Comments Thread For: Froch: I Just Don't Understand Why Joshua Disregards Wilder

[1hourRun]

Only a ****** American would care about comparing two completely different Buisnesss.CBS/Showtime operate in America and Sky operate in Europe and the most money being made in the UK.They have no correlation.In terms of Boxing, HBO would be the top, Showtime are only relevant because of Mayweather signing.

Ok buddy I can conclude that you don't follow with whats going on with boxing in 2018.

When Froch did fight the best in Andre Ward....you see what happened...Anytime he hears the 2 words Andre Ward he goes into mental mode.He got humbled and outclassed by Andre and couldnt bear a rematch.Joshua is being much more cuter with Wilder.Facing him at the right time...

so what if he lost to ward, look at the guys career, he smashed it

AJ will duck wilder, just watch and see

Atleast Froch has the balls to fight Ward even though he lost. I think AJ will beat Wilder but it's true he seem to distance himself to a Wilder unification. It is evident that Wilder wanted it more. But again i do believe AJ will beat Wilder once AJ will have the balls to fight him

Back to point number 2 takam satisfied his manadatory requirement. So he may not have been the mandatory challenger pulev was but the takam fight was seen as a mandatory as he doesn’t have to make another defence for a year.

3. Who do you know who has back to back unification fights. To me it’s not realistic to expect 3 out of his last 4 fights to be unifications but we will see. The way I see it is the window for them to fight has been small, this is the first fight he could’ve fought wilder Realistically. I’m expecting the wba mandatory to be next but after that it should be wilder. Aj has constantly said wilder and I believe him. He’s done more in 20 fights than most fighters have done in their careers.

The Martin and Takam fights were crap fights and the world knows it. He's been involved in 1 unification fight and has one coming this Saturday. He picked up 3 belts in 1 sparring session (Martin) and 1 real fight (Klitschko). If he loses Saturday he's no better than Buster Douglas from an accomplishment perspective.

As you acknowledge, AJ could have fought Wilder in lieu of Parker. He didn't and the world knows why (it ain money). I'm not one to think a fighter should get into war after war after war. But there shouldn't be multiple "soft touches" in a row for a champion.

Sky-Sports is lucky to have genuine former world champion and future HOF commentating for this second rate platform, I'm surprised hes not working for a premier brand like Showtime or HBO.

Carl Froch is not a houseboy like Johny Nelson, Gaymaker and Tony Bellend ; Carl Froch is cut from a different cloth -- unlike those three euro-bums, the 'Cobra' traveled to America to face the elites -- real recognize real.

It must aggravate Carl working and watching these phony European domestic 'champions' think they are big-time when they never stepped up to the big league overseas, so hes got to vent and speak the truth once in a while.

Bellew can be more irritating than an itchy bumhole in a suit of armour but he's not sky sports houseboy.
He doesn't tow the line when it comes to backing the house fighter and usually gives his honest opinion.
He's more astute than I once thought, his pre fight prediction for groves v eubank was spot on.

[just the facts]

because Wilder is the biggest danger currently to him..thats why Froch.

Spot on, good point and nuff said.

At European level he did.But not World/Elite Level when he faced the best of his Division/Era.

just look at his resume and it speaks for it self

Hearn can make the fight if he wants too. It didn't take long to make the Parker fight, nor the Klitschko fight or the Charles Martin fight but Wilder......
