Comments Thread For: Wilder Trainer on Joshua: He's Cool If He Goes His Whole Career Without Fighting Deontay; Doesn't Campaign About the Fight Enough

[Bob]

If Joshua does not fight Wilder next, he will just fight somebody else Hrgovic, Zhang, Wallin, Fury, Ruiz III, many other top level Heavyweights 'At some point, it is inevitable if he wants to legitimately work his way back towards a title fight'.

The only one that makes sense is Wallin for his #2 ibf spot, so if it is stripped after undesputed he can fight Hrgovic for the belt. Plus it's more affordable, Aj was booed in a half empty arena in his last fight & isn't a big draw any more.

Hrgovic, why would he when he's next.
Zhang, to dangerous for this Aj, Olympic Aj had his number.
Fury he ducked last year & Eddie said a few weeks ago it's a 5050 split, like really? Who do they think they are?
Ruiz (buster) will want as much as Aj, never happen.

It's too bad AJ doesn't have the mindset of Crawford-Spence. Put aside the fact that someone will take an "L" from the other and just give the fans what they want. Heck, at least at this point, AJ and Wilder both have losses, so neither guy will be losing their "0". At this point, do it for legacy. I just think AJ doesn't have the cajones to actually accept a loss from Wilder after how long the call for this fight has been. The pressure to win will be tremendous. A loss might send AJ off the MGM Grand's roof.

Enough with the Wilder/Joshua articles until it is signed. They been beating this dead horse for a decade…

Dont care for either but Wilder and his onlyfan trainer are clowns. Wilder had the opportunity to fight for undisputed and turned down what would have been his biggest pay day at the time. He chose NOT to.

stop crying and fight Ruiz already

Wilder has had the chance to make $100M and possible undisputed champion vs AJ but he blew it. So, I don't have any sympathy for him begging for a payday now. AJ was/is keen to become the undisputed heavyweight champion which cannot be said of Wilder and Greedy Belly.

Ok so wilder rejected the 100 million by dazn because he didn’t want to be owned by a network. Never has been and never wanted to be someone property. Also Canelo bagged out of his deal with dazn because they ran into some financial problems. You could argue the 50 million guarantee for Aj that Hearn rejected after finkel showed proof of funds. Then it became a matter what network will show it, where will it take place , etc. . Who cares what channel and where the fight happens just fight already.

I'm pretty convinced that Wilder is a far better heavyweight than Joshua. Better by far. He doesn't go getting beat by Cruiserweights and sub top 10 fighters, stepped up to unify against Fury 3 times while Joshua was getting slammed. But its nice to see everyone supporting their favorites with their theories and inside information about offeres that were extended and refused. Love this sport!!!

& Aj didn't?

AJ hasn't called anyone out. Nor has any of his "trainers". My point is, Malik is trying to drum up hype for a fight that's not even signed.

When did Wilder have a chance to fight AJ for $100 million?

fury didnt campaign for the wilder fight. they literally ran after fury becausae they knew fury was out of shape and rusty. i believe fury said he needs another 3-4 fights before fighting in a big fight and they rushed in and offered him a 50-50 split because they thought they could cherry pick him. with joshua they turn down 100 million dollars and dont offer joshua anything. very telling. they wont even fight ruiz

Fury called Wilder and begged Wilder to give him a fight. They were friends at the time. Fury was struggling with money and Wilder gave him the fight. This is well documented.
