Comments Thread For: Hearn: I'd Like Wilder To Fight Whyte - Winner Gets Joshua Shot

[Reloaded]

im not really buying it...

one one hand you say they dont know wilder.....then u say hes prob the best hw aside from AJ....

now i know the UK boxing fans are rabid and love it.....so u cant tell me theres an american HW thats prob the best HW aside from AJ and they dont really know who he is

the joshua/wilder fight sells out and it sells itself

now im not going to say he shouldnt fight whyte...but if he doesnt i dont think anyone cares or we are missing anything

This is about Hearn double dipping that's all, nobody wants Whyte AJ we already know what that's about, Hearn want to cash in on Wilder twice.

No different to Oscar or Arum, promoters feathering their nest.

I thought AJ is a star over there. He just sold 70,000 tickets to fight Pulev. Hype up for what?

That's a good one lol. Now they say. Wilder ducking a guy who just tried to fight Grant. Lmfao. His resume blahblahblah need exposure......Excellent point as to say pulev is bigger draw than wilder. Shiiiit ill bet Wilder is more known in the UK than here in the states.

Why would a champion, fight a challenger, in order to fight another champion? Sorry, hate all you want, but Deontay Wilder is not BJ Saunders! If Wilder beats Stiverne (mando) and AJ beats Takam (mando), then the next step is Wilder vs. AJ in Wembley! "Anything less would be uncivilized."

Whyte beats Wilder and he knows it that’s why he turns down a record payday hoping he will earn more swerving Whyte and fighting Joshua he’s packing glass and his team knows it.

Nobody in America knows who Whyte is, what the heck has he done ever? No title, not a big name, got KTFO. I will concede that the UK is on fire right now boxing wise, but stop acting like its the center of the universe, Whyte is irrelevant is in the US, this is about ducking the bomber. Hearn does NOT WANT WILDER.

Swear they gotta see this.... If you think anything else than ^^^^^ then clearly you're biase as hell. Road block after road block. Imagine wilder in his promoter talking like this and the roles reverse.......1000 comments in first 23 mins.

If Whyte is so easy and Wilder wants a Joshua fight, why didn't he accept the Whyte offer which would have been his biggest payday and moves him 1 step closer to Joshua? Answer that Wilder fans.

Wilder is ducking. Clear as day.

Lol i understand you love your fighter but to say Wilder is ducking a guy who just tried to fight Grant when Wilder tried to fight Ortiz is just to full of biaseness homie. Hearn said Aj can knock him out in 3 but hasn't made a Unified fight yet. Is Aj Clearly ducking also. That spins either way.

[RapidSon]

to me its just an opportunity for hearn to double dip with wilder

these guys are sort of contradicting themselves....one guy is saying that wilder is ducking a career high payday and way more money than he will make for stiverne....then another guy is saying that UK fans dont really know who he is

so how can hearn be offering him big money if people dont know wilder? they know wilder over there

hearn just wants to bring wilder over and give his lesser fighter a crack and still make ton of money.....its like when kathy duva got barrera his biggest purse knowing that kovalev would get him next ...if whyte loses to wilder hearn dont lose nothing

This fight will sell out no matter the venue imo simply cause boxing fans will want to see it forget the casuals for a second. UK and US boxing fans are already clamoring for this fight compared to AJ's fight with Wlad. Fans argue up to the T that no one knows Wilder..but no one knows Whyte in his own country. Did you see his last fight?? Wilder does waay better than that come on now.

The Fact still stands AJ is a champion and should be talking like one. Yall UK fans sound b****

I would agree here. Its like they using whythe as a blocking bet ( poker term). Love uk fans but clearly they should be pushing to make the Wilder fight being his resume looks like ****, no balance, windmills etc......If he so dam flawed and Aj starches him so effortlessly then wtf is the hold up. So pulev didnt need to fight whythe and sell out Wembley but wilder needs a whythe for exposure lol. Somebody gotta see the irony......Right!!

[N/A]

So many here are convinced Wilder is a fraud. That Joshua would destroy him.

Hearn's behavior clearly shows he doesn't believe that. Not that he necessarily thinks Joshua would lose, but clearly he views Wilder as a serious serious threat that shouldn't be rushed into.

Why is that? Why do so many here believe Wilder is a joke, yet Hearn is so threatened by him?

[methodcal]

like i said before..im not buying a rabid uk boxing fanbase doesnt know who the best american HW is especially since wilder/joshua has been talked about for over a year......when joshua linked up with showtime everyone knew what they were steering towards....id say if you friends dont know wilder than your friends are probably on the very low end of "casual"

no offense to whyte...but what has he done to be "rated quite highly"? beat chisora? beat brian minto?

seriously not bashing whyte.....but its like saying "we rate eubank jr quite highly over here" when his wins are all domestic level comp

Im on board with you. Dont add up. Champ vs Champ. Wtf I wonder what Lennox would do or think of this **** and Aj right now.
