i mean im not born yesterday..i know why they were so adamant on wilder panning out and didnt want to see a comparison to someone that was not seen as a top fighter in his divisions even though he did hold belts

the black american heavyweight hasn't been seen as a top heavyweight in a long time esp after that dope era of heavyweights of the 90s if you were old enough to remember..it says something hasim rahman is the last american fighter to be THEE man at heavyweight

in the last 2 decades - hasim rahman, lamon brewster, chris byrd, and shannon briggs were heavyweight champions BUT they were overshadowed by the klitschkos (who ppl like to front on) or lennox lewis who were DOMINANT!!!...byrd was the most talented of the 4 and has the best resume but he never captured that type of attention..lamon had glitches before his reign...had some good wins as champion and lost his belt and prime in one of the greatest fights no one talks about because he lost to someone that was like ranked 13 by the wbo...rahman got his day in the sun and never really regained full form in the big fights...briggs got lucky in his 2 biggest victories.

so thats why when you have wilder knocking nikkas out like he was you have ppl contradicting themselves crazy on their own beliefs because they wanted a dominant black american heavyweight...glaring flaws and all..all of those 4 never got the support wilder did and they were better fighters than him..not briggs though..they were similar to a degree but thats another convo lol

Unfortunately fans are spoilt once the drought hit after only knowing sustained success for so long. 4-5 generations (depends on what your number for generation is) of being on top, sooner or later the struggle will come. Rocky 4 warned everyone the Klits were coming :hubie:


Imagine not having a Heavyweight Champion of the World for a century.


Thank you Lennox :blessed:

Fury's entrance was powerful to me, I watched it closely and it he was oozing confidence, he was singing on the way to the ring, but it wasn't the showy bullshyt he did for the Wallin fight where it was boastful and was a bit embarrassing the entrance. He looked supremely confident but completely relaxed and ready to carry out the task. I loved the song choice, very unconventional, and coming out on the throne fit nicely with his nickname.

I thought Wilder's entrance was really dope too, I particularly enjoyed the Pac Bomb First playing, fit in well with the Bomb Squad team name and also a nice tribute to Pac considering he was shot after the fight there in 96 all them years ago and led to his death.

They both hyped me up, in different ways, 1 was calm powerful, 1 was emotionally provocative, fight lived up to the hype.

Yeah fully agree with this.

Both entrances were incredible, exactly for those reasons.

Kenny Bayless is usually good but he was looking a little funny in this fight

Yea he was so bad I think he should get skipped for whatever the next mega fight is.
Technically he gave them a warning but that point deduction on Fury was kind of sus. We seen way worse holding than that not get a deduction

I dont even want them to wait that long, no words to describe how big that fight is gonna be.

Obviously theres the rematch clause and AJ's mandatory but I think they're gonna try and find a way around both of those obstacles and have them fight for undisputed around late summer time this year.

In fact I'm pretty sure mandatories can be postponed for a unification bout.

They can, but it would all hinge on Wilder turning down the rematch clause (or waiting ~1 year to excercise it, is that possible?)
