Eddie Hearn Responds To Deontay Wilder's Call Out

[daggum]

Meh, it only takes one good high-profile fight to launch someone to stardom really. That's what generally happens vs building up with a series of really tough fights. Look at AJ, he fought terrible opponents the entire time until he fought Wlad and then that one win vaulted him to legitimacy and global fame.

Wilder is fine, he just needs one really big win and he will be up there with AJ..

isnt that the hardest part of boxing???

joshua was a huge star doing ppvs even before fighting wlad. he has a built in fanbase. wilder was doing undercards for most his career. he just doesnt have the fanbase and likely never will. beating the best fighters will boost his popularity but he prob has a low ceiling so fighting bums isnt such a bad idea if you have a low ceiling.

Wilder has been headlining Showtime, NBC, and Fox Cards, what on earth are you talking about? Far more people have seen Wilder fight in the US than AJ..

Come on man who's even trying to **** measure Joshua vs Wilder so much as just saying Wilder is f#cking up. Wilder has done f#ck all since winning his title. This is a waste of his talent to have him sit on a belt for almost 3 years now. He's turning into exactly like Stevenson with calling out everyone, but fighting nobody.

Fair enough if Joshua isn't available or is even pissing himself at the thought of being in the same ring as Wilder (I don't think that at all, but lets play along with what some dummies probably do think), but you gotta do something better then fight Gerald Washington & Chris Arreola among some of the other poor opponents he's fought. Win or lose vs the bigger names no one should be a fan of or supportive of a in his prime title holder who's not fighting the best guys available at least every every fight at a minimum. And best guy available I'd argue is a top 3ish guy & Wilder has never done that during his reign. He's a clear paper "champion" along with Joey Parker at HW. Joshua is the only one taking risks & they've worked out for him, but you can't hate on Joshua for taking the risks no one else wants to take.

Exactly. Fury beat Wlad and took his titles, not Joshua. Joshua is a UK draw and that equals "champ" to them. It's hilarious to read.

... Fury should come back first... last time I heard from him on Twitter he said he's retiring...

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

And Joshua's promoter obviously isn't either . . . . .

[The Hammer]

Only a complete moron would think Deontay Wilder is some fearsome, legit champion. The Heavyweight world revolves around Anthony Joshua. Wilder is a loudmouth pretender. A win over Kubrat Pulev followed by a win over Luis Ortiz would be great form. Meanwhile Wilder can rematch Bermane Stiverne and possibly take on Dominic Breazeale, if his management will risk it. Nobody is fooled. Anthony Joshua is the man.

This ^^^^^^

HEARN is becoming a f.ucking clown

I didn't mind him before but now I just see his interviews and comments and he thinks he's the flyest guy in the room

He cares more about being in the spotlight and hyping himself up then his fighers

He wasn't a huge star before fighting Wlad. He's only known in the U.K.

If he wants to sit his stiff ass on U.K. money and his trinkets so be it. But don't ever call him a champion.

Call the stiff suspect chinned suspect PED user a trinket belt holder. Don't ever call him the man or champion.

He's only beaten an old Wlad and Fury beat an old Wlad. These mofos are getting props for beating an old great. Lmao. All the while trying to tell us who Wilder didn't or isn't fighting. Foh with yall lunacy.

He was a nobody then and if Joshua doesn't unify, Hearn will be the same nobody that he is now. King and Arum had their champs milk the title for years.

Hearn has the Rock Newman Syndrome. And he's don't it with a guy who isn't even the true hvw champ lmao.

Well said, and that's a 41 year old Wlad that he beat too.

But..when they mentioned Ortiz as a possible opponent for Wilder they said Ortiz is a tough fighter but he's 100 years old. Excuses already. Now Ortiz is a future opponent for Joshua lmao.

Joshua's fans have already tried to say that Wilder ducked Whyte knowing full well that Wilder had a mandatory that he tried to get out of. Wilder is ok and on course to unify the titles.
