Comments Thread For: Lou DiBella: Why Can't the Wilder-Joshua Showdown Happen Next?

[Robbie Barrett]

I've talked enough **** about Wilder for three posters here, but it's time to end the protective custody program for Joshua. These guys need to fight next. Anything else is bull****. You need to wake up and put the immature **** to rest.

It's fans claiming Joshua is ducking that need to grow up. Wilders team have never reached out to try and make the fight, Finkel confirmed it. Also these Wilder fans need to realise Wilder isn't a draw and if he asks for something ridiculous it won't get made.

Joshua is a Fake

No question Wilder has to be considered the best heavyweight out there today. While all these promoters sound like carney barkers it's pretty apparent that all the current champions and legitimate contenders are doing all they can to avoid Wilder. While Ortiz appeared to step up he felt he had to juice to be competitive against Wilder and got caught then you have Hearn avoiding Wilder by giving English fans the appearance he wants to make a match then he makes impossible demands to avoid an actual confrontation which shows how much confidence even he has in Joshua. No question Wilder has to be considered the best heavyweight out there today, fighting all comers, its not his fault the rest of the wanna be's refuse to fight him while having their promoters talk a lot of crap while having their fighters fight washed up 41 year old champions who already lost or fighting absolute nobodies to pad records. It's so bad now with fighters avoiding Wiloder that he's left having to give rematches to fighters he has already dominated in order to stay active. Joshua is a media generated fake

Because Wilder is trying to build the fight by fighting Breazeale next?

Why can't the Wilder-Joshua showdown happen next?

Maybe because Wilder has the same useless promoter as Danny Jacobs had when he spent nearly a year hanging around waiting for Tom Loeffler to give him more than his mandated split for a fight with GGG?

Why doesn't Wilder's promoter get his finger out of his arse and do his job, instead of bleating and complaining because Eddie Hearn isn't doing it for him?

Joshua fought Wlad

Wilder just fought a fat, inactive Stiverne for the second time... and before that his last 5 opponents were whom?

Wilder had several fights against yop guys that fell through due to juicing. Don't play dumb. Regardless of the past, it's time to settle things at the HW level. There's no sound argument against that. The financial argument doesn't hold water, especially for HWs. Losing creates more money for the big boys. Heavyweight drama sales like nothing else in boxing history. Just check the numbers. AJ can survive a loss with little concern financially.

This is false, Danny and Tom are actually really good friends and that fight happened when they wanted it to happen on both sides. If you go back and watch the GGG v. Wade tape you'll see Danny and Tom sitting next to each other (with Danny's son) discussing the fight with no intermediary. What we get in the press isn't reality most of the time. They knew exactly when they'd fight each other way before we did.

Is Lou DiBella aware that he is a promoter?

'Why can't this other foreign promoter offer us the fight?'

He sounds so small time.

Good question .. I just asked it myself before I saw this.

Wow, he actually can read lips ��.

You internet fan boys really need to get a life ��.

I might have actually smacked you if you said that comment in front of me.

So Danny Jacobs and Tom Loeffler made the GGG/Jacobs fight ... isn't that what I just said?

Danny has a promoter to make fights for him now ... a real promoter -the same one AJ has.

This is the massive issue. They aren't doing anything to make the fight.

Just waiting cap in hand for foreign promoter to make a big offer.

They are just releasing these soundbites to drum up value and interest. But ultimately it is so small time. The only one who does anything for Wilder is Wilder.

With about 9 months to make the fight - it is in the summer and it is at Wembley stadium. Wilder needs to get on his bike and start chasing down AJ wherever he is. Like Haye did with Wlad.
