Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Remains Hopeful Of Landing Anthony Joshua Showdown After 'Knocking Zhang's Head Off'

[takenotes]

Is Parker hurt or something? Maybe SA does not like Parker too much? Just wondering why he would not rematch him and fight Wilder instead. I would assume the winner of this must go through Parker in order to get a shot at AJ or a title. Gonna be a shame if guys do not get their shots because SA is dictating who fights who.

The fight could happen. If Wilder beats Zhang and Fury and Usyk end up fighting twice. Why not, I guess.

It wouldn't even be that strange now that Hearn and Wilder are working together.

Would AJ prefer the winner of Hrgovic/Dubois or Wilder if he beats Zhang? The latter all day I'd have thought.

Hrgovic/Dubois are not a draw, if Wilder comes out with a good KO on Zhang, neither of those fights will come anywhere near the payday that AJ vs Wilder would be. AJ claims his goal is to be the champ again, but I don't think he would pass up the chance to fight Wilder, UNLESS Fury/Usyk don't do an immediate rematch and AJ gets to fight Fury.

I don't see Wilder knocking out Zhang. In fact I have Zhang winning by KO within 5 rounds. Wilder has become very predictable. Everyone in boxing knows that Wilder's windmill right hand will be coming at some point. He doesn't set it up with body punches. Occasionally, Wilder may start things off with a lazy jab but due to his lack of boxing skills, I think Zhang's team will be ready for the predictable Wilder. Also Wilder isn't exactly known for his defense either, so I see him taking shots. When he gets hit with one or two or three of Zhang's shots then he will go bye bye.

Glad to see Wilder back in action. He had no business losing to Parker and this fight is perfect to gauge whether he has his killer instinct back.

Hopefully he knocks out Zhang, then rematches and knocks out Parker. Then, the heavyweight division will be his for the taking for as long as he wants, especially with the backing of Saudi Arabia and Turki Alalshikh. The key is activity...

If the idiot beats Zhang, Warren will do everything to make AJ fight him instead for titles.
And clown Hearn will continue dancing to his tunes with a smile on his face.

They don’t ask Warren about match making in mixed events they ask Hearn first that’s there global partner platform so none of that really makes sense . Hearn is the global promoter, Warren isn’t close to his expertise on a global scale Hearn knows the crunch numbers ,the fighters and overly the business much more despite Warren over 40 year’s experience he hasn’t become a global promoter ever .

Hearn wants the Wilder fight both are under DAZN banner , Warren wouldn’t have much input on Joshua fights his only real pull is Fury over there . If Fury wins the Joshua fight will depend on Usyk side step money not anything else the Saudis offer him .

Hey, you fat ****** prick that ya're.

Did you think you could start **** with The Wizard and just be able to post without any accountability did you? Ya flat-skulled, spaghetti-armed, troglodytic slice of capicola?

Probably did, most ****** cro-magnon ****s do think tard thoughts.

I see you want to get banned again for spamming the forum ?

mods clean it up ythis guy don’t know when to say when . It’s a boxing forum this is jargon not related to anything with no subject matter .

Wilder is going to be the laughing stock of the night again after ZZ has destroyed him.

Everyone has known that for a longggg time, it didn't prevent Fury from getting knocked down 4 times.

Haven’t seen any good reason to think Wilder listless performance vs Parker was a fluke. This appears where he is at. Zhang all the way.

[StandStrong0873]

After both of their last fights, which I thought they’d both easily win, I don’t know who will win between Wilder and Zhang. However, at this point, I don’t really care if the AJ/Wilder fight gets made. It doesn’t mean much anymore.
