Comments Thread For: Hearn Heads To Los Angles, Hopes To Make a Wilder-Joshua Deal

[Sickmerch1990]

Rather see fury v aj or fury v wilder 2 wilder is done now

[Scipio2009]

Lewis only got 33% when he thought Holyfield for undisputed and he was bringing both Lineal and WBC, why do these guys deserve so much more when they have one each?

Because Joseph Parker allegedly got a third without really bringing any outside money with him.

Wilder had a fight that was worth at least $60m (compared to the $45m that Eddie Hearn expects to split) to both of them in Las Vegas, before Joshua saw national pride being worth more than money, lol.

Why you've got this fixation on Holyfield-Lewis is beyond me.

Son I’m a 5 year active duty United States Marine Corps veteran and I’d bet you everything I own you wouldn’t call me a scrub to my face you mighty keyboard warrior.

Such a chicken little

son you should also take things lightly..I boxed for 14 years and lost in the finals of the ABA’s and was raised in one of the toughest areas of London so please I’m not worried about who I face...now I will say this and I hope this gets put to rest now...respect for what you do and my best friend is ex SAS and so I know what you boys go through.
You invited yourself into my own conversation I didn’t invite you.
Wilder is one of worst heavyweight champions I have ever scene and literally has zero skill and to me he is very poor.
Seeing as most of the wilder fans call Joshua a coward then it is only right wilder is labelled a scrub.
Joshua would break him in half.
I’m not worried about anyone fella

I would hope it’s easier than Fury. He lost 10 rounds. :/...

But hey, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Wilder stops AJ but when both guys can punch, ALWAYS go with the more skilled, compact/sharper of the two. No one on the planet has the chin to standup to a flush right hand from both..doesnt matter if Joshua doesnt hit AS hard as Wilder.

Joshua has a much better sense of distance. For as stiff as people say AJ is, Wilder is oddly more uncoordinated with what seems to amount to zero footwork. Aj is fairly fluid taking his whole package into account. He’s no Fury with movement but he’s well schooled. Wilder has no answer for offense if he doesnt land a right hand.

If we’re logical, in a mid range exchange AJ’s punch gets there first. It’s sharper and straighter.

At close range...AJ again.

At long range, Wilder telegraphs it too much and AJ will slip it and make him pay. They have the same reach.

I just don’t see Wilder doing anything better than AJ outside of punching harder with only one of his hands...and that’s moot if the other guy has better set ups to land his power which gets the same results anyway.

I’ve been riding Wilder regardless for being a fellow American and likely will root for him against AJ, but the educated guess easily goes to AJ.

Again, not that Wilder WONT win...but if we’re logical about it, it’s more likely AJ lands a right hand before Wilder does and AJ has a SIGNIFICANTLY shorter and more compact left hook he can use in an exchange, not to mention more potent. Aj just has more tools and is a two fisted fighter.


And lmao at the guy calling AJ a weight bully...at HW! Lmfao.

an astute and on the mark post and I could not have explained it better.
Joshua beats Wilder 8 or 9 times out of 10 because he punches and boxes with far better technique. reads an opponent better and sets them up, throws and finishes fighters with quick and accurate combination and when you get hurt he gets you out of there.
Wilder was lucky it was fury in that ring Saturday because if it was Joshua he would have been knocked out inside of 5 rounds.
As soon as Joshua lands a power shot on wilder he takes him out mark my words.
Green k for your post

The truth of the matter right now is that Fa$t £ddie needs Wilder more then vice versa. IE- Can anyone really see Joshua Vs Whyte/Chisora selling out the 80 seat Wembley stadium. Hearn needs to give Wilder his 50% split & just make the fight!

Why you've got this fixation on Holyfield-Lewis is beyond me.

What's Parkers earnings got to do with Wilder it's non of his business what AJ wants to pay other fighters.

Lewis Holyfield is the most recent example of a HW undisputed fight and there can be used as a direct comparison especially considering the belt split and pulling power is similarish and some would argue Lewis was more recognised than Wilder is now.

$60 mil? Whats your fixation with making up numbers? All the article I've read say Wilder stands to earn $14 mil and fury $10

AJ just done £20 mil ($26 mil) and Povetkin £6 mil ($7.8 mil) overall $33.8 mil AJ's purse is more than Wilder Fury fight for an mando defence against Povetkin, levels. Plus if you add Wilder and AJ's purse together Wilder ends up with a 35% split.

[Jax teller]

Idiots like me? Because AJ never fought, much less beat a real champion in his life? He's going to eat the right hand because he's a take one to land one sort of fighter. He's a weight, height, reach, hometown edge bully.

Wilder is a I'll take a load of punches wait one hour until I see an opening type of fighter, whilst he waits AJ will knock him out simple.

AJ seems unable to perform against short guys and both Wilder an AJ have only fought 2 people shorter than Ortiz in their last ten fights so this just proves YDKSAB.

AJ beat a game Wlad an ATG contender/former champ and Parker who is a decent fighter and I would even favour to beat Ortiz as his chin will hold out and he is much faster, especially after Ortiz's perfomance against Kaufman.

What champs has Wilder beat? Stiverne & Martin are papers champs, they never been on that level so I thats why I didn't mention Martin above. All Wilder has done is lose to Fury ending up as a 'lucky' draw decision, if you want to talk about hometown edge.

MGM Resorts/Showtime were putting up the money to cover the guarantees for a Las Vegas clash between Wilder and Joshua.

Holyfield-Lewis was almost 20 ****ing years ago! Why you're so bent on holding on to that is beyond me.

[Ajvar]

Could you PLEASE hide me for up to half a year until Wilder and Fury deal to fight a rematch?
Your AJ.
