ring blaming his inactivity for the loss and that he would easily beat Wilder next time...maybe that's the plan ?

“Operating above their stations.”

Erm, Anthony Joshua is the unified Heavyweight champion of the world. Would you rather he operate below his station?

I wonder if you’d have a problem if he was American

Joshua climbed to the top of the mountain and then built a wall around it. Wilder is the foreign invader and much feared and demands that Joshua tear down the wall. Joshua buries his head and trembles with fear at this mighty conqueror who will hand him his head on a platter. All this is of course metaphorically speaking.

Wilders cool, but using Washington to strengthen your argument is poor.
