Comments Thread For: Hearn Maintains Path is Being Mapped Out To Joshua-Wilder

[KillaCamNZ]

I'm still dumbfound that in 2017 "boxing fans" still give a **** about the belts.

Me too, sadly. They used to mean so much but...the dilution has reached the point where every mother****er has a strap.

So many idiots on here that don't understand that Joshua and Wilder have MANDATORY fights they have to take or they must vacate their belts. We will get this fight in time as long as both guys keep winning, just enjoy the ride until we get there

I don't see why it can't happen in Nov like Wilder suggested.

Because joshua has a mandatory and will be stripped if he doesnt fight him.

I would say the idiots are the ones that think belts are a legitimate excuse to not make the best fights possible.

While normally unifications trump mandatories, this case both belt organizations are refusing to allow it because the mandatories have been outstanding for a while.

He could give up both belts and fight Wilder of course, but I think both sides want the belts on the line.

Although I would prefer to see Joshua-Wilder as soon as possible, keeping all the titles in play makes sense.

But let's see if Hearns actually puts Joshua in with Ortiz . . . .

I dont see Wilder having a problem making whatever mandatory WBC order.

It should be pretty obvious to the fans who is ducking who here

There's not been an undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis and BOTH Wilder and Joshua have talked about wanting to be unified heavyweight champion. If you class that as an illegitimate excuse then you clearly have an agenda.

Good luck getting Wilder to agree to that.

He is the biggest chickenshit in boxing and a disgrace to the WBC belt.

Wilder already called out AJ and mentioned a date and venue while Hearn is talking about ****ing maps.

Wladimir was about as "undisputed" as it gets in the near decade (in separate stints of inactivity)his brother spent away from the sport during his reign. Real fight fans don't need belts to tell them who the class of a division is.

What fight fans want or need is irrelevant. Both Joshua and Wilder want to be unified champion, ergo expecting either of them to fight each other in a situation where they will have to drop any of their belts is ludicrous.
