Eddie Hearn Responds To Deontay Wilder's Call Out

[Kigali]

Tommy Morrison > Deontay Wilder

Sven Ottke > Joe Calzhage

Joe shamelessly DUCKED Glenn Johnson
Sven not only FOUGHT him....he BEAT him.

Great, great, we can't wait to see the Joshua-Pulev Megafight at the Cardiff. Pfffft. Thank god Hearn is here to save us all from horrible fights like Wilder-Joshua. All Hail Eddie!!

Not one of AJ's fans are in a hurry to see him fight Wilder...despite their claims he'd beat Wilder easily.

Yea and Wilder got knocked out in the amateurs by Gary Cornish.

What goes out of the window? You can't be talking about the IBF mandatory surely?

The IBF's degree says "AFTER THE REMATCH."

There's no rematch. So those words have no bearing on an AJ-Wilder fight.

It's unfortunate because AJ seems like a good dude. It's obvious Hearn has no intention of of putting AJ in with Wilder so why not let sleeping dogs lie. No reason to keep bringing up Wilder.

'Wilder so why not let sleeping dogs lie. "

Do you see the irony in that quote? lol

So now capturing all the belts matters?

Hearn said after the Wlad fight that he doesn't mind dropping belts if mandatories get in the way of bigger fights.

Wilder nor Parker got the strongest reps at HW. In fact I think a lot of people consider Ortiz the 2nd best guy in the division.

Why do you feel like Hearn wouldn't make Joshua vs Wilder?

I think Hearn is maybe the most in tune promoter in the business today & understands that the show is more important then winning or losing. I think he'd throw any guy he promotes in any fight that makes sense money-wise & skill-wise. But yea I think he's trying to keep belts which I'm no fan of, but I understand why promoters still value them & why they do still have value even if their value is at a all time low.

But Hearn was talking about dropping belts to take big fights, not dropping it to fight the best fighters.

Nobody can say Wilder v Joshua wouldn't be a big fight. It's much bigger than the Pulev or Ortiz fight whether you rate Ortiz higher or not.
