Comments Thread For: Hearn: Can We Get Away With One More Before Wilder? Probably

[Rubber Ducky]

Fact is Hearn can likely fit in another fight during the summer before he takes on Wilder. Wilder really only fights 2 times per year, in the last 4 years he's fought only 2 fights per year for 3 of those years. So it's not likely Wilder will fight again until the autumn/winter anyway. If Joshua doesn't want to just sit around waiting for Wilder, why not sneak in a fight on US soil to help build the Wilder fight, it makes total business sense.

lol, did you just include Miller in that list as 'not there to be hit ?'.

All of the boxers you list have different styles. Miller is probably the one most made for AJ as he is indeed there to be hit, and would make AJ look great as it would just be a question of how much Miller could take - think Whyte/Browne.

The other three are different. Parker stayed on the back foot for pretty much the entire fight, occasionally jumping in to mix it up, enticing Joshua to commit so he could counter, but Joshua didn't oblige. Hence the rather boring fight as Joshua kept it under control for the entire 12.

Wilder wouldn't stay on the back foot and would go hunting, so it would be Joshua doing the countering. Completely different fight from Parker. If anything Joshua showed he could keep it under control vs Parker, and that would bode well against Wilder. Wilder makes a lot of mistakes and a cool head would maintain the defence while capitalising on the defensive mistakes Wilder makes, which are many.

Povetkin would be closer to a Parker fight as he fights in a similar way. I think Povetkin has declined though and is more open to getting hit than Parker (less movement), so Joshua will likely get the hits on Povetkin that he wasn't able to land on Parker.

Fury - dunno. Hard to call any Fury fight as he's so whacky, and no idea what shape he comes back in either.

Miller is a big in shape dude that can go 12 strong rounds so I cant put nothing past the dude. He'd probably be the heaviest boxer puncher AJ's faced. Thats if Miller aint scared to engage and negates Joshua's jab. Which he's shown he can do.

If Parker added more pressure the fight would've went alot differently Parker showed up imo and could've gotten a draw not saying AJ didn't edge it out. The ref wasn't allowing any inside game though so Parker was ****ed on his "go to the body" strategy hence the many close rounds and olympic style fight.
I admit AJ did use his jab to control most of the bout while also landing some straights to the body but I cant ignore what Parker did also. Parker landed the cleaner jabs and counters more than some people may think and did a good job keeping Joshua's combinations to a minimum and his signature pull your head uppercut was missing as well.

Wilder has the reach, speed, jab and foot speed to keep Joshua at bay. Not to mention Wilders counterpunching. He wasn't just swinging for the fences against Ortiz watch it again he literally counterpunched the counterpuncher then got him outta there.

Povetkin to me looks as if he has the right mindset to break Joshua down like he did Price. It may take longer but Povetkin would get Joshua out of there with calculated agression. Fury on the other just has to simply stay on the outside and box AJ. If Fury ain't in "Wladmir shape" though he would probably get ktfo thats just my take though.

Hey, remember when Wilder got in the ring and unified the division with Klitschko? And then when he unified another belt with Parker?

No you don't remember that because it didn't ****ing happen. Remember when he fought bum after bum after bum in ****town, Alabama? And then moved on to fighting some more bums? Before finally, after 40 ****ing fights, stepping it up against 63 year old Ortiz (and almost getting KTFO)? Yes, we all remember that.

One decent opponent in FORTY FIGHTS. What an absolute coward lmao

First of all Klitscho didn't want to fight Wilder at all and would have got slept if they did fight. Fuuck all the he say she say, Wilder has been calling Joshua hoe ass out every chance he's got.

Stop making excuses if Joshua is better call for the fight to be made and let's see. But WE all know Joshua and Hearn are straight bytch made, pussie who don't want that work.

If they wanted smoke you hear them talking about how they want this fight. Joshua is shook he knows he gets slept by Wilder. If they man up and make the Wilder fight put your money and account on the line to see if you really believe what you are saying.

I put money, and my account on the line Wilder would destroy Joshua if AJ grows some nuts and makes the fight. What's up?

[Raggamuffin]

No, I mean people can rant all they like on this forum, but the power is with AJ and Eddie in the HW division. They'll choose who to fight, the fifth belt will be there whenever he's ready.

This is a suspect ass, scared, cowardly ass answer lmao.

Hearn is so scared of this fight man

I actually hope Povetkin wins.
There goes Wilder's only big fight in smoke.
I don't think Povetkin would settle for being B side to Wilder.
I would laugh hard if DW would still want the loser in that fight.
