Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: Oleksandr Usyk wants me because he thinks I?ve declined

It’s a shame that Wilder & AJ never just fought when they were unbeaten. I blame both tbh they genuinely seemed fine going without the fight no matter how much trash they talked.

ah the good old false equivalency. 1 was offered 100 million so not sure how both can be to blame? 1 offered the other an insane payday, other pretended to make an offer over email then ghosted the other=they both were to blame...no

I have followed boxing long enough to remember this time, more so with it being so recent. I blame both, on multiple occasions both guys liked the attention but didn’t want the fight. At that time I strictly held it against AJ. Matchroom want AJ-Fury but didn’t want AJ-Wilder. Talked it down. Wilder used the offered matchroom deal to get favourable terms from Haymon and acted ridiculous demanding 50/50. Then still claiming it has to be respectful etc. both to blame. Merry Christmas if you celebrate it or can actually cheer up enough regardless to enjoy the day!

i will say what everyone is thinking, its time for the costume to return

Did Wilder skip school or is English not his first language, he mispronounces a lot of words. Same goes for some other boxers like Tank, either English is not their first language, they never went to school, or punches to the head have caused the issue

Sometimes I wonder if it was getting with Malik Scott that ruined him. Trying to refine Wilder when there was no way you could. Wilder trying to think in the ring is a joke. He was at his best when he just did random stuff and threw caution to the wind.

At his age though, I don't think we'll ever see that Wilder. So you have a terrible thinking Wilder whose style is quite sloppy to begin with but was effective when he was reckless. I can't see him ever winning at the elite level again.

Great fight ... for Wilder

Deontay Wilder just like Tyson Fury, has never wanted to fight Anthony Joshua 'this is a fact'.

Tell me? What is stopping Deontay Wilder from fighting Anthony Joshua now? Nothing but only Deontay Wilder himself.

All three former heavyweight mountains currently right now, are not World Champions 'and they have no real obstacles in the way of them making big fights. But it is Anthony Joshua who seems to be the only one of those three fighters game'.

Note: It is common knowledge that both Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, chose to fight each other to avoid fighting Anthony Joshua. The reasoning behind their moves, was because? they each believed that stylistically, facing each other was a more winnable fight'.

The first Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder I, was not even a mega event 'during that time in boxing history, either Fury vs Joshua or Wilder vs Joshua both of those fights were miles bigger than Fury vs Wilder I'.

To conclude: In recent times there seems to be traction building for the fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua 'I still believe that although Wilder is apprehensive of Joshua, he would be more game to fight Anthony Joshua than Tyson Fury, even at this stage of his career'.

Wilder and Joshua did agree to fight each other last year, but unfortunately Deontay Wilder was beaten by Joseph Parker 'Tyson Fury in comparison has never really came that close to making a solid deal to fight Anthony Joshua' etc.
