Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Calls Out Anthony Joshua, Urging Showdown: I Believe You're Ready; Let's Make This Happen

American fans seem to recognize Wilder is washed and yesterday’s news after 2 beat downs by Fury. Comedy that British fans seem to think Joshua is still relevant after being ****d by the Michelin man and given a boxing lesson decisively losing 17-18 rounds to Usyk

fury tried everything he could to get rock bottom AJ into the ring & now says he wont have anything ever to do with him, wilder is making fight noises hoping AJ has found a bit of his mojo again but the hardest thing for AJ to deal with is not these two, its hearns late night texts to him asking 'r u ok?'

That was a very uninspiring call out.

No passion. It sounded like a business man, trying to get some funding.

And that is all this fight is between Joshua & Wilder 'A business opportunity'.

I do not rate the match up, that highly anymore 'And I never have to be honest'.

Boxing is show business, therefore fights need a story and a theme 'What is the theme of this fight?'.

We know how Joshua will behave, for whatever reason? Joshua would be fine with being matey matey with his opponents.

This is something, I have always been critical of during his approach to most of his fights 'None of these fighters are your mates, they are trying to alter your life and career'.

As I have stated in past posts, if Wilder wants this fight 'Then he needs to confront Joshua in person, a physical confrontation old school tactics. If they have a jostle then so be it, that is what creates passion and competition'.

Note: Right now this fight is just a business opportunity, Wilder has not behaved like a fighter outside the ring since his trilogy with Tyson Fury etc.

Wilder is one of the biggest jokes in boxing. He's not fighting yet he wants truckloads of money.
He really thinks AJ got the same desperation for money as he is. This is not Spence/Crawford,
if he thinks it is similar.

it'll be a shame if this fight never materializes. The luster of the fight has faded significantly, but it's still a fun fight but these two think they are still top dogs and deserve huge money to get in the ring with each other.

But how much $$$ does he want though?

Should be a 50% each, but Joshua will want more even though Wilder is now the "A" side.

[James Hunt]

The clown, who "froze out" AJ when started his multi-fight tournament with Fury, is now literally begging AJ for a paycheck.
Have some dignity and pride, clown.
The one, who advised this clown to turn down DAZN's $100/120M offer by whispering "training camp money" into his ear(Fact!), should now fill what's missing in this clown's retirement fund.

Wilder has a big heart and a big punch so Joshua may not want to see you! However, Wilder skills has to be the weakest since Jack Dempsey so Joshua should jump on this!

[thack]

Wilder should move on the only plan is for a stiff in December. ..Hearn says it could be Zhang , I'll put my name to it ...it won't be..., and it won't be Wilder either .

Cannot call Wilder irrelevant while arguing Joshua is relevant. Joshua 3 losses in past 4 fights with top 10 opponents. And lost 18 of 24 rounds to #2 HW. Nothing to see here but a can former paper champ. He’s Mason the Line Dixon with a mental disorder
