    Lewis had a raft of Americans worth fighting. AJ beats Wilder over there, and then what? He comes home because there’s f***-all else to fight. There’s literally no upside to crossing the pond at the moment.

    As I’ve said before, Wilder and his hoetrain of fanboys need to accept that he is the B-side due to his garbage resume and he’s dancing to AJ’s tune, not the other way around.

      its not a bigger market for him though since no one knows him. potentially bigger if he can be built up but that takes time and boxing is a short term gain kind of sport. 80k fans and 1.5 million ppv buys in the uk cant be replicated overnight and joshua could be knocked out at any time. it would be smart to start fighting on american tv, kknock over an overrated bum like wilder and get fans, then possibly try the market and see whats up

        The biggest star in USA is Canelo, that`s how it is. It is better for Joshua to milk his status in Uk than try to make a name in States..No need doing that.

          If this thread were about Deontay Wilder saying he was in "no rush" to fight Anthony Joshua the thread would be at least five times longer already.

            Daggum nailed it. You? Clueless at best. And why is it you Wilderholics almost all of you keep blabbering that same line about Whyte? Yes, obviously Whyte isn't elite. SO WHAT? The scenario is set. Go to England, fight (and logically beat) Whyte. Set up a Joshua showdown. If you disagree, it doesn't mean jack. And don't ever become manager of a boxer either. The fighter would do better hiring a clown for that job. LOL!!
            Wilder has his own manager and promoter and Whyte isn't a mandatory. What you two think is logical isn't logical to Wilder or in the best interest of Wilder. So neither of you even have an argument. You Joshua fanatics think that you can map out everyone's career and you really don't know **** about the managerial side of boxing.

              That's because he knows his fight in the US will be against Wilder and not a bum like Takam.

                I know. And just as hard as they go at Wilder, they get mad at me for going at Joshua.

                  I'm not even mad

                  He getting big paydays and huge, supportive crowds out there in the UK

                  If there was a bigger star out here in the US that would be one thing but it is what it is.

                    Plus if it is in the UK the US still get to see it on a sociable time.. If it's in US then the UK gets it at 5am in the morning when every ****er is asleep. AJ is British.. You can't shaft your own fans like that.. They are the reason you are the biggest boxing star in the world.

                    There are no good heavyweights in America.. Wilder is the only guy and unknown in the US.. More people know him in the UK. The rest of the American heavyweights are trash.
                    Tbh, this is it.

                    The Americans are going to have to adapt here. If AJ is still unbeaten.

                    USA isn't mecca as far as heavyweight boxing is concerned.

                      He is probably looking at the Ratings and PPV Numbers (Mayweather not include) and is saying to himself "FOR WHAT?"

                      While I think he would be a Superstar here, no he doesn't need to go to American at all when he is packing 70-90K and is going to make $20 Million to fight Pulev (now Takam)

                      Also has Network Deal with Showtime at the moment so we get to see him in America anyway. It would be different if AJ and Wilder was to switch current positions and AJ NEEDED to come over to make a bigger name for himself overall but that is not the case
