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

[Rockenator]

I think it's been covered, ad nauseam, that Joshua is at the end of his career and is waiting for one great payday. AJ knows it's over if he fights anyone who can punch so forget about Wilder or Zhang. His next fight will be a Hearn, hand-picked, creampuff to keep the charade going.

I will watch it. Like it or not this is one of biggest matches in this moment, only Fury/Usyk is bigger. Most of you will watch it, no matter what you write, think, dream about them. Who does not want to watch it, does not need to watch but this one will be written in a history books.
Comments that they are out of their prime time.... well I also think so, but still I would love to see it happen.

Bro, no one is saying they don't want to see the fight. No one. If you see one objecting to it, point it out here. Fight can only happen in Saudi Arabia, but one Saudi in the Royal Family said no to the local promoters. Fans would be happy to see it made in the US or the UK, or any country that would fit the bill.

The Wilder hate is just crazy. You all know this is by far the best fight for both of them to make. You can say it's lost its luster all you want, but those of you who can afford it will buy it, and the rest will stream it. None of you are going to sit it out if it happens.

The rest of us know you're just unhappy with your own lives, and taking the opportunity to kick a successful guy while he's down. Classic hater mentality.

Sounds like you talking about Alexis Rocha, take a good look in the mirror bro...

I would like to hear Wilder or Finkel say let's do it in the US or the UK, then let's see how Hearn/AJ reacts.

Similarly, I'd like to hear AJ/Hearn say let's do it in the UK or US, whichever place makes the more sense.

Otherwise, it's all just recycled garbage.

I've always had the notion Wilder KO's Joshua, even as far back as 2017. The frustrating thing is despite looking perfect (by Wilder standards) against Helenius, Deontay has done NOTHING to demonstrate a desire to stay sharp, to say nothing of allowing us to see his post-Fury game, and if indeed, he is fully intact. I'm of the old school that believes heavyweights beyond 35 or 36 years of age need regular activity. But I suppose in this day and age one appearance every 16 to 18 months seems the norm. In that respect Wilder still has six months shelf allowance.

Put a gun to my head off of their last appearances, if Wilder and Joshua fought tomorrow I have Wilder stopping Joshua in 1.

That's what everyone should ask or demand. Unfortunately, not one in either camp is proposing to stage the fight in any other place other than Saudi Arabia.

What a shame that Wilder didn`t have the same energy when this was a huge fight with both guys being unbeaten champs.

It is a good fights still, but not worth so much money as both guys are expecting.

Ok..noted, we will all watch. Respect.

It can happen in US and GB easy. There was boxing before Saudi and it will be after them. I know that Saudi can pay more than anyone else but I am a bit tired of what Saudi will do. Will they pay or no. Boxing is above them.

Here is an idea, Joshua has roots in Nigeria, he should fight there. Nigeria has over 200 million inhabitants. The whole country would watch that match, and they have oil, so they can pay. Even the whole continent would watch.

Fair criticism. Was never really impressed with Rocha. But he's not come even close to being successful. Won zero championships, and has lost every time he's really stepped up. I don't really mind him as much as I mind the DAZN people pretending he's the next great thing. Not sure if that's really his fault, TBH. Not sure it's an apples to apples comparison really, but I'll tone it down with Rocha. He's doing his best.
