Comments Thread For: Wilder on Joshua: Fight at The End of The Year - Winner Takes All!

[Skip Bayless]

let the fight build, AJ should get his mando out of the way then next year this time at wembley sell out fight wilder. it will be EPIC

[techliam]

So is Floyd Mayweather, but that's totally irrelevant. No one would suggest Floyd come back and fight Terence Crawford or Errol Spence just because he "used" to be the champ. Fury needs at least one test before AJ unless he's just interested in a money-grab before retiring again!

Fury didn't 'used' to be, he is the World Champion

Floyd is retired, what's with the attempted false equivalency?

[Slick_Rick]

Wilder has fought no one. He was ko'ing d/c level fighters in a round, as soon as he stepped up to fight b level fighters he gets the win but it not overly convincing, Duhaupas, Szpilka and Molina all troubled him.
If he does fight Parker, he might win but can see him going life and death.

If Fury can get his act together, him and Joshua is the biggest fight out there, but unfortunately thats a big if

In fact i would prefer Wilder vs Wlad before, see how he deals with him, if he goes onto fight Joshua

I would consider Fury "retired" too. So-called injuries, PED/drug scandals, mental health issues, etc., the guy was a mess! If you're a fan, you wouldn't want him jumping back in so quickly. Let him fight "Big Baby" Miller or give Wlad his rematch before throwing him in there with AJ!

Wilder KO's Joshua in the USA but loses in the UK by KO

Wilder at home in the USA would beat Joshua probably by KO. But Joshua at home in the UK beats Wilder by KO. Home field is a huge advantage to a boxer. Wilder's right hand is scary. Let Wlad and Joe PaRKER HAVE AT IT.

Isn't this the same Wilder who was hurt to the body when he fought Zelenoff? Joshua will blow and Wilder will fall down. Only Heavyweight, whom I've ever seen get KO'd cold with head gear on.

You do realize that Wilder has only fought one legitimate opponent and he was defensive, didn't get a KO and moved all night working from a jab?

That right isn't effective against anyone who isn't slow and unskilled enough to sit there and wait for that long wind up. By the time Wilder tried to wind up that right hand, he'd be hit with a four-piece from Joshua...

This isn't the NFL - go back to ESPN.com or go comment on a First Take YouTube video or something... get lost...

Joshua too complete for Wilder.

[Scipio2009]

They could mess with the order and have Joshua go first or second if the fight is in the US, stack the rest of the card with solid fights to keep the crowd.

If in England 1 am would likely be the time they would shoot for.

Not sure if that'll work though; outside of Floyd being in the main event (in a meaningful fight), I can't think of a single matchup that could closeout an event that featured a fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.
