Hearn Thinks Wilder is a Threat to AJ

They are certainly acting as if he was a threat because if he wasn't he provides too much opportunity to expand his brand in a big market. If Wilder was viewed as no threat they would have already taken that strap and the money would have already all been counted by now.

After watching AJ's last fight I would say Wilder is very much a threat. Wilder hits very hard. He has fast hands and a long reach and he throws a long strong jab and a wicked straight right. He also throws a lot more punches every round than AJ. Wilder's chin is average and he isn't hard to hit but you could say the same thing about AJ. I think it's an even fight now after favoring AJ in the past. I doubt an AJ vs. Wilder fight would last many rounds. Whoever lands a big bomb first will probably win by KO soon after landing that bomb. Wilder seems to have more killer instinct than AJ.

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a Deontay Wilder fan. Just a pundit that see's things for what they are. Given how Wilder called Hearn's bluff regarding Whyte, it's obvious Eddie has a number of pounds he's trying to reach with AJ before they put him in with a threat. When you have a HW champ in the UK you just have to make sure he doesn't get knocked out. The cards are always fixable. If your fighter is in trouble, the ref is on the take too to throw out a life preserver. If Wilder wants to beat AJ he'll have to cleanly knock him out in the UK. Hearn doesn't think Wilder is a threat, he knows he is. He said trying to protect his cash cow. Wilder will dismantle the Joshua hype train, quick like

Or that wilder making sure opponents have stringer ped testing is putting off joshuas team having the fight soon

Not really a wilder fan, and up until yesterday after that fight not much of an AJ fan now either. Can't believe how people are trying to defend that KO lol its ridicilous yes he was up on the cards and yes he most likely would have won anyway But one punch can change everything it would have been a slight chance but still a chance. Just seems team Aj afraid of wilder even more now which is sad for the sport. You always want the best to fight the best so you can find out who is king

That was a weak stoppage & AJ didn't want to talk about D.Wilder.

Hearns and Joshua don't want Wilder, that's obvious now.

McNulty this is why we are pals, despite you being from the UK you are still able to use reason : Nahmean, Dramashow, Mlac, Earl, Will, Kafkod are a bunch of stans. :fing02: Joshua/Wilder aint going to the cards, both have too many flaws Is this really the agenda that the fight last night was stopped to preserve Joshua. Won every round, Takam done. It was early, but there wasnt going to be a fairy tale outcome. I didn't watch the fight, but I've seen highlights and I talked to some old pro's on the mobile and they all say the same thing: piss poor stoppage. What makes Boxing special is one punch can change your life, especially in the HW's. AJ gassing, missing, thats when it happens. Let the guy finish the fight and from what I hear Takam wasn't done. You lot are making it out to be like he was getting riffed on like Magomed Abdusalamov. If you're going to fix a fight, at least try and make it look real for fùcks sake!

Joshua/Wilder aint going to the cards, both have too many flaws Is this really the agenda that the fight last night was stopped to preserve Joshua. Won every round, Takam done. It was early, but there wasnt going to be a fairy tale outcome. It was to protect AJ's 100 % KO ratio, because it wasn't happening without the ref. I like AJ but Takam was straight up robbed of the honorary to be the first to go the full distance with AJ.

Of course he does. He is a promoter, AJ is a cash cow.
