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

[aboutfkntime]

I think the fight will happen. It may be a year away though. I would like it next but I doubt that is possible. I think both have 1 or 2 more fights. Joshua isn't ducking him. Klitschko, Takam & Parker are no gimmes & all 3 were top 10 fighters so to call him chicken is kind of lame. Same goes for Wilder as he just beat the boogeyman. I bet if Parker wins they will be forced to rematch Joshua immediately & i would be happy to do it if I was Parker. He could walk out of those 2 fights with a cool 25-30 million. Wilder will have to wait at least until the spring next year & he must keep winning too. The only way we will truly know if Joshua is avoiding Wilder is if Wilder loses. Let's see how quickly Hearn gets on the horn to unify with a new WBC. That will tell us all...

you're right..... and it's no big deal

they are clearly avoiding Wilder..... but it is more about taking FULL advantage of their position, and timing

Joshua will fight Wilder, I am sure of that

Wilder needs to make it so that Joshua NEEDS to fight him

also, the..... " Joshua/Hearn are focused on Parker " excuse..... does not work

not when they are talking incessantly about fighting Whyte/Fury

good things will come, in time

Joshua is a little touchy, he gets a bit sensitive with the press on occasion..... the British media will mention Wilder, and the brit fans will get sick of them recycling Whyte and local soft-touches..... it will happen

the brits are the best sporting fans in the world..... even Joshua supporters will eventually tell him to shht or get off the pot..... but right now I can see that fights like Parker/Fury are intriguing

it is understandable if Wilder is forced to take a back seat to Fury

This is the trith. Eddie and aj act abnormal period when it comes to Wilder. They are scared and eddie wants to convince the delusional british fans otherwise because they believe what eddie says.

how is froch jealous?

froch and aj are friends,
difference is froch always fought the best yet aj is ducking wilder

An A-side not accepting a 50/50 split is now considered ducking... ::

Back during the Mayweather v. Pac days - it was pricing yourself out... I guess the standards change depending on the fighters...

Wilder was scheduled to be at ringside, but he changed his mind after both Joshua, and the promoter Eddie Hearn, refused his request to enter the ring in the aftermath to do a face to face with Joshua.

Great article. 100% truth.

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.

There shouldn’t be but that didn’t stop wilder did it.

Sticks and stones snow flake. On your logic everyone must fight each other twice so should we start expecting all world title fights to have rematch clauses, funny how Parker doesn't have one, comparing this to insurance makes you the idiot.

Telling Wilder to stand up for himself by flying all the way to the UK when his trying to build a fight between him and AJ what do you want him to do force his way into the ring past security risking getting into trouble.

Calling me an idiot is like the pot calling the kettle black. Did I hurt your feelings snowflake.

You do know that fighters for years have rematch clauses when they are the A side when fighting in unifications and voluntary fights?

How long have you been a boxing fan for? All promoters do this. Deontay probably had one every time he fought someone with the WBC title other than a mandatory. It doesn't show someone is scared.

You Wilder fans are beyond crazy now. It's really getting out of hand.

Did you say this with a straight face?

Deontay has fought nothing but soft touches.

And no he couldn't have fought Wilder because Wilder until recently wanted 50% or no fight. Or have you forgotten that?

"Froch: I Just Don't Understand Why Joshua Disregards Wilder"

Simple: because he is afraid to death to get KO'd by Wilder and look pathetic. If an old Klitschko far from his peak could KD him and hurt him real bad, and a buffoon Fury made fun of Klitscho himself for 12 entire rounds (which proved Klitschko was way over the hill when he faced Joshua), just imagine what Wilder can do to Joshua.

Fear. Joshua fears Wilder. He is waiting for someone to hurt him and give him a run for his money, to finally face him, exactly like Canelo did to finally face GGG after he barely defeated Jacobs.

So you missed the Ortiz fight then when he hurt Wilder and gave him a run for his money?

You Wilder fans are beyond delusional. You'll spout any garbage won't you.

[Sid-Knee]

It's because he's afraid. He has seen this man's power. If Wlad could put him on the seat of his pants just imagine what a younger, hungrier Deontay Wilder would do to him. Wilder would have finsihed AJ in that sixth round. Hell Klitschko in all likelihood would have too but time had finally caught up to him.

And AJ would have finished Wilder when he was hurt against Ortiz. You know, when he was wobbling for about 2 rounds after getting hit with nothing punches?

At least Wlad could crack, unlike the overrated power of Ortiz. No weight behind his punches or snap either. Looked like he was throwing his punches under water.

Froch is asking the same thing the rest of the world wants to know. Not Wilder fans, just good old boxing fans.

WHY!?!
