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

[MDPopescu]

AJ handles the words that come out of his mouth and he sounds like a f.aggot diva lately . When he beat Martin he was humble , talked about hes not done or accomplished anything he still have 3 straps to go before he reaches his goal, it's not about $ it's legacy. Now not so much.


I get Hearn being cautious, I understand and don't blame him it's probably the best for AJs career but Hearn and AJ are becoming a little too smug and arrogant and Honestly wouldn't mind both getting a reality check

Wilder may never be that huge PPV star but right now he's still the only other name in the HW division that matters , he's still AJs top 3 payday. His fights have been some of the most watched fights in the US the last 3 years. You want to fight Takam , Parker before Wilder sure Makes sense but to delay it beyond
That doesn't make sense to me

Don't you follow the news?
AJ was ordered to fight his 2 mandos (Pulev and Ortiz)... Now Pulev withdrew, after the Cardiff stadium was already sold out, and AJ has to fight "replacement" Takam there, which is bad for business... AJ didn't want Takam... As about Parker: I think the guy will be more than happy to get a big payday by fighting AJ on a stadium in spring... But why Wilder doesn't he call out Parker now?...

Eventually he would need Wilder, as of now meh I couldn’t care less who he fights. No one is worth mentioning to be honest. They are all mediocre. Wilder doesn’t deserve the fight IMHO, Joshua doesn’t deserve those belts (Fury’s belt) and fury doesn’t deserve to be in the ring. Hopefully Parker can build himself up and he can make a Joshua fight worth watching. Right now the HW are boring .

GGG isn't in the news right now.
So let's hate on...
...Joshua!
He'll do.

sad hater losers

Let desperate Wilder wait forever.
He was in no rush to fight Klitschko and Fury who were on top at that time.
He was in no rush to replace Fury in the rematch when Klits was very much available.
Klits would fight Kingkong at that moment of need.
Why is Beyonce Wilder rushing now?
Because he feels being left out.

lol @ putting out talking points for all the ****** AJ fanboys out there. Remember when these fanboys would talk about legacy over money, now they don't give a **** when instead of Mayweather it's their UK nationalistic hero AJ doing it. Wilder is a fighter that actually cares about legacy and because of who he is gets dissed for it as "desperate" Every champion should be "desperate" to unify ****ing heathens.

Wilder already called him out but Parker doesn't want any smoke, Parker really is irrelevant for speaking Wilder's name, flying out to his fight, only to duck the matchup. Also what sense does it make to do anything to get in the way of Wilder and AJ fighting until plans are solidified after their next fights?

Bad management I think or maybe they were not as confident in his abilities. I think he beat stiverne back in 2015 if am correct and since then he hasn’t really fought anyone. He had Fury, Haye, Klitschko etc around at that time. Joshua who only recently started boxing and turning pro has done better building his name up in a shorter time, he took the risk that I thought he wouldn’t by fighting Wlad, so he has the right to make anyone else wait, if Wlad was so old why didn’t Wilder fight him?

Let’s see if he build his name up after next week rematch. If he wins and refuse to fight Whyte then I don’t think he really wants Joshua, maybe they have a better way to build him up over there.

I only watched Parker once (vs Cojanu), and it was enough for me.

Show me one name in his resume that proves that point.

You can talk, but you know in 19 fights AJ has done far more for his legacy than Wilder has, or ever will do.

... Nobody is able to tell Wilder who to fight... he even took Gerald Washington for only $900,000...
