Comments Thread For: Hearn: Deontay Wilder is Beatable, But Also Very Dangerous

[boxxsingh]

Fast Eddie is right about one thing...

Parker is AJ's biggest test.

He's not some 40 yr old who will gas late. If he gets AJ in trouble, not even the refs will be able to save him!

Parker is fundamentally sound, lightning quick with decent power, a GREAT chin, excellent stamina and only 25.

Throw in that he is from Samoan warrior stock and you have a recipe for a major upset, barring home cooked reffing.

That 40 year old would eat Parker alive fella. Still smoking that cheap expired crack?

Haha!

I'd go Diabetes.

Ironically, I wouldn't be surprised if Luis Ortiz was a type 2 diabetic. What with that rocketing blood pressure and relatively young age.

But yeah this fight has to be made. My money is actually Wilder now. Unless Joshua just takes him out of the there in a few rounds. The threat doesn't diminish with Wilder as the fight goes on but I think it does with AJ.

Joshua has the experience of surviving an onslaught as well. It's almost unheard of in HW boxing that someone wins by KO in Round 11.

Eddie finally realizing that half of 100-150M is better than 70% of nothing.

Good for him.

Klitschko was...

Coming off a boring ass loss and over a year of inactivity is worse. And he hasn't looked really good for years

I'm anything but an AJ nut-hugger, but saying that Klitschko hadn't looked good for years is bulli****. Your point about his inactivity stands, not your suggestion that he was shot by saying he hadn't looked good for years. He dominated Jennings (he lost one out of 12 rounds on the cards) and knocked out Pulev in his two fights prior to Fury (a fight which NO ONE really expected him to lose). He also looked very good against AJ which is why people say his legacy was improved even in defeat.

It's much more sensible to look at the Fury loss as an anomaly than just discredit him as an opponent because you like Wilder/don't like AJ.

People on either side of this argument talking about "Ortiz was old though" and "Klitschko was old though" are just getting irritating. Let's just give both AJ and Wilder credit for stepping up. The arguments aren't going to be settled until one of them gets stopped (preferably by the other one)

I'm gonna come to Japan and steal yours and Jhonnys PCP.

Lets see how tough you two are then.

Do it! Jhonny will gladly greet you! Just do it homie!

To be fair to you though, you were responding to someone who was saying some pretty idiotic ****

He knows AJ stands no chance of surviving since he begged AJ to face Ortiz but Ortiz was miles ahead of AJ as a boxer and AJ wanted none and begged Hearn to drop him from the stable can’t make this up

You just did doe.

Ortiz was AJ's WBA mando, so AJ would have had to fight him whether Hearn dropped Ortiz from the Matchroom stable or not.

If Ortiz had stayed with matchroom instead of signing with Haymon and going after Wilder, then getting popped for his blood pressure meds, he would have been next in line for AJ after Takam.

That was the worst decision Ortiz ever made. He turned his back on around $10million for a mandatory challenge against AJ and ended up being paid just $500k to fight Wilder instead.

"Both Wilder and Joshua are electric to watch, both punch very hard and both have shown signs of vulnerability." - Hearn

Look at that. Some objectivity from Hearn. The fans boys won't like that quote lol

Hearn and Sky Sports are working harder to sell an AJ/Wilder fight than anybody on Wilder's team!

They running scared doe .. they don't want that work ....

Coming off a boring ass loss and over a year of inactivity is worse. And he hasn't looked really good for years

Luis Ortiz had fought once against a journeyman in a 3 round job in the same timespan as Klitschko was out.

Ffs.

[sotgoda]

He’s been saying exactly this always. Nothing’s changed.

Guess we can agree to disagree. A promoter who thinks Parker is more difficult than Wilder. Who makes fun of Wilder's weight - not sure you and I are getting the same thing from his responses. It is entirely possible to glean different things from the same conversation.
