Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: Joshua-Wilder Will Not Happen, Joshua Should Fight Dubois

[Bob]

Frank's right, Eddie's been going on like Kanye is still an undefended belt holder & entitled to still earn the same from the Saudis.

Eddie said it best himself, every fight has a monetary value. 18 19 this fight was massive, we were clamouring for it yet they decided to marinate & milk the fans instead, letting us & the sport down.
Today Wilder is inactive & old & Aj is a shell of his former self. It's no longer a stadium fight so Vegas is welcome to it. Aj can no longer fill a home town arena & get's booed he fight's so scared.

I like the Dubois fight, he's apparently Ko'ed Aj in sparring & downed & hurt Usyk (i thought it was legal) unlike Aj. I can't wait for Eddie's non response.

DDD has already knocked this chump out in the past.

I'd rather see Joshua vs Wilder held in the UK or the US. Or somewhere in Europe. Take whatever money is offered.

Why don't Josh and wilder just fight, how hard can it be? Wilder couldn't fight Ruiz, and now can't fight josh? Just fight in the street then.
Ddd against wilder would be ok too. We at least find out if wilder got a good chin or not?!

just because the saudis mentioned AJ and Wilder may get X amount of dollars if they put on the show does NOT mean they are actually worth that, the fight should be made in vegas or london for its true value, which is still a lot but not crazy money like these crazy saudis throw at things for their sportswashing plan, they have spoilt some people in the sports world who now feel entitled to that level of cash even for certain fights, the soon they get lost the better i would say

I agree with Frank on the first point , Hearn has been blagging it with the Wilder fight when nothing really was in place other than an idea. And off the back of that fans bought into Joshua fighting low level Franklin and Helenis as warms ups for the promised show down with Wilder. Hearn simply lied...!

I thought DD was unlucky not to benefit from the body shot that I thought was borderline but not low , but then to see him fold as he did against Usyk was not reassuring that he's got the fire to continue threw a storm , it looked like he quit! But then to see Joshua , with his arms on the top ropes in the corner not moving and not responding to the referees clear instructions to fight on against Ruiz 1 , it seems lie a toss up , but in fairness to Joshua he did a much better job against Usyk than DD and did get up to win against old Wlad , showing a fighting heart and grit. I would fancy Joshua to win but he obviously isn't the same after the Ruiz mauling so I wouldn't put money on him.

Lied? Seems like he was promised a lot but the people previously in charge and that's changed. Saudi politics seems like a stretch for him to be responsible for, if anything he's been pretty honest about those dynamics, so I'm not sure what you mean when you say he lied.

Yeah I don't see it happening either not early next year like they said anyway. Always stumbling blocks in these big heavyweight fights and tbh I think wilder is a bad style match up for Joshua and the things he did in his last fight against helanius like throwing big shots from out of range that left him open etc you can't be doing against wilder because you'll get clipped. Joshua vs DDD isn't a bad fight but it seems to me warren just wants to throw Dubois into the fire now and don't wanna do another rebuilding phase with him off a loss. Don't be surprised if he ends up fighting fury after the Ngannou bs

Man, these heavyweights. They're just gonna get grey waiting around for the biggest buck. I think too many lawyers and middle men have them in a knot. HW division is, in effect, gone.

dubois is just not ready, he has to track down all these dudes like eubank and bellew who are calling him a quitter and wait for them at the end of their drive, get it on film them legging it back in as fast as possible

[Mr WorldWide]

Shut it Frank.....
How about you offer up Joyce then we'd have two guys who struggle with lefties but don't fall over at the first sign of adversity.
Dubois is the guy to tell you where your exhaust is blowing when the garage ramp is broke.
