Only fight that makes sense. Battle of the washed. At least someone is getting KOd

So did Paul - Tyson. Do you have a point?

Erm, the one I just made.

Or is "do you have a point?" one of those kids phrases that get used irrespective of context?

Like, whatever.

No, I perhaps should have worded it differently to appear less confrontational. The point is, the commercial appeal of something is not necessarily indicative of its value.

The 'biggest draw in the sport' got absolutely annihilated again in his last fight , KO'd by the first live one he's faced and Frank Smith thinks this makes him the biggest draw in the sport ? It's a really sad world Frank lives in if getting hammered like that makes you the 'biggest draw in the sport' ....Hard to take this kid serious .

More than likely in the u.k. the u.s don't give a fvkc about windmill

I think Joshua should fight Oilskin Parker first while Wilder takes on Otto Wallin cos...reasons

[landotter]

If Fury is a no go, this is the only fight that makes any commercial sense for Joshua. Wilder has a name factor, and they can hype it by showing repeated replays of all his crazy KO's he got like up to three years ago. Joshua still can fill up the stands, but they can get more PPV for the Wilder rep and the "unfinished business" hype train.

This was easy to call. Of course, each has to get past the scrub they are fighting so they can come in on wins, but I am sure they will. Let's just get the sideshow rolling. Wilder is a has been and an easy win, but he still will be the Bronze Bomber for the pre-fight press tour, so that will be fun.

Wilder is like 40 and shot

Joshua is also way past it

They made a huge deal out of Joshua beating a 42 year old wladimir, can you imagine what AJ will be like by 42

That win was overrated

As long as wilder gives a few BOMBSQUADS in the press conference while Joshua tries to sound like a philosopher in the press conferences I’m in.

[TMLT87]

If this fight had happened before Wilders "draw" with Fury and AJ getting embarrassed by a fatty it would have been the biggest fight in combat sports by a significant margin. AJ/Fury would have been huge too.

Still kind of big fights but to think what we could have had. Its a ****ing shame.
