Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Starting to Make This a Bowe-Lewis Situation

[352]

great post bro

Thank you. Frankly, the quote from Joshua mentions the WBO (but neglects the IBF.) I don't know what that part is all about - but that brings up another matter. Wilder has claimed, rather loudly, that he wants to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the World.

Given that he is not going to fight Joshua before next Summer, what is stopping him from issuing a similar challenge to Joseph Parker, to unify the WBO title with his own? For one thing, if he were to bring BOTH belts to the table, surely, when it comes to the big match up with AJ, having two belts will improve his share of the purse?

I mean, leaving Parker out of things, for the moment, if the next big match is between AJ and Wilder, then, at some point, the winner is going to have to go after Parker, or whoever holds the WBO belt at the time, in order to accomplish "undisputed" status.

And it doesn't end there. As of now, the lineal title is still held by Tyson Fury. With his mooted return on the cards, the only way to complete the set is by beating Fury who, like the other three, has never been defeated in the ring, to date. That's why the next 12-18 months are shaping up to be the best time Heavyweight boxing has seen, for well over a decade...and that is the case even though the rest of the division may not be up to the same standard as the top four or five guys in it.

Wilder is a nightmare for all the bums, tomatos and cab drivers out there! He just a bum beater that makes people think he deserves somehow to fight AJ because he K.O'ed a fat-old-washed up bum!

Why? aj has fought the weakest bums his whole career.

Let's not pretend you have to be elite to fight him.

Starting to become like Bowe/Lewis ? Except neither of them are as good as Bowe or Lewis

tua is 5'8.

Short people can be good boxers. Just look at how AJ struggled with takam. Tua would destroy aj

Wilder tried everything possible to unify with Parker. There were very serious negotiations earlier this year and Wilder was willing to take less than 50/50 to make the fight happen. He was desperate. Showtime was on board to televise in July 2017.

Bob Arum blocked the fight. He promised ESPN that he could deliver world heavyweight title fights and Parker is his only piece of the heavyweight crown. The ESPN deal hadn't been signed yet and Arum was in a panic to convince Parker's co-promoters to avoid Wilder at all costs.

Further, Haymon has ZERO stroke with the WBO and Arum has all the stroke in the world with the WBO. Even if Wilder won the title, he'd be stripped so fast it would make your head spin. Every mandatory would be enforced as quickly as possible with no wiggle room whatsoever until he was forced to vacate.

LOL hows he ducking you? You both had mandatories to fulfil, calling somebody out whilst your both scheduled to face your mandos knowing they can't fight you don't mean anything. If AJ don't step in the ring with him by next year conclusion then call it a duck.

Lolol fight Dylian White first if you want to get to AJ mate- Eddie Hearn

Nobody wants to watch that shyt. If he's serious about Wilder fighting White to get to AJ then its a clear duck.

Maybe Wilder beats AJ but I wouldn't put too much credence on yesterday's performance. Wilder looked spectacular but Stiverne offered zero resistance. It's not like AJ is just going to stand there and get smacked around. If Wilder wins, he will have to be tactically sharp and very patient. I don't see him being as aggressive as he was last night. AJ is also a monster puncher.

AJ is a static robot, of course he'll just stand there.

Yeah Wlad dropped him with the same shot, a straight right set up by a 1-2. The difference is, Wilder will finish him when he drops him. I used to think Joshua KO's Wilder, but the execution I saw on Saturday night was something that shook me to my core. Wilder is the real heavyweight king. That would have been Ortiz if he wasn't on PED's

I agree, stiverne beats almost anyone in the division, and nobody else could have done that to him

I don't know where Eddie gets off making those demands but thats not AJ saying that. I think AJ is prob willing to face Wilder but Hearn is trying to delay the inevitable.
