Now We Know Why Hearn Is Protecting AJ from Wilder

[mjbjst]

I've said it many times before.

When all is said and done, I believe AJ will be the best heavy of this era.

But, if AJ fights Wilder in the next year or so, Deontay sparks him out.

The truth is, AJ is still learning some things.

And one of those things is how to deal with movement.

Another of those things is how to block right hands.

AJ doesn't fight very well against a guy that can stick and move.

Throw in some power and it is very bad news for AJ.

I think AJ vs Klitschko is the fight of the year.

I think AJ deserves all the praise he gets for doing what he did that fight.

But, that fight also showed exactly why Wilder is so dangerous to AJ.

And last night that theory was reconfirmed.

Wilder has never failed to deliver his power to his opponent, no matter who they were.

He WILL do the same against AJ unless Joshua learns how to block right hands.

And judging by what we saw of Anthony- vs a shorter guy on less than 2 weeks notice- he still hasn't quite shored up that defensive flaw.

Now we know why Hearn is avoiding this fight.

Ahh you overconfident American's. Does your ignorance show no bounds

All the fight proved was that Wilder can knock out a piece of **** like Stiverne. It’s really odd that some people have seen the win as more evidence of Wilders ability....he fought a carcass ffs!
We already knew that he beats cans to be fair...he hits hard no doubt.
Trouble is, AJ would hit back and he’s not used to that having fought such a poor sequence of opponents.
Personally, I think AJ knocks him out very early in an embarrassingly one sided fight.

You comparing Wilder to Lubin?

AJ is supposed to be the heavyweight champion of the world.That means he is supposed to be the best heavyweight in the world and be ready to prove it in the ring against the best possible opponents right now. There is no more time for on the job training. If AJ is not willing to fight Wilder now then he isn't the real champion. He is a fake champion who should give up his title and learn what he needs to know and come back when he is ready to fight the best. AJ stalling the Wilder fight off for a couple of years while he improves is a bunch of BS.Wilder is ready to come to England and fight him right now. If AJ refuses to settle who is the best then I consider Wilder the true heavyweight champion of the world because he is willing to fight anybody.

You must have forgot your own mantra about A-side and B-side. AJ is clearly the A-side, and the fight needs to take place in U.K. Wilder has not shown interest in fighting there. He also thinks he is worth 50% of the purse when he only earns 10% of what AJ earns per fight. Wilder will price himself out.

It's not ignorance to watch Wlad put AJ on his arse with a right hand and wonder if Joshua would get up if that was Deontay throwing the punch.

And apparently Hearn doesn't want to risk finding out either.

I prefaced my remarks by saying I believe AJ is the better fighter.

But, right now, he is kinda tailor-made for an awkward unorthodox guy with power.

In other words, Wilder.

It's the only explanation why Deontay is the one guy you hear a pause about whenever Hearn or AJ are asked about it.

AJ vs Wilder should happen next.

Not eventually, not down the road, not after mandatories.

Next.

Which one of y'all is telling the truth?

You can't call next until you say something that makes sense.

I meant the fight should be next.

But, I find it completely appropriate you took it the other way.

Next.

Wilder is a very dangerous fight for AJ and that is why Hearn doesn't want that fight at the present. Klitchko hurt AJ and Wilder punches much harder than Klitchko does. Can AJ knock Wilder out, yes but my opinion is Wilder tags him good and then it is the beginning of the end for AJ.
