Maybe you should stop talking about him and concentrate on Parker.

Last leg and last big payday, now he is concerned about AJ's health. Believe this guy. 50 million. Good things come to those who wait. Kings only mess with Kings. LDBC. Something happens to AJ and Haymon will give him a peanut guarantee to fight Ruiz on Prime. He could care less if AJ wins both fights, he just wants the transfers to clear. No, maybe he wants to win one so there is a trilogy of paydays.

And yet it's this loud mouth who has spewing all kind of nonsense instead of to focus on his last chance for a retirement payday. Apparently all senses have been knocked out his head by Greedy Belly.

It certainly seems that way, doesn't it? I don't recall too many quotes or articles devoted to AJ talking about Wilder leading up to this fight but I see plenty of Wilder running his mouth on every fighter other than his actual opponent.

I just think choosing Wallin was a bad decision. I couldn't believe it. Maybe Joshua will make a fool out of me, but something about this doesn't feel right. Wallin is not the type of guy you choose for a tune up anticipating a career high payday. I understand Wilder's concern, because he doesn't want to lose that payday.

People hold Joshua to a high standard, and Joshua holds himself to a high standard.

That was why he did not just compete as a amateur, and then turn professional soon as possible.

Joshua competed as amateur, and in unprecedented time won the Olympic Gold Medal 'Became a Olympic Champion'.

Joshua in his 19th professional fight, fought the Wladimir Kiltschko who Tyson Fury should of fought in his rematch 'People over look this, Joshua fought the more motivated and prepared version of Kiltschko. Kiltschko had to endure three back to back training camps, over a 17 month period due to Fury continually pulling out of their scheduled rematch unfortunately'.

Note: Joshua has overachieved in his career, and nobody can deny? Joshua has given the game a good go 'If Joshua wants to become World Champion again, and earn his World title fight. He has got to beat fighters like Wallin' etc.

It's plain and simple , Joshua beats Wallin he moves forward .Wallin is respected but not particularly feared and Joshua has in his past life beaten him .So confidence surely can't be an issue. There can not be any more excuses from Joshua and I don't see that they will be. Wilder wants to look at his own fight, which although I think he wins is a tough one with a revitilised Parker who given half a chance could be a handful.Hopefully this bill with lots of names will lead to even better things!

This guy should take his own advice, he’s more interested in Joshua then Parker who Joshua defeated years ago and this is considered a best win for him IF he wins which like I said I’m leaning towards Parker .,that’s how bad I view this guy bc anyone who can punch like him SHOULD win this fight it’s a prove me wrong fight for me which I want bc I want the Joshua fight .

Joshuas chances of losing : 15%

Wilders chances of losing ( on paper ) : 30%


Wilders fight easily sees him having double the risk , Wilder and Parker so many variables. Wallin is an average level opponent for Joshua the reason why everyone’s going crazy about Wilder and Parker is bc he usually don’t fight prime all around good opponents so he’s getting accolades where it’s just another day at the office for Joshua .
