Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: 'Desperate' Wilder Needs Our Fight More Than Me

[Throwingbombs]

It really is astonishing how Wilder fans can give AJ ****.

A man who in 19 fights has accomplished way more than Wilder in 40 fights. Yet they give AJ **** as if HE is some sort of ducker and has fought nobody. The sheer gall of the average yank is quite incredible. I am just shaking my head in disbelief reading some of this ****.

Lol fans getting to him. Notice he moved the date up. Fans ain't letting you run from this a** whooping AJ hahaha.

I disagree! Anthony Joshua's legacy will be ducking Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder. History is already documenting your shameless duck, step up chump.

Maybe he should make Wilder 6 years for the fight.

Americans just need to accept Britain owns the heavyweight division. Just like when Lewis beat up Holyfield and busted up Mike Tyson, Riddock Bowe was so petrified of fighting him he threw his belt in a trash can!

Then Tyson Fury smashed up your fighters and ruled the division.

Now AJ rules supreme and is busting up more yanks.

When AJ retires will an American finally get a chance to reign supreme? hell no unlucky chaps, Dynamite Daniel Dubois is emerging on the horizon to smash up some more of your heavyweights.

Sounds like AJ is priming everyone for an inevitable ducking of Wilder. All he talks about is how he's not in a hurry to fight in America and how he knows he'll lose one day and now how he doesn't "need" to fight Wilder.

AJ needs to let go of the cowardly part of his heritage that got him dropped by the 40 year old corpse of a Klitchko and landed him in prison for dealing drugs and is responsible for his fear of other fighters.....And he needs to tap into his Irish blood that got him to the Championship and will help him garner the courage to face the best available and come to America where the real fighters are.

Gotta say I'm a fan of both but tbh apart from the klitschko win neither of them really havenany impressive wins on their resume, but they are number 1 and 2 in the division so make it happen.


When it does happen only think wilder stands a chance in the first few rounds, as he's got a helluva dig on him... but there's also a fragility about him which is why I see Joshua folding him in the mid-late rounds...

Uh oh.......

Who created the notion that Wilder needed to fight Whyte? Hearn. So now the guy who signed to fight the division boogeyman in Ortiz is afraid of fighting Joshua or Whyte for that matter?

When did Wilder vs Joshua become more about making the most money and not about determining who the best HW is?

All fighters fight for money, they are not doing it for charity. So all that rubbish about determining who the best is at HW is just that rubbish. I couldn’t care less what they make, but in boxing there is also the business that allows a fight to happen or not happen. Trying to pretend or being ignorant to that fact as a fan of the sport is genuinely amusing.

I like Wilder better but AJ is actually a really likable guy a d fun to watch.

Please don’t avoid Wilder. May-Pac, Canelo-GGG this stuff leaves a bitter taste in everyone’s mouth

There is a difference between understanding the money side and promoting the use of money as an excuse not to fight someone. It's our responsibility as fans to push for the best to fight the best....period.

Rubbish is Wilder vs Stiverne and Joshua vs Takam.
