Comments Thread For: Hearn Wants Joshua vs. Parker Unification By Mid-2018

[D4thincarnation]

I'll pay Wilder $15K to fly to the UK to knock you DA FAWK OUT!

That might be his biggest pay day.

Don't get Deontay all excited over nothing now.

Pay the man

I think Hearn is mishandling Joshua's career but why is Joshua letting him. So they are both at fault, Joshua should be fighting 3 times a year not 2. Most belts don't rank the same guys number 1 as the others do so more mandatories. He's right about not mentioning wilder, wilder hasn't even fought his Mando and he's had his belt for 2 and a half years. But everyother fighter does have to fight his mandatory once a Year

hearn knows exactly what he is doing. it's going to be twice a year for joshua now. as it should be. too much at stake to risk the belts more often than that.

Hearn is handling Joshua's career very well. In less than 20 fights, he's put two titles around AJ's waist, put him in the ring with Klitchko once (and if Klitchko wants another go, twice) which also bought AJ a bigger payday than Wilder has ever sniffed, and positioned him as the stronger side in any negotiations going forward.

While Wilder, who's had twice as many fights, watches the top spot get taken away in a flash.

Absolutely. It's a non-negotiable thing, AJ has to take care of his prior arrangements before Wilder, or end up stripped of at least the IBF title, and in court with Klitchko. It's black and white, and it's incredible that there are people who can't grasp it.

We just had a situation where a guy was stripped of a belt because he didn't fight his mandatory. Hearn knows this and knew it before the Klitshcko fight happened. AJ can get money fighting his mandatories in the UK before having the unification fight.

Charles Martin didn't do nothing, Eric Molina didn't do nothing to get a fight with A.J

Charles Martin had the IBF belt.

Why bring up Molina when he also fought Wilder?

On the flip side, what did Washington, Arreola, Duhapas and Szpilka do to get a fight with Wilder?

To me, it is more interesting to see Wilder have these fights when he is 38 fights in his pro career while AJ has half the amount.

Wilder should be fighting much better guys than that

Charles Martin was a paper champion -- maybe the worst champion in the history of the HW division, winning the title by injury vs. Vyacheslav Glazkov that was ranked in the top of the HW division and set to fight Wilder but instead he to take a easier route to a world title vs. Martin ; this was a clear Cherry pick by A.J. who could of fought Deontay for the WBC since his ranking at the time was almost due a shot.

Then you ask me why I brought up Molina? maybe that bothered you because deep down you know that at the time A.J was already champion and a draw in the UK yet they made no excuses on fighting Eric Molina and like I said Eddie Hearn made him out to be a bum when Wilder smashed him but when A.J fought him he was a threat...OK ? theres a clear double standard and thats ok with members like you and I find it hypocritical that you turn around and trash Wilders record knowing these top guys have been avoiding him from Glazvok, both Fury's, Joshua, Parker and the list goes on but when some bum calls out Deontay you point the finger at him -- UNBELIEVABLE!

You better go into hiding Mohammad. The Bronze Bomber is seeking to bring a can of whoop ass to your dinner table.

Cherry pick? Hahaha. AJ was never Wilder's WBC mandatory, let alone lined up by Haymon to fight for the title, so he wasn't guaranteed ****.

Let's see...watch Wilder fight his mandatory and another voluntary defense, then hope the WBC gives you the mando spot, then wait up to 12 months to have the fight organized. Or, fight for the IBF title, get millions, and get on with his career.

But that's a cherry pick, right? No, it's getting a ****ing title and progressing instead of waiting around. Just because Wilder has sat on his belt for 2 and a half years, doesn't mean everyone else should do the same. Since then, AJ has fought Klitchko, added the WBA, lined up a second Klitchko fight, and has positioned himself as the man in the HW division.

Wilder fans just bitter than AJ has achieved more than him, in half the fights.

True but it's not always about money. Joshua has already made more money than I will ever earn in my lifetime. And it will keep rolling in. I'm just saying keep him a little more active, that is always good for a fighter

He's going by the book, but in this game, the ending can change. 3 to 4 times a year would be much better for Joshua's career in the long run
