Comments Thread For: Wilder: I Won't Need a Rematch After I Beat Joshua Brutally

[PensionKiller]

I like AJ, but Eddie Hearn doesn't want that smoke for him, They know Mark Breland would have wilder sticking and moving to avoid AJ boxer puncher style, AJ swings hooks to go for the kill more than jabbing so deontay winning is realistic, no one cares about whyte, and wilder shouldn't have to fly for whyte, but he would for AJ

Fight should be on sky sports box office/CBS
Super Bowl weekend in London

That way Eddie Hearn will have American sports media's attention

Whyte will get ****ed up however I don't get why Wilder doesn't want it? It's an easy fight for him... he should get a KO and earn more than he has ever had (From my understanding).

A brutal KO of Whyte means UK fans will definitely know who Wilder is and the PPV sales in the UK will most definitely reach higher numbers. Casual fans still don't know Wilder here because he's only fought in the US.

AJ is making money in the UK. The US does not know him well, like the UK does not know Wilder. Who is a cash cow of the heavyweight division right now? AJ.

If Wilder wants AJ to go to the US, then his team should offer big money. Why the fug should Hearn offer big money to go to the US?

No question Joshua has the leverage. He can fight any of those bums you just named and do big numbers over there. It proves exactly what I have been saying about Joshua. Good young fighter but probably the most carefully managed fighter in boxing.

Looking at Wilder's career and the quality of his opponents would you not agree he's also been 'carefully managed?' He's had a lot of fights at lower levels to build his ring craft, strength, experience etc.

In Joshua's case they've actually been less cautious than they planned. Don't forget Joshua was relatively late turning pro. He only won the British title less than two years ago. Fury beating Klitschko and then self destructing forced them to bring their plans forward. A more carefully managed fighter would've had more fights under their belt before they went into the big league.

He’s supposed to be a unified champion.

He has 2 of the 4 recognised belts and a third meaningless one. He won't be undisputed until he takes out Parker and Wilder and arguably Fury if he makes a credible comeback.

Nobody cares about Parker. He’s struggled in every major fight he’s been in, including his sparring partner who took the fight at the last minute.

As I've said above, nobody over there may care, but properly marketed the fight will do good business in the UK. Parker holds a belt and the public like the idea of seeing Joshua going after them, regardless of the holders credentials.

And none of those other fighters are going to make Joshua any bigger in America. Which is what I thought was the goal.

The goal is surely to maximise Joshua's career, in earnings, respect, brand building etc. In the past that nearly always meant 'conquering America' but that's changed over the past few years. Klitschko etc showed there's a world beyond Vegas and Madison. I doubt that America is a 'must' for the Joshua camp, more like a 'nice to have'. If he unifies the belts, boxes in front of 90,000 gates for the rest of his career, makes $200m and retires unbeaten and with his faculties intact but never headlines in Vegas then I doubt he'll have many sleepless nights worrying about how he's rated in the US, great boxing nation that it undoubtedly is.

Everyone seems to like to point the finger at Hearn, the guy put his man in with Klitschko for his 19th fight.

Wilder fight will come! Deontay has clearly been told to start promoting it!

[Steven Mccowan]

Deontay Wilder really cranking up the heat on the UK boy, Joseph Parker seems to be really quiet ATM,, Alpha dog needs to stand up and growl or bark. I don't see any other dogs barking except Wilder

maybe because AJ and parkers promotional teams are working on a fight together. And wilders "team" is talking about a fight with AJ being in Vegas IF the fight happens and talking up on social media lol. A good promotional team goez a LONG way. This being just one small example.

Whatever you need to tell yourself there buddy.

LOL....You sound scared for AJ.......

[Eff Pandas]

Well yeah. Whoever wins it isn't likely to end in a way that'll give the loser a argument for an immediate rematch I bet.

But it's a business so I'd be surprised if neither side will strongly consider it or want it outright in the contract when we eventually get to that point.

[jonnyc420]

LOL....You sound scared for AJ.......

Not at all. AJ gonna embarrass him. I have no doubt about it. Wildher just isn't on AJ's level. You Wildher girls are reaching pretty far these days. He better keep his mind on Ortiz cuz I dont even see him winning that fight lol.

[N/A]

He won't be undisputed until he takes out Parker and Wilder and arguably Fury if he makes a credible comeback.

Undisputed is not an opinion. Either you hold all of the recognized titles or you don't. If AJ holds the WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO, then he's the undisputed champion. There's nothing arguable about Fury.

Wilder will get Knocked Out in UK.

If someone needs a rematch it will be him.

You know fans are clutching when they're leaning on how much Wilder is barking.

Parker doesn't need to say a word - he's got the fight signed.

Meanwhile, Wilder talks, talks and talks. Then Wilder goes home at the end of the day, having achieved nothing more than when we woke up that morning.
