Do people understand why Joshua is ducking Wilder now?

That right hand will land. And unlike 53 year old Klitschko who was coming off a 5 year layoff Wilder would jump on him. Klitschko was being patient and trying to land left hooks instead of putting it all on the line. Wilder would kill him. I promise you Wilder will knock Joshua the **** out if the fight happens. Hearn wants Wilder to fight 5 times in England and sign with him before it happens though.

Bytch Gtfo of here.

Because Wilder was being outboxed and would have lost if Ortiz didn't gas?

[KingHippo]

Joshua has no chance. He's just as slow as Ortiz, without the counter punching skills. He will never be able to close distance on him, has less power and a weaker chin. There's nothing Joshua can do that Ortiz can't. And lol about Ortiz's stamina, what about Joshua's???

Why do you exaggerate so much to make you point? Wlad wasn't 53 years old and he wasn't coming off a 5 year layoff. You seem to forget how close Wilder came to losing and getting KOed by the 38 year old Ortiz. Wilder looked very vulnerable. AJ is young and he is faster and hits harder than Ortiz. AJ has 100% KOs and he beat Molina so much quicker and easier than Wilder did. You can't promise a Wilder KO over AJ because you don't know who would win and are just wishing and hoping Wilder gets the win if they fight. If Wilder really wants to fight AJ he needs to lower his demand for a 50/50 split. AJ doesn't need Wilder to make huge money but Wilder does need AJ if he wants to make much more money than he makes now.

What makes you think that AJ has less power than Ortiz? Based on what?

Not sure how many threads we are going to create involving wilder, Joshua, Ortiz , lol. Getting silly now.

As mentioned many several before this fight, there is no evidence of Joshua ducking anyone.

Let’s put a few things in perspective.

Wilder is several years older than Joshua.

Wilder has had twice as many fights as Joshua.

Wilder has taken on arguably two decent fights (stiverne and Ortiz) in his career. Joshua has a number more, with everybody really Whyte onwards, barring Molina, reasonable tests (Martin for initial belt; Breazeale, klitschko, Takam, Parker).

Wilder has had no unification fights. Joshua will have had two unification fights (after Parker fight).

If we are all honest, we really don’t know what Wilder will do next? Will he fight a decent opponent? We hope so but his history doesn’t tell us he definitely will.

Again we don’t know who Joshua will take on next but you can probably narrow it down to : Wilder, Haye, Miller, Potvetkin or Whyte2 - all decent fights to differing levels.

If you want to claim Joshua is ducking you need to put it into perspective of wilder

i swear i watched a different fight to people last night lol. surely last night gave joshua even more confidence, ortiz almost got him out of there and would have done if it wasnt for an absolutely abysmal gas tank. and i mean abysmal, the fight basically ended cause he was knackered after one big barrage. wilder was stumbling round that ring like a drunkard and he hardly reacted intelligently when he was wobbled.

[Bobby Deez]

They scared af of Wilder. Longer, faster and OMG that power.

[siablo14]

They scared af of Wilder. Longer, faster and OMG that power.

Wilder better hurry up and cash in with a big fight with Joshua. We need to see him fighting other boxers in the top ten.
