Comments Thread For: Wilder on Joshua: 'They Made Anthony Joshua ... They Gave Him Everything'

[factsarenice]

I mean is it really a debate that Aj was clearly never as good as people tried to pretend he was? The guy had every physical advantage against both Ruiz and Usyk and went 1-3 against them. Not to mention he’s mentally fragile which is never a good thing for boxers.

Maybe it was because Joshua tkoed Klitschko, lost to Ruiz and then came back and boxed Andy's ears off. As for Usyk...Fury refuses to fight him and that should tell you something.

Wilder is a ****** ****.

He was offered the fight with Wlad. His people thought he was too green for it.

The only reason he fought Fury was because he thought it would be a quick cash grab against a shot fighter.

He made his name knocking out journey men and is trying to act like a warrior because of a cherry pick gone wrong.

You cant blame Wilder. Fury was around 320 lbs when he began the come back training. Nobody used to take him seriously.

Eddie Hearn promoted Joshua and Shelly Finkel manufactured the Wilder myth but that is their purpose, that is their actual job.

I'm still interested in seeing who the bigger bum is. They really need to fight.

Its usually what happens when u win Olympic Gold.
But hell, Wilder had one of the easiest paths to a championship and title defenses ever. He has no room to talk.

Haymon didn't even have to pay for that WBC belt. It was for free!

Now now. Unsportsmanlike to dunk on a fighter like Joshua who is in dramatic decline

Is he though?

Many observers, me included, think that he was better in the Usyk rematch than in the first fight. So that means improvement, not decline. Wilder is 36 and still talking about improvement.

Why is he talking about Joshua? Why aren't they asking him about Usyk? Usyk said he's going to Barclay's on October 15th! Let's hope Wilder addresses him then!

let me break down your surface level comments. He went life and death with a 40 yr old Klitchko who was coming off a loss and over a year of inactivity. He quit and was stopped by a fat overweight underdog who took the fight in short notice. Then he beat an even fatter version of Ruiz by boring ud. Then he got his ass whooped twice by a cruiserweight who hadn’t looked good at all at hw. Like I said. He was overrated.

Aj should not have won gold to begin with. Cammarelle won that fight.

Then he got his first belt from Charles Martin. A low top 10 fighter today, not even at the contender level for the 70s/80s standards.
