Comments Thread For: Jared Anderson Aiming for Deontay Wilder: 'I'm Going To Beat Him In Great Fashion'

[BoxingUpdates]

Heavyweight up-and-comer Jared Anderson knows he has made mistakes, but he says he is ready to put them behind him - starting with a win over Ryad Merhy on Saturday and, eventually, a crack at former titleholder Deontay Wilder.

He won't be making any money period if he keeps up the legal campaign

Eventually? Wilder is turning 39 this year and his last solid win was 2019. Exactly how long is Anderson planning to wait?

This guy has the slowest progression in the division. He should be much further along at this point and the only real person of note he has fought is Charles Martin, he should be fighting top 10-15 fighters by now.

No rush unless cops are chasing him

I honestly don't see him becoming a belt holder, if at all. Wilder might actually beat his slow @ss

Wilder is fading because of age and inactivity. Focusing on Wilder is irrelevant. Anderson should focus on Parker.

Parker beats him outright
But I get where your going with this

I know Wilder was terrible in his last fight but if Charles Martin is putting you on ***** street I don't like your chances against Wilder.

Anderson beat a way older, shop worn Charles Martin in far worse fashion than AJ did at a similar age.

Yeah, the Martin fight suggested the ceiling for Anderson may not be much higher, which is remarkable considering how little his career has progressed. He needs to fight someone decent soon. Wilder is a name, but he's a name at the end of his career. I guess they figure that is low risk, but it could easily backfire.

All I know is that I've heard a lot about how good Anderson is and I was deeply unimpressed with how he looked against Martin. Maybe it was an off night, but he needs to make a statement against a credible fighter and soon, because he isn't a spring chicken.
