Comments Thread For: Wilder Challenges Joshua to Fight Him November 11 in Las Vegas

[kafkod]

have you never heard of belt orgs changing their minds or going off on tangents for no reason?

Here there would be a very good reason for them to make a further exception. Sure Pulev would be hard done by - who cares when a mega fight takes the place of a boring mandatory.

The IBF, that's who. Once they order a mando, it's set in stone. They're not going to change that ruling, no point even thinking about it.

Read this moron...

I stopped reading at the place where you forgot word "from" to put before "moron". What important can you post if you do such mistakes?

Anyway, good luck to you if you believe any organization will risk their PR for even mentioning obstruction against Unification fight in HeavyWeights. Because you really need luck living like this.

IBF doesn't do **** like that and Pulev would have grounds to sue. Wilder is calling Joshua out when he knows Joshua has his hands tied. Pathetic.

Pulev sue yes - but for lost earnings - that could be figured out easy enough. Eddie Hearn should explore this otherwise he isn't doing his job - the fight with Pulev isn't signed yet. Al least call Wilder's bluff.

You throwing cold water on what could be the biggest matchup in boxing.

That's your problem you stop reading before you get all the info. Which makes you a moron.

That scrap would make BOXING BIG BUSINESS

Closed minds. All Hearn has to do is get on the phone with the IBF, WBA and maybe Pulev's team and take it from there. He can call the WBC for good measure too. Sure he has all their numbers on speed-dial.

The only think against doing this fight now is it would be even bigger further down the line if both stay unbeaten ... and there's the catch.

This fight must happen, but it is too early.

In ideal world, Wilder should fight and beat Ortiz and Stiverne again, for example, while Joshua would beat Pulev and Parker - Hughie winner.

[joe strong]

But the Stivernes etc no way should they be mandatories Wilder beat him he got knocked down and questionably beat a journeyman that earns a shot? Plus all these ped guys

Stiverne is the former WBC champion. They are not going to drop him out of the standings. Look back over history of any title. Once a guy holds it he is always somewhere in the rankings. Stiverne was in the top 5 but the fighters ahead of him either went elsewhere for a title shot & Povetkin failed a drug test. The ranking kind of fell in his lap. Much like the WBO mandatory did for Hughie Fury. Neither guy beat a top contender for their spot. The guys ahead of them in the rankings were not eligible for some reason or another & they were the next in line...

LMFAO! Look at that windmill flail!

But you're not seriously bragging about KOing poor Audley .. or are you?

All's I know is that Deontay is a true world champion, in this fight as you referenced vs. Audley Harrison Deontay was traveling the world at the time taking on contenders that were suitable for him at that stage of his career

- A.J on the other hand has been silver spoon fed his whole career even as an amature robbing the Italian of Gold in his backyard ( the 2012 London Olympics ) ; this only transitioned into the pros in 'winning' a world title in his own country and has yet to fight outside the dreary UK.

But why do people hate on the Blue Collar American that earn everything the hard way? this saddens me.
