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

[daggum]

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

4 times in 3 fights and fury isnt the hardest guy to knock down: Cunningham, petkovic, ngannou etc...guess they are the biggest punchers in boxing history too

[Clubber Zhang]

This fight is just a way for Fish Eyes and The Worm to further protect their cash cows - by having Zhang and Wilder beat each other up to create some more age, wear, and tear.

Look who Fury and Joshua have been fighting lately. No threats to the odometer of any kind.

Wilder and Malik have as much explosiveness as a wet firecracker

[SUBZER0ED]

The thing about Wilder and Zhang is that they're not far apart in age. Wilder has had some tough fights of late, where he has been hurt and stopped. Zhang is in better shape in that regard and may put a hurting on Deontay. They are both motivated as this is a do-or-die fight for each man. Zhang embarrasses and retires Wilder in 8

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 .

Then why is DD fighting Hrgović instead of AJ?

[DougalDylan]

AJs next fight is extremely likely against the Dubois /Hirgovoc winner for the IBF at Wembly stadium for Saudi money pros with another 5v5 card

Always thought Wilder would ice Joshua but on current showings it could be the other way around.Parker fought a disciplined and clever fight but it looks like Wilder has grown old over night.He looked completely lame.

[Spray_resistant]

Most likely the big lump he is will walk down Wilder for a mid maybe early stoppage, Wilder has lost his explosiveness and is more regularly coming in at a stick like 210-215 so there will be no ko even if he lands flush on Zhang as he'll be back peddling the whole time.

its all a conspiracy to protect joshua from wilder...just like signing to fight wilder if wilder would have beaten parker but they drugged wilder so he would lose. that was evil. just like offering him 100 million dollars to fight joshua. an insult!

Wilder needs to get on the gear like everyone else in saudi
