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

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

. I honestly believe that all the good heavyweights want a piece of AJ because he is so overhyped that they will send their careers 5 or 10 years into the future by beating him, which most of the top heavies can do.

Lol i laughed so hard at this. You cold blooded brother

Actually he could have easily ducked him for Martin, unifications take precedence over mandatories.

He chose to fight Povetkin, Martin won the title before Wilder beat Spilka, but Wilder told everyone in the post fight interview he wanted povetkin, and continued to say so until the contract was signed and he went to UK to prepare.

Even before that, when Klit was still champ, Wilder said he would take care of povetkin first while Klit takes care of fury (both Fury and Povetkin being their mandatories at the time).

The notion that Wilder ducked or ever intended to duck Povetkin is a fabrigated fantasy by American haters/racists, it never existed.

By actions, it is irrefutable that Povetkin is in fact the one that has ducked Wilder three times already.

No he couldn't have. Wilder was given permission to fight Spzilka on the agreement that he had to fight Povetkin within the first 6 months of the year.

Wilder was forced to fight Povetkin and would not have been granted a unification under those terms. The WBC stated this.

I am not saying Wilder ducked Povetkin, but don't say he chose to fight him over a unification or other options. It was pretty clear the WBC ordered it and there was no way out.

False. Wilder was not forced to fight Povetkin....the WBC ordered the mandatory fight due to delaying the fight and not fufilling his obligation as the mandatory. It was Povetkin who requested more time which is why Wilder faced Szpilka in January. The WBC finally got fed up with Povetkin's team delaying the fight since the Summer and ordered for negotiations to begin and the fight to take place within 90 days ...Then Povetkin delays the fight yet again by failing a drug test talking about a fight with Wilder at the end of the year....The WBC, fans and Wilder are tired of the games ....So look for Povetkin to be suspended and lose his mandatory spot.....It doesnt make sense to be the mandatory and scared to fight.

Some of you UK fans are just downright hateful. Does everyone act like this over there. Y'all hate on America every chance y'all get.

Coming from one of the worst anti non American posters/trolls on here. Going on like you no everything about boxing but when it comes to a real debate you get owned.
Telling that other guy to stop arguing like a lil girl!! You was arguing like a lil girl with me not so long ago for days, always had to have the last word, contradicting yourself and not making any sense at all.

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.

Let me reword that. I meant that compared to Joshua, Wilder is more limber. More fleet of foot. He was a talented basketball player and a talented WR in football, whereas Joshua could only be a lineman in football or a linebacker. Relievers have to be agile enough to run routes and jump and make aerial catches whereas a linebacker needs to be strong and be able to run thru or around a big slow offensive lineman. Both positions require athleticism but two different types. So in boxing Wilder will be the more mobile fighter in that sense and will be able to move better and can throw power shots from more different angles than Joshua can. Didn't mean Wilder was floating like a butterfly or anythin bahahhaa.

R.I.P. the GOAT
