Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua 'Very Likely' To Fight Wilder or Povetkin Next

[Little Mac 91]

Hearn recruited Povetkin to sabotage a Joshua-Wilder unification dey scurred beyond comprehension when Joshua goes to sleep he looks under the bed for Deontay Wilder and leaves the hallway lit with his bedroom door slightly open

Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller is somewhere feeling real tight right now! Should've stayed with PBC! I still think if Miller wins, and Joshua goes with Povetkin (which would play well in Brooklyn), then Wilder should fight Miller this summer! Barclay's would be lit for that! Big Baby, let's get it!

I keep saying Hearn REALLLLLLY doesn't want Joshua vs Wilder to happen. Cuz Povetkin can upset his guy & f#ck up his money nicely if they play around too much here.

Speaking of risky business, if AJ fights Povetkin, how would you feel about Wilder vs. Miller?

How I feel. So long as Povetkin is clean he is a legit HW and no easy out.

Honestly, if Povetkin, and Wilder is Joshua's next two after unifying with Parker than I can't see where anyone could criticize him anymore, especially if he survives them all.

Yes, I'd agree on that, even though I really would like to see joshua-wilder next.

Povetkin will be first.

I think Povetkin is starting to look his age now too. Hopefully he has one big performance left in him.

TOTALLY NOT surprised that this greedy "promoter" is all in, no matter what to keep his goose laying those golden eggs! The high tech Robot will once again follow thru because as Barry Hearn advised him referring to Wilder,..."you may want to DUCK Deontay Wilder for a little while - he's STRONG!"........Barry keepin' it real......this "little while" should last into 2019 though.

[TheBigLug]

it would make sense to fight povetkin first and then wilder can happen later on down the line, theres no rush.

Never understood this attitude from fans. We're not making money out of it, we're the ones funding the sport.

Fans should always demand the best fight is made next if there's no excuse why it can't happen, neither guy is tied up etc..

It's fans just accepting what they're given that allow fights to not happen. If the fighters or promoters feel no pressure to make a dangerous fight, they won't.

I honestly don't care about any fight per se at HW that doesn't involve Joshua, Wilder & probably soon Fury unless he looks like complete ass in his comeback although in fairness people used to think he looked bad previously to, but I say that cat had skills so we'll see with him.

But if you mean do I think Big Baby can potentially beat Wilder...yea I do. I think Big Baby can potentially beat both of these dudes. I don't think either of these dudes are unbeatable.

It's a simple formula: Joshua + Wilder = money and fame

There's a void now without GGG-Canelo. Why not jump into that and capitalize on the hunger for a big fight? This is starting to feel like Juanma-Gamboa, where they waited too long and both dudes got exposed.

It's simple....
