Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn: I Believe Joshua-Wilder Talks Will Start Next Week

[liverpool19]

This Wilder fight is a reminder to me of when everyone thought Tyson would beat Lewis. Even though most American's and the media knew Tyson was shot they hated Lewis so much they ignored the obvious. Wilder is only getting respect because he is being mentioned in the same breath as Joshua. I've watched Wilder since he beat Stiverne 1st time round and always was amazed at how hopeless he is in the ring. Most commentators and experts have the same view. Fury was so unimpressed he jumped in the ring and told Wilder he was a bum lol. Now that Joshua is taking all the risks to unify the division Wilder is all of a sudden the baddest man. He been calling out Joshua for years but never called out Parker who's had the WBO title for 2 years. Wilder gonna get smoked easy.

My mind has never rattled. Salute (and R.I.P.) Emmanuel Steward! Salute to Kronk's Gym! Detroit STAND UP! And oh yeah, Salute to Lennox and Violet (from NYC) Lewis:

February 7, 2004:

"Boxing's done so much for me," he said. "Now I'm retiring out of respect for the sport. It's time for the younger generation to make their own route to be champion of the world. The challenge is out there for them.

"I'm looking forward to seeing the next era of boxers perform - I'm probably going to wish I was in there because boxing is a sport I've done for most of my life. I will miss it. As my mother said, it's in my blood, and it will be for a long time, but it's time for someone to make his mark."

And with that he thanked "my adopted country, Canada, my native country, Jamaica, and the country I was born in, England" as well as his fans around the world, before signing off with: "Let the next era begin - thank you."

They should let this fight marinate. Next up I'd like to see Wilder-Povetkin and Joshua-Pulev. After that I'd like to see Wilder-Whyte and Joshua-Miller. Then set up Wilder-Joshua for Wembley in Summer 2019. No reason to rush this fight especially since neither guy is a seasoned vet yet.

What a dumb analogy and a convoluted post. Wilder is the real deal and Tyson was shot to ****. Wilder is getting respect because he's knocking everyone the **** out. And Fury didn't do anything original. He came to the fight lmao. Wilder isn't the baddest man, he's just a guy who wants to fight Joshua. And stop lying about Wilder not calling Parker out. How many ****en lies do you have to tell before someone points you to the truth Joshua **** blower?

At least Wilder’s fans want it. AJ’s fans spend more time talking about why the fight shouldn’t happen.

We all want it ....wilder just thbks he is the number 1 draw but he is not ...and it wasnt long ago when you was talking about mayweather being the cashcow so what he says go's so be consistent with your views.....the fight will happen but it will happen over here

[Bronx2245]

the country you was born in and country you won all your world titles in is where your from.....simples and i saw lenox fight in london , cardiff , nyc and las vegas ..accept it

So you're just gonna ignore Lennox's own words? Go kill yourself!

Wilder has said he’ll take 40% and go to the UK. As long as he gets 60% and the rematch is in the US, if he wins. That doesn’t sound like a guy that thinks he’s the top draw.

"He been calling out Joshua for years... "

He was fighting bums constantly....then he had his mandatory with povetkin which dragged on for ages...then he broke his hand and was laid up for 6 months lol....how the f@ck can call out a fighter when your fist is broken lol....you talk some f@ckin **** don't you gumbo
