Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua is Not Worldwide, Nobody Knows His Name in U.S.

[Steven Mccowan]

Wilder has defended his world championship on free network TV multiple times, garnering millions of viewers.

Wilder stars in a very popular cable TV reality show.

Wilder is clearly far more well known in this country than AJ is. Just as AJ is far more well known in his country.

The idea that nobody knows Wilder in the US is pretty silly considering his history as a strong ratings draw. Wilder's knockout of Stiverne went viral and helped make him far more well known as well.

What tv show you speak of? I dont watch tv much and may check it out. I loved his youtube vid taking the one chip challenge haha. I think he a cool guy, funny and likes to have good time. He my favorite hw in a while. I kinda get turned off by these robotic guys who do anx say boring **** they told to say. Wilder has cool magneticism about him and will be good for boxing so i would love to see him get more opportunity to show off his personality as well as ko's

I don't care about Wilder-Whyte or where it is at. Hearn said what you just did and Wilder said okay, put AJ next in the contract and we have a deal. Then came talk about Miller.

I want to see the best fight the best. Miller and Takam are not the best. When asked about Wilder AJ brings up Miller, Takam, Whyte, Parker, etc. etc.

AJ wants to fight Wilder as much as Thurman wants to fight Spence.

Your not understanding Business mate.Why have the fight now,when it can be bigger and generate more money in a couple of fights times ?? Whyte is garbage just like Miller,so AJ and Wilder should be able to show how good they are.Funny thing is though if Wilder does fight Whyte,it would be his second best opponent after Ortiz.Sums up Deontay,a AJ Leftover will be his second best oppo he has faced

[Tygshsu]

He has tried to fight Wlad, Fury, Parker, AJ, Povetkin, and Ortiz.

Wilder is the most avoided man in boxing. He is the modern day heavyweight version of Paul Williams. No one will fight him; everyone is scared.

No one denies that AJ and Wilder are the two best hw's by far. Yet for some reason AJ's fans don't want him to dare to be great. If AJ ever grows a pair, Wilder will go do to AJ what Spence did to Brook.

Did you see that fight? A yankee breaking the face of a Brit! lmao. AJ saw that and said he doesn't want that to happen to him, so he talks about Miller and won't even mention the name Wilder.

On your last Paragraph,dont worry AJ is not coming down from Weight,and he is not weightcut.Remember AJ is a Heavyweight so weight wont be a issue in this fight as it was with Brook-Spence.Spence has Americans fooled,look at how he waited for Golvokin to do the damage to Brook first,then fought him.Hiding behind Golvokin's skirt.Even then took 11 rounds to beat a drained,weight cut Brook.Imagine if Brook hadn't faced GGG,and fought Spence,Yeah dont imagine it ???Then look who Errol fought after Lamont Peterson,the drugged up,old hasbeen DC Boy.But he gets universal praise.LOL

"Over here in America they don't even know his name. They just know him as a big guy from England. That's fact."

Oxymoron at its finest!

I always remember Jimmy Lennox Jr's Voice 'That Big Man From London,England' you saw what Big Lennox done to all those Americans in that Era,that no-one even mentions him.Joshua will do the same,but once Wilder gets taken out,their wont be anymore super fights to look forward to in the HW Divison.Joshua and Wilder have brought the HW Divison back to life which they deserve credit for

Whyte is AJ's second toughest opponent to date. That is funny. I guess that sums up AJ's opposition.

[Zaroku]

I know his name puto..
Just whoop p on him.. Stop selling bull ****
Let the best man win..
Whip his azz if you can.

Wouldn't the most logical thing be to compare their most recent fights?

Joshua's most recent fight on Showtime did 350,000 while Wilder's did 900,000.

So no, *you lie* because the numbers clearly show that Wilder is more popular in the US, as he should be. That's not a criticism of AJ. AJ is far more popular in his home country than Wilder is in his home country. AJ is the much bigger star worldwide.

So why do you feel the need to blatantly lie about which fighter is more popular in the US?

Haha you are full of shyt how pathetic of you to use ****** excuses instead of answering. You fool are nothing else than deluded hater and little useless Windmill fangirl

[Tygshsu]

Whyte is AJ's second toughest opponent to date. That is funny. I guess that sums up AJ's opposition.

But he still got Klitschko on his record.If you put Ortiz v Klitschko,Wlad would beat the **** out of ortiz

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

lmfao this reminds me of this



and to be fair no one really knows wilder either. More people know joshua in his home country than people know wilder here in the states.

One guy has had the majority of his title defenses in a Barn in front of a few thousand in Hicksville, Alabama....the other fights in soccer stadiums in front of 100k!! HBO and Showtime actually had a bidding war last year for the US tv rights for one.....the other can't even sniff ppv and is the most Unpopular Multi-year Us champ EVER and was actually begging to b on the undercard of May- McGregor!! One is even in A UnderArmor commercial shown in the States....one makes the news by getting arrested for marijuana.....oh Yea Wilder - U the Man !! Keep begging for that bone!!
