The Fury, Wilder, AJ era was the biggest failure in HW boxing history

[ExitLUPin]

A lot of people were hyped about this era years ago. Some even said we were entering a golden age for HW. That these 3 were all time talents, rock papers scissors matchups between the 3 blah blah

A lot of cope for Wilder since American HWs have been dogshite for decades. People were saying Wilder would beat all these all time HWs shit was comedy. "He has a punchers chance against anyone and ____ isnt avoiding that right hand" LMAOOOOOOO low IQ takes. His best wins are 40yo Ortiz and then journeymen yet people thought his power would take out all time HWs LMAOOOO

Fury people were calling top 10 all time HW some even said top 5. He might not even be top 20 at this point. Got dropped and almost lost to an MMA debutant.

AJ had the Ruiz upset then potshot him in rematch. Picked up C level wins here and there got outclassed by Usyk and now KOd by Dubois.

In reality now that the era has played out and effectively ended we can say that

Joseph Parker was better than Wilder the whole time. It wasnt a big 3 of HW. They were carefully matchmade and ducked a lot of the real threats. Dubois and Zhang have already surpassed Wilders legacy too. AJ and Wilder avoided each other for years. Fury never fought AJ either.

And through all of this the CW who moved up was the best HW of this era the whole time. It wasnt Fury. It wasnt AJ. It wasnt Wilder. It was Usyk. What a DISASTER of an era. The biggest failure EVER that we've seen.

It was the post Klitschko era where promoters protected their stars in order to get rich.

Until Turki Alalshikh revolutionized boxing and showed how much their value truly is in a forced to fight the best system.

Fury losing a close fight to a generational talent in Usyk means he's fraudulent. Wilder getting as far as he did with such a limited skill set and losing to Fury in his prime before he fell off means he a fraud. AJ having a solid resume and losing to Usyk twice and then getting knocked out by Dubois who continues to prove his worth means he was an overrated bum.

Am I doing this right?

Maybe boxing should stop being so concerned with protecting records to reap the rewards monetarily.

Then again, maybe it shouldn't because they'll get dumped on by internet nerds who don't know shit while taking brain trauma.

I'm glad we got the fights we did. It's better than the alternative. When you fight the best and look to test yourself, odds are you'll eventually lose, but the sport is better for it.

Thank god it's over.

You are one of the best fight fans I've come across on the internet. Posts like this on top of the way you carried yourself over the Volk v Max trilogy show the man you are.

TS, previous heavyweight eras also had top guys that lost to middleweights & light heavyweights.

HW has sucked for the past 2 decades tbh. Nothing new.

Yea and Usyk getting hit in the stomach and rolling around like a sack of shit for 5mins by DDD, really shows how bad the HW division is.

Show some respect for the P4P king.

True but there was a lot of false hope about this division's trajectory and the talent of the "big 3" 5-6yrs ago



Thankfully reality set it and corrected those takes

The Wilder Fury AJ era was extremely entertaining & made HW worth watching for the first time in decades.
The only thing you can hate on is that Wilder never fought AJ & AJ never fought Fury.

The division has officially passed all 3 by. Thats exactly how boxing works. Too old and the younger fresher talent is peaking.

You really expected that 3 guys at once were going to be George Foreman or Ali like????? Lmao hahahaha

Can't buy into a hype that each decade or generation will produce an all time great fighter that can't be beat.

All 3 are extremely flawed & honestly over achieved + with some selective match making on Wilder & Fury's parts.

Zhang, Parker, DDD, & Usyk may all be better than these 3 damaged high mileage former kings....However, they wont generate a third of the buzz that these guys did. Also, arguably not as exciting in the ring too.

Give them their props. Its over now.

If you look at the top handful of heavies around today none of them have lost to journeymen at any point in their careers. They've also never lost to a blown-up middleweight or light heavyweight. This isn't true of say the Klitschko era or the Lewis era.

Boxing fans are so toxic, the moment that someone loses, they become a failure. No wonder, so many boxers cherrypick and duck like hell.

They really did blow it.

Losses wouldn’t have been bad. Going late into their careers robbing fans of outcomes they badly wanted to see avoiding each other and then losing separately in bouts that made the HW div look weak each time, and still never fighting and losing more bouts killing any and all intrigue except who has a couple miles left in the tank more than the other for the casuals? Yeah, that’s bad. They deserve searing criticism so future generations learn to conduct their careers more bravely and maybe the fans won’t turn on them so quick

This has been an amazing era in HW, plenty of good, exciting, quality fights.

Some of the most marketable fighters didn't remain at the top that's all that happened.

 

[Juzie]

Parker was probably better than the big 3 of last era tbh. Boxing is all wwe scripting you don't really know who's the best since they don't have to fight eachother. Haney fucked up believing his own hype the media gave him and tried to challenge real fighters and got fucked up twice. Even still tho wwe era boxing came out and saved his undefeated record so they could stick to the script

It's best for business that Tank and Shakur never try to fight anyone good if they want to stay undefeated as well

If Usyk loses that would be one thing. But AJ was considered top 3 best heavies of the generation but how many top 3 people has he actually beat? None, he didn't fight any of them. He's most well known for getting beat up by a guy in the weight class below. Just like one of the other dudes who was also a "top 3" heavyweight in AJs generation will soon be known for as well.

I have mad respect for guys like Loma and Usyk and they can take an L here and there and I'd still respect them. But when you're like Wilder/Fury/AJ supposedly the best 3 in heavyweight boxing and every time you fight someone who isn't a can you get fucked up you don't deserve any respect. Like one of these dudes actually almost got ktfo by an mma fighter on his boxing debut lol....geez

You think dogpiling him for losing is going to encourage future generations of boxers to take more difficult matchups? Its just going to encourage them to keep sticking to can crushing. Look at the lighter weight divisions, Tank is literally statpadding and not taking the risks that he should be with his talent probably because of sentiment like this.
