    Yes. That's not even questionable, it's fact. AJ has fought more top 10 opponents than Fury and Wilder combined.

    That’s not what I said. Are you trying to argue that AJ has fought better opposition than Fury?

    Fury has fought Wilder 3 times as of tonight, Wilder conversely has fought the best heavyweight on the planet as of tonight 3 times.

    AJ has beat an over the hill Povetkin, Klitschko who already had his soul taken by Fury in his own back yard and was beaten by a fat Mexican and a bloated cruiser.

    AJs fought more top 10 fighters than Fury, so yeah, he's fought the better opposition. I'm really curious about this pedestal that you're putting Wilder on here, I've attached his record to this post to prove the point. He's a fecking hoachin fighter.

    You mention Fury fighting him 3 times like that's any kind of trophy.

    I mention it because he’s a higher level of opposition than everyone AJ has faced other than Klitschko and Usyk.

    Away you go. I get you've probably had a few after a massive win for Scotland but that's just an outright lie. Again, go back and look at Wilders CV (there ranks at the time of the fight are listed also).

    AJ and Fury are more than capable of beating each other. Wilder has the question marks but he's fun to watch only for that one punch.

    Wilder does have a very dodgy CV though - Almost *.

    If you think Povetkin, Ruiz and Pulev are better than Wilder you are either a casual or at at the wind up.

    You've consistently avoided how inflated Wilders CV is - I've provided proof for your own convenience that shows the level of fighters Wilder has been fed and its nothing short of embarrassing for a former Champ.

    Not living upto your name here P.

    The irony in bringing up avoidance.

    If you believe that anyone other than Klitschko and Usyk, from AJ’s record, are better than Wilder then you are either a casual or a WUM.

    And you're still avoiding the facts. You're some boy.

    Listen, hope you enjoy the fight later but I'm done with this. Getting nowhere with you.

    Listen, come back when you’ve sobered up. Mate.

    Then we’ll discuss the definition of facts.

    Now waiting on the second part of the dodgy double after Usyk winning....Wilder knocking out Tyson!

    Never wanted to lose a bet soon much!!!

    The betfair account will tell me tomorrow...only possibilities, Wilder by KO or Tyson win.

    @Fontaine Wilder’s CV has * all to do with his ability in the ring. Any man with eyes can see his record is padded beyond belief but he’s clearly better than the fighters Paul mentioned.
