Comments Thread For: Wilder Talks Unification, Targets Joshua For October/November!

[umop-ap!sdn]

Y'all sound like two high school ***gs gossiping over names like some little girls. Talk Boxing because you know if either one of you said that to his face you both would call the police after picking up all your teeth. WTF is a classic name nerd?

and go by someone's house who bought it... sponge my way in.
Ha

So you're a internet thug, nerd, and a freeloader. I think the last thing you should worry about is a classic name

Great post. Green k sent.

I think the sooner they fight the better for Wilder because AJ is not ready for Wilder as yet. From what we have seen from AJ there is one thing we can agree on. A HW that is as big and as strong as Anthony but much more athletic and agile plus moves a lot is all wrong for AJ. Aside from that Wilder is a busy fighter and let's his hands go. Would be hard for Joshua to bully him like he's done to his previous opponents. AJ is special though and on any given night can put any HW on his back. Would be exciting however long it lasted.

I can get on-board with the idea that Wilder presents certain problems for AJ but "agile" made me cringe. Deontay literally trips over his own feet and has some horrendous footwork and defensive practices.
Like I said though, some of your other points are good.

LMFAO. As if chicken man wilder would take on someone like joshua if it wasn't a mandatory and he was forced into it. There are at least another 10 arreola's to defend against before this coward fights someone decent.

I don't believe a word of this.

Why? AJ is slow, wilder has much faster hands, and AJ is chinny. They all want a piece of him, so they can take that big old hype-train that Eddie Hearn is building, for themselves. They won't get it though. Eddie is on a laser-straight path to a David Haye showdown.

I think Wilder intends to milk his title for as long as he's able, or until he's forced to fight a real threat (who may or may not be Joshua). Joshua, as you correctly deduce, is on track to meet Haye, probably after Haye beats Briggs, and won't be steered near Wilder any time in the near future. Result, neither man fights the other.

You don't really believe that.

Wilder is a lot faster and busier...

Joshua is lumbering and painfully slow compared to Wilder...of course you already know this.

Slow compared to Wilder?

Ok .. Thanks for the laugh.

Aj looks a lot better?? I guess depending on what country you are from. In my opinion they are similar. They both throw awkward punches

A LOT better. Wilder's technique is absolutely awful. In his last fight, he literally swung so hard he turned himself over. Despite looking athletic, he has extremely slow and ponderous feet. Dragging them across. He punches square on too. Just not in the same league as Joshua.

And yes we can play the country game, but the truth is Wilder punches extremely hard, but he doesn't box that well.

Does anybody believe that Szpilka would take AJ past 2-3 rounds?

Wilder is the best champ out there.

Let me count the ways

Power
Speed
Black
Skills
Defence
Agility
Slick Ness

Nobody has him beat, nobody.

He is the best champ since holy field in 97

Stiverne is the only Wilder opponent worth mentioning, stop embarassing yourself.

The rest of these guys 'you actually heard of before' were washed up and way past their primes. And some of them still gave him fits.

Y'all won't even give him credit for the first win so wtf should he fight and beat him agat

Honestly I think they both would benefit if the fight took place later down the road. Both are still developing their skills. Although I think AJ has more power II would give a slight edge to Wilder because he throws a lot of punches for a heavyweight. AJ doesn't throw a lot of combos which I think could hurt him against Wilder. Like you said It's a great fight 5star fight and we know anything could happen in the heavyweight division.
I'm pretty much excited to see what both of those guys do down the road.
