Comments Thread For: Joshua Tabs Deontay Wilder as "Preference" For 2020 Clash

[DClefthook]

You guys were trying to insinuate that AJ's record was better. I am just merely pointing out that their records are similiar. The only four heavyweights that stand out and are in their prime right now are Wilder, Fury, AJ and fat Andy. And no Hearn was never serious about AJ facing Wilder. If he was they would have took the 50 mill. That DAZN deal was never real because he was'nt guaranteed the AJ fight. That was just a ploy to get him to help grow the App. If he would have accepted the DAZN deal they were going to jerk him around until they got enough subs then drop his ass. Similar to what they're doing to Andrade and Devin. Hearn to Andrade he would get the Canelo and 3G fights but could'nt deliver. Told Haney he would be fighting Loma for the title, Then Loma took the beetch azz "franchise" suckers belt which gave the strap to Haney which he defended twice before having to give it up. Now it looks like Javier Fortuna v Luke Campbell will scrap it out. If Javier wins that and brings the belt back to PBC then Haney/Hearn are screwed.

I dont think it will have the same allure for the serious boxing fan though.I myself will certainly not buy the Wilder/Joshua fight if Wilder is 36.


I sincerely hope not.If thats the case he should not be in the sport as a boxing promoter.

Well, 2 things there - firstly Wilder doesn't mess about with his weight between fights, and leads a realtively clean life, so I see no reason why he wouldn't still be at the top of his game at 36, and possibly even better than now with more experience. Think Wlad at 36, he was probably at his peak about that time thanks to a similarly healthy lifestyle (and Wlad had taken more punishment in some of his early fights).

If Joshua plays out his mandatories, meantime Wilder is fighting Fury with a rematch clause on both sides (ie a third might happen), then a lot can happen before Joshua/Wilder is feasible, which might indeed mean its 2021. By then a lot could happen - can't write off Usyk beating Joshua, or Fury beating Wilder (twice), so the big fight might be Fury vs Usyk by then - a lot can happen.

Game changer might be if the Saudis break the bank to make it sooner, but would have to be a lot as Joshua can keep milking it with Usyk/Pulev/Whyte/Dubois etc (all names he's mentioned). Meantime Wilder gets 50% vs Fury next time out, with winner getting 60% for the third fight, so if those fights are big both of them make good money there too.

But will both Wilder and Joshua keep winning ? Hmmm....

Wilder is a rigged protected fraud who ducked $120m to fight Joshua to make about $10m to beat 2 hired patsy divers Breazeale and Ortiz.

We wont see this fight in 2020 either.

Hearn must have given sweet Christmas bonuses to his interns on these boards cuz they are all ginned up! I hear BBBoC and UKAD folks all came to the Matchroom Christmas party and had the PED Punch while laughing it up with disgraced cheater RxDillian.

Wilder is'nt 100% clean though.Hence he's been arrested for cannabis use. No-ones perfect but I like to see fighters try to live a clean life.Hence Andre Ward springs to mind as one .He's spiritually and physically in a good place.Hence a deeply religious man who also comes across dedicated to the sweet science.

But when Wilder hits 36 I still feel there will be some deterioration albeit slight.At least he didn't do what Ricky Hatton done between fights eg drunk to much and ballooned in weights. Hence one of the main reasons as you probably know why he was washed up in his early 30s.

I personally think the current fight that Iam so excited about the Fury/Wilder trilogy makes the most sense.Both I feel would beat Joshua and its so refreshing to see them fighting in their primes.Huge credit for them for getting it on .

LOL, your the one defending Wilders duck. Us Joshua fans have nothing to excuse. Joshua clearly wants the fight and is saying so, Wilder doesnt want the fight and is saying so.

I know you like the idea of pretending Wilder did not say "I WILL NEVER FIGHT ANTHONY JOSHUA". But the rest of us heard it, we also have had to watch Wilder turning down offer after offer, All for more money than hes made from a single fight, some of those offers were for more than Wilder has ever earned in his whole career put together.

We aint making excuses for Joshua. But you have been making excuses for Wilder for over 2 years now.

You keep spouting BS, hoping people will believe it. Keep things in context dude, or stfu. Wilder said he would never fight Joshua because of them not wanting it, not that he is afraid to fight him.

Yes, Ortiz's team turned down the Joshua fight and promised him a Wilder fight. It was a short notice fight, the only way Joshua will ever get in the ring with him. Ortiz would box Joshua's ears off, and most likely KO him.

2 of the top 3 guys have already fought each other. And have a rematch booked.
Very obvious who is scared and who isn't.

Even with all the money and resources in the world behind them, AJ/Eddie cant (or dont want to) make the most obvious fight in boxing.
Dont give me that garbage about people being scared of AJ, he got destroyed by a short fat mexican blob. That excuse been blown out of the water.
