Comments Thread For: Now Is The Time To Make Joshua vs. Wilder

[b00g13man]

The time to make Joshua vs Wilder will be when Eddie Hearn says so!

AJ sells 1.5 PPVs against anybody! How many PPVs has li'l d sold?

Mr ZERO K knows what he has to do if he wants to fight the biggest draw in boxing and Eddie is offering him his biggest payday ever for doing it!

Li'l d should shut the fuck up, stop stalling, sign that contract and get his skinny ZERO K PPV selling ass over to the UK to fight Dillian Whyte like Eddie Hearn tells him to!

Weren't you one of those crying when Canelo pulled the A-side bs over GGG?

Fair or not, logical or not, last night was a star making performance. The visual of him standing with his hands down, like a mythical beast or villain from a superhero movie, is so captivating that even the most casual of fans are clicking links to find out more about what happened last night.

Nobody knew who Wilder was before the weekend, and nobody knows who he is now. Putting a bum like Stiverne to sleep means **** all.

I'm not focused on Whyte -yeah I'd like to make the fight -Wilder is fighting Breazeale next but I'm sure they will make you think otherwise

Not sure if you're trolling and it might be a bit extreme to say it will live on in the annals of sporting legend, but it was a captivating moment that will be talked about for the rest of Wilder's career. The look on his face from the opening bell, the look on his face when he stood with his hands down, the way he juked before throwing the final combination on the third knockdown, etc, were such incredible combinations of charisma and devastation that it was the kind of sequence that captures the imagination of the public.

Key words "we have other plans"....next the fight couldnt be made cuz wilder plays the A side in negotiations....i my be dumb but not blind we talking about a guy with 39 pro fights a pro since 2008 but somehow managed to not fight any relevant heavyweight in a decade?!...only recognizable names outta 39 wins is arreola and bermane who are both outta shape bums!..wilder avoided the klitchko brothers not one but both,tyson fury,anthony joshua,David haye,sultan ibrigamov,samuel peters,kubrat pulev,ruslan chagev,bryant jennings,nikolay valuev,hasim rahman,tony thompson...Anthony Joshua fought klitchko in just his 19th pro fight while wilder is 39 fights still fighting bums!...wilder is not my champ!

You can't be serious!?

This was up there with his iconic windmill win over Audley Harrison, no more! hahahaha

There has been no buzz over this fight either. You can link as many article you have found about it if you want, numbers don't lie for this one.

The only reason he is getting talked about is because they name-drop Joshua every damn interview, he's getting famous because Joshua has lit up the division and made the division popular again, Wilder is now surfing that wave.....not because of anything he has achieved in the ring.

Americans have really taken the bait on this one, all pumped up, although

Calm mate - we will get it..don't be fooled by their noise when I'm the only one reaching out. Haven't had one call/mail from them

I've been saying this. It's easy mouthing off in the media but make an offer than can't be refused which I don't think Wilder's handlers have even bothered doing.

... Hearn has an alternative for his cash cow Joshua -- Parker (in April-May, at the Wembley stadium)...

We all know Wilder won't be Joshua's next opponent. Even if the public pressure becomes overwhelming, the absolute soonest Joshua would face Wilder would be two fights from now.

But this article brings attention to a very important development. Wilder went viral today. The knockout was covered by almost every major sports site as an absolute must see moment. The last 24 hours have created more buzz for Wilder than he's had in the rest of his career combined.

People have been sleeping on Wilder for a while, but sometimes all it takes is one moment for everyone to collectively wake up. Fair or not, logical or not, last night was a star making performance. The visual of him standing with his hands down, like a mythical beast or villain from a superhero movie, is so captivating that even the most casual of fans are clicking links to find out more about what happened last night.

You don't think the fight needs to marinate? You know like the Mayweather way?

The fact that the victory was so violent, so emphatic, and maybe most critically, so brief that it can be jammed into an Instagram video or a few short GIFs is what's really important.

Yep, Wilder turned the whole fight into a short GIF or Twitter video with his power LOL Great promotion for low attention span folk and casuals.
