Comments Thread For: Wilder on Joshua: I Always Felt He Had a Weak Mindset, Wasn't Too Confident in Himself

[daggum]

Wilder should have applied his own advice to negotiating with Andy Ruiz for a fight.

he lowballed him and ran away. ruiz was entitled to 40 percent per the wbcs elminator rules. wilder only offered 30. the wbc then demoted ruiz down the rankings for inactivity yet wilder has been inactive just as long and he kept his ranking. rotten

I usually agree with most of your Post
But Not this one...
AJ & Wilder will Definitely Fight in 2024

I doubt it. AJ is the only golden goose Eddie now has. No more Canelo. I would be extremely shocked if he takes the Wilder fight. Wilder has no belt, but has the power to turn AJ's lights out. Joshua will fight some Euro stuff late in December, then declare himself ready for Fury.

Wilder is begging Joshua for money.

So you don't think they both recently agreed a fight only for the Saudis to lose their status?

I thought that was pretty much universally accepted?

Both Wilder and Joshua's teams went with that story despite it being quite embarrassing for them. Even Arum and Warren seem to be in on that being the way things went down.

But BlackRobb knows otherwise?

Wilder, who didnt step up to an elite HW until a decade into his career at 39-0, talking about people not being confident in themselves....

Arum and Warren have nothing to do with either fighter. I have zero clue what you're talking about. AJ and Eddie don't seem to want dangerous fights. He will fight some toothless Euro can in late December.

AJ, You need to fight this man now. Redeem yourself before its too late.

Yes, Anthony Joshua has one clear path to redemption.

And it isn’t Agit Kabayel.

If you have no idea then I'll clue you in.

Wilder and Joshua agreed to fight each other. They had a deal in place. And the people they were dealing with in Saudi Arabia basically fell out of favour and were unable to live up to the deal. I don't think that's been disputed by anyone.

They're now trying to get the fight made somewhere else.

So, yes, Joshua will go in with Wilder. And Wilder will go in with Joshua. And Hearn and Finkel will 'allow' them to. In fact I'd they can get the right money they'd be desperate to get them in together - that's where the money is.

Neither fighter is very relevant right now, especially after last night.

Wilder vs Zhang would be a bigger fight. Much bigger. I can almost see it.
