Comments Thread For: Haye Expects Joshua To Take Easier Fight Next - Not Wilder

[5000boxing]

All the name calling is suspect.. the broze bomber is the real boogeyman. Yawl keyboard warriors call him names when in truth nobody wants to be in the ring with either "birdlegs" "Beyonce wildher" or windmills" question for all you haters and gamers out there.. have you ever been hit in the face by a windmill? Probably not.. ok, gamers.. Have you ever played mike tyson punchout? When lil mac (Joshua) is tired or hurt (pink).. try to dodge supermacho mans (wilder) windmills.. lol. Luis ortiz is sandman.. and would probably stop most of the top heavyweights.

I agree and I've already stated before that the fight won't take place till next year. But just for the money they will make more if they fight next year. it's ****** how it works but that's what they are trying to pull. Just if one lost like Manny it could be 3 years to get that fight.

80

80 Joshua vs 20 Wilder. Rematch if Wilder wins. More to Wilder of course.

If Joshua pulls a Keith “ Getback Year” Thurman and takes an easy fight to avoid Wilder he will get creamed in the Press.
If that happens I want Wilder to fight Fury Or Haye if he wins.

Hearns banking on the Fury situation playing into his hands and getting all the money in house and making Wilder obsolete at least until its time to cash in fully on Joshua

you know hearn believes he can still sell wilder vs joshua even after AJ has taken a loss "everyone wanted to see this fight years ago and now they can!"

Or any days... Even if you go way back to the golden era of boxing you'll find that meaningful fights against top ranked contenders were frequently interspersed with easier match ups.

Boxing is both a sport and business. Promoters and managers are looking to balance risk against reward. Talk of legacy or belts is great, but it's always balanced against that risk reward equation.

I think if Joshua beats Parker haymon and hearn will talk but they won't reach an agreement. AJ will take the long trailed Miller fight and wilder will take an easy fight, maybe brezeale. Each will blame the other for talks failing, there will be talk of ducking etc. A pantomime hiding the underlying business case for building the fight CV and attracting the mainstream US audience and the Ppv riches that follow in their wake.

Wilder fans will be aggrieved and in their righteous indignation will somehow forget the path which wilder and haymon have taken to reach this point. A path which has sought to remove genuine risk at each and every point.

So it goes.

Aj fan boy already making excuses for the BBC God to duck wilder
