Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Feels Wilder is Not Big Enough: I'll Eat Him!

It definitely wouldn't hurt if Wilder took a page out of Briggs playbook.

"Let's go AJ"

If I'm Wilder. I'd take the Breazeale fight, KO him, then head to whatever fight AJ has and show up at every press event screaming "let's go champ!" The British fans love that **** lol

One thing for sure.
Wilder upped his visibility and marketability in the UK with that win.
I thought Hearn was right that he should fight Whyte before AJ to get the $ up.
The Stiverne win was so spectacular and Whyte's latest fight was so lame that I don't think he needs it.

Hearn himself admitted as much after the Bivol fight.

He'd get more leverage by beating Parker first. At least the New Zealander's got a belt. And he would fight in the US. With Parker eliminated, there would be no way for Hearn to delay a Joshua-Wilder fight to crown an undisputed HW champion.

I agree for the most part. The problem would be getting parker to fight wilder. He came to his fight, talked to his team for days, then ran for the hills to fight a #15 ranked sparring partner than nobody ever heard of. Now that parker is aligned with top rank...... Bob is gonna milk parker for all he can. I figure a soft touch in new Zealand to be shown as a showcase on ESPN, a down under money fight with Lucas Browne, a fight in America with Bryant Jennings..... I would think it's gonna take a lot of money for Bob to throw away those type plans and unify with wilder. Or even Joshua for that matter. I don't see parker being in the cards for either guy anytime soon. Especially wilder.

Joshua would stop Wilder and win easily if they meet up

Joshua is a better boxer than Wilder and has as much power. Wilder does have some skills but has yet to meet anyone great. Wlad would have beaten Wilder. Have the fight in the UK and just tell Wilder it is in the USA.

AJ wins this fight.
It is easy to ko a can.

What you don't understand is that if this fight happens AJ is paying Wilder.

Wilder will be worth about 20% which he will never take. Hence the reason they want him to fight Whyte to make himself worth about 40% and double the size of the AJ fight at the same time.

Wilder also doesn't realise that by demanding so much money (pricing himself out) for Whyte he is trying to take more money from the pocket of AJ and Whyte because Matchroom need to find that money and it comes out of AJs purse.

This is why AJ and Matchroom talk about options. Boxing is, and always will be about money. Wilder is too ****** to realise how well he can be paid.

I'm a fan, so I stay in my lane. My lane as a fan is desiring the best matchups. Their lane as fighters and promoters is to produce the fights fans wanna see most.

That being said, this is the fight fans desire most. As a fan, PLEASE don't talk numbers if your NOT a financial beneficiary of this event, as it only serves to stall out negotiations further.

I don't think it's far fetched to realize that fighters, promoters etc sometimes peruse sights like these to get a pulse of the fans narrative. U furthering "the numbers aren't there narrative" is not in anyone's interest except Hearns.

Takam is 6-1 and was 20 lbs lighter than 254 lb AJ.

AJ still needed overly zealous ref assistance to stop uber driver Takam in the 10th round. He thinks his weight will help him against bombsquad?

AJ wins this fight.
It is easy to ko a can.

It wasnt easy for AJ to KO a can. He needed ref assistance. The ref realized AJ was looking terrible and the fight would go 12 rounds so went in and stopped it.

AJ cant stop a 6'1'' 20 lb lighter uber driver. He thinks he can easily stop bombsquad?

I kind of side with this way of thinking. Joshua has definitely paid himself a disservice by getting as big as he can - his stamina was questionable anyway and his chin has shown it isn’t exactly the best. I think he’s trying to be heavier so he can take shots better in all honesty. But yeah, if Joshua is gassed and got rocked against Wilder there is no chance in hell he could cope with Wilders crazy attacks. Vs Wladimir he needed more than a round to compose himself, something the older Klitshcko was happy to oblige...Wilder not so much.

AJ needs to lose weight, bottom line. Wilder might be the butt of some jokes for being built ‘slimmer’ shall we say, but the bottom line is - in a fight, whose build will pay off? Would you rather be a big chunk of 250+ muscle or a trim 220?

I fckn hate you lol........Took all my words.....Great insightful post. Expect to be attacked.
