Comments Thread For: Wilder To Hearn: Put Joshua in Package - Then I'll Fight Whyte!

[KnickTillDeaTh]

I'm not the one trying to shut down reasoned discussion with such an infantile remark. Homie.

Arguing over who's the A-side who fills up stadiums and using that as justification of why a fight shouldn't happen is not reasoned discussion. Real boxing fans want to see the best fight the best, and get annoyed by promoters and managers using the A side angle to scuttle the best fights. Who do you think the promoters want to make the fight bigger for? It ain't the real boxing fans, it's for the casuals and to line their own pockets. Now, I don't hate on the promoter/manager grind, but when so called "boxing fans" use those very same arguments as justification and support for a fight not happening, that's absolute proof that they are no fan of boxing.

AJ was on a ****tail of peds for years. The proof is his body. Bodybuilders are always on all kinds of roids. I have no doubt he had the best stuff on the market. However, his last two fights have been the only two with ped testing. And he looked different against Takam than he normally does, to put it nicely. Just sayin, the guy looks like roided up and with real testing for about a year now, the effects would just start to really be wearing off. He probably wants to see how good he is without his special vitamins or mystery shakes. Probably still #1 or #2 heavyweight.

And I don't care how big a Joshua fan anyone is, this here is the definition of ducking. Both have belts and both are seen as the only threat to the other. And Wilder is practically begging for the fight, calling AJ out over and over. I've always thought AJ would beat Wilder, but the way the two of them are acting makes me think Wilder would win.

You Sir, have put it as eloquently as any human being ever could. Josh is acting Keith-Thurmany: not answering direct call outs (calls out?). This fight won't happen any time soon.

If Wilder were to agree to the winner of him v Whyte proceeding to fight AJ, Hearn would sign him in a heartbeat. That's the perfect scenario for them to build to a summer unification fight. If Wilder wins, he's had the exposure, and Wembley fills with 90k fans again. If Whyte wins, the fight is worth even more as it would be a unification of the three main belts between two Brits. So no, Wilder doesn't want any of that downside.

You're delusional.

Ducking running hiding both fighters otherwise engaged, Wilder could K.O Joshua and Joshua could K.O Wilder let it simmer for a while and enjoy the pantomime while it lasts!

Funny cos lots say that they want to see the best fight the best but then call Wilder a bum whilst talking up AJ or AJ a bum whilst talking up Wilder. Its not about the best when you hear people talk it sounds like a petty lil power struggle between US fans and UK fans. I want to see these guys fight because i think its a 50/50 fight.

Joshua is a Media Generated sensation

Boxing is so corrupt. The two best fighter in the heavyweight division won't fight because each one's management team want to control the agenda. This is only made possible by the publics acceptance of multiple World Champions. New promoter with cash just sets up their own commission and TADA! another world title holder they control. As it stands right now you have to admit the Joshua camp is all talk and seems to be so afraid of Wilder that they won't even consider a fight unless they control the location and the judges. In my mind Wilder should be recognised as the best heavyweight out there since he's willing to fight anyone where Joshua is still fed cherry picked opponents. Joshua beat an old slow weak chinned Klitchko and looked amazing because he was just as slow doing it making it competitive. Joshua is a fake
