Comments Thread For: Wilder: My Goal is To Unify - I'm The Baddest Man on The Planet

I think he KOs Joshua in 5 rounds. Joshua has that heavy handed clubbing power and I feel like he would have to land a barrage to get Wilder out of there. I would say his power is somewhat overrated. Wilder is considerably faster, quicker and only has to land a glancing blow to wobble/KO Joshua

I agree. Wilder IS the baddest man on the planet. AJ will duck him til' he's at least 41, however.

He demands 50/50 in front of the cameras to build up the fight.

His side would accept 40%.

Finkel revealed at the post fight presser that Hearn promised to send along some numbers and then never did.

Huh???? How does asking for 50/50 "build" up the fight??

To whom. Accountants?

You really do come out with some rubbish. That doesn't build the fight for anyone.

If you want the fight with AJ you should have a problem with the way Wilder is talking because that's the sticking point at this time. If Wilder is realistic, the fight gets made. But not if he sticks to his ****** demands.

Ortiz hasn't had power in his shots for a couple of years now. The shots he landed on Wilder weren't even hard, yet he had looking like a late night drunk. If AJ lands, he's knocking Wilder smooth out. He hits much harder than Ortiz did last night. Much harder.

Why do Joshua fans think that him selling out In The UK is impressive?
Boxing is a huge sport in the UK. It isn’t as popular here in the United States. That’s a matter of geography more than popularity.
If Wilder was British he would have crowds just as large if not larger.
I doubt he would anything if he fought those same bums he has been facing in Alabama or New York.
The only thing I will say is that Wilder has done himself a disservice by not having a promoter and fighting in Las Vegas.
He needs to go to Vegas to sell those big crowds.
I’m not impressed by Joshua’s drawing power. Every decent UK fighter does the same big crowds.
He can go on demanding 70 percent and fight bums but then we’ll all acknowledge him as a fraud. No matter how much money he makes.

That you are, Wilder. 40-0 (39 KOs), thats ****ing insane.... and to also know he has KNOCKED every opponent out. This man could go down in the history books as a true freak of nature. People appreciate legends more after time has passed and they are no longer active, I think that will be the case with Wilder.

It's got you talking about it. Every time he opens his mouth, the more outlandish he is, the more articles that are written. To the UK market, he needs to be the villain for this fight. AJ is the big British hero. Wilder needs to come across over confident, unreasonable, etc.

But in private, when Hearn and Finkel were supposed to go over numbers, Hearn chose to stall. Hearn is one of the best promoters in the world. He knows it would be a terrible business decision to rush into a Wilder fight.

It doesn't build the fight in any way. In fact, it just delays things. Everyone wants this fight soon, so Deontay better get his **** together and start making sense otherwise we'll be waiting months maybe years for this fight.

Plus he sounds like an idiot. I want to look forward to two fighters who really believe they can win, not some delusional idiot that makes people laugh at him. It's not a good look for him what so ever.

Wilder and legend won't ever appear in the same sentence other than the posts made by mad people... Like yourself.

Not Hearn.

And what Hearn wants trumps all. He has the A-side.
