Comments Thread For: Wilder: I'm a Traveling King, Joshua Don't Travel - Is He Worried?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Americans don't seem to realise that travelling from one side of a country to the other doesn't count. You're still in America. Travelling, in boxing, generally means leaving your country. I've heard moronic boxers try to compare travelling from East coast to West coast to travelling from Europe to America. It isn't the same. It is in fact a cop out.

100% agree. It’s like a Englishman traveling to Ireland.

wilder should focus on his next opponent ortiz, he seems obsessed with joshua.

wouldn't you be? He's likely just looking at this as a tune up for his big unification match. Ortiz looks like he's pushing 55 and looked pretty slow his last few matches. I know power is the last thing a fighter loses, but I don't see Wilder losing.

Jesus, it's about skill and competition level. You can tell when a CLOWN is a fan of a specific boxer and not boxing itself. Go back to sleep.

Shut up chump

Yea. Let's not forget AJ has travelled well out of his country, to Scotland and Wales!

i think he will win too, but in the hw division one punch changes everything. look what happened to lewis when he underrated his opponents.

Brilliant assessment!

****** assessment

No need to travel when you sell 80k tickets every time u fight!

Would you consider a fighter who lived in Vancouver Canada who fought someone in Seattle WA to be a travelling fighter?

Well they're crossing a country border, so yes. It is, like you say, a similar distance for AJ to get to Cardiff. AJ has also fought all over his home country, not just in his hometown. To Americans it means nothing because the distances seem small. But Wilder fighting in Brooklyn is no different than AJ fighting in Newcastle.

Please make this fight so we can have all these fraud fake boxing fans shut up once and for all. AJ has been called out, AJ hasn’t called Wilder out. Hearn is bringing up percentages and other excuses and keeps fighting bums. Next it will be, Oh, we’re with HBO now, we have network problems, can’t to do the fight. EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES!!!
