Comments Thread For: Fury Says Joshua Should Take Wilder Deal, Stop Being Greedy

[Squ□redCircle34]

Edwards is getting sonned like a step child and AJ is the Heavyweight B!+ch Champ of the World!

They proved the funds were real and yet Edwards and Joshua still coming up with more excuses to stall! SMFH

AJ isn't a man of his word, said on camera that he'd take that horrible flat fee offer if he loses an there's a rematch but then had Hearns say no to that, then says on camera that if they can guarantee him 50 mill he'll sign the fight tomorrow and now that they have it he still is unsure of accepting the Wilder fight!

If your still blaming Wilder and his team for the fight not being signed then please just stop watching boxing and go watch NASCAR or professional bowling!

This sport has enough fan girls in it!

In my opinion theses guys have a right to be greedy, this is not 'playing' football.....let them all get every penny possible.

Just how much money does Joshua want to be knocked out???

Go read the history books to find a HW champion to unify as many titles in 21 fights. You’ll be surprised how few and the names we’re talking about, Ali had one title after 20 fights for e.g. Tyson’s career was on rocket fuel and he took 28 fights, Berbick was no better than Wlad or Parker. What ever way you slice it, he’s on a great trajectory and it sounds like your pinning all your hopes on Wilder...good luck with that

thats cuz there was only one title

Hearn questioned whether the undefeated puncher has the claimed funds and said the offer would not be taken seriously before he has seen a contract - but the two sides eventually got together and there was proof presented of the funds - although the deal is still far from done because Joshua and Hearn have a lot of questions they want answered.

they are ducking the fight

By greedy he means a pùssy

He looks like a monster but acts like a *****

Aj isn't even the best fighter in England. His only legitimate win is against a very young green parker.

You don't become a great by buying belts off Charles Martin and getting awarded Olympic gold medals even though he clearly lost the fight

Yeah his entire career has been one massive conspiracy to propel a Nigerian heritage Englishman to the top of the boxing world, because....hmmmm...because....hold on it just doesn't make sense?!

Charles Martin ****** as a champion and got beat. Simple as that. AJ doesn't get to pick who holds titles if some other d-head sticks coke and PEDs himself and loses his titles.

Amateur boxing is known for it's controversy, every year 100s of decisions are iffy because the judging is variable, he was probably given some home advantage but it was hardly a huge controversy, Cammarelle is a proven amateur and AJ was still pretty green and did enough to sneak the win. You'll get your chance to see if he's got the goods against Povetkin, who Cammarelle lost to many times as an amateur.

Not the best in UK?? Cos, what the fat fella who dresses as batman has such an illustrious record. Go watch Fury's last 5 fights (his back catalogue of C and B graders) including the 'incredible' win over Wlad. The guy is utterly boring to watch and sell's his skills way more than he delivers them, Wilder would beat him and so would Parker, Povetkin and AJ.

I haven't got a clue who's holding fight up and they both will be paid well.
But to me it seems they both think this is their last fight and opportunity to make money.
Let's be realistic Josh expects to fight for another 12 years. Wilder will not be his last superfight.
He will make good money. Shouldn't be expecting such big money now. These 2 are new kids on b lo ck. Josh will be bigger superstar in 5 years time and will be commanding more money.
So fury has a point

thats cuz there was only one title

WBA - 1967
WBC - 1963
IBF - 1983
WBO - 1988
IBO - 1988

Name all the HW's that held WBA, IBF and WBO titles together in 21 fights or less for the last 30 years (since it's been possible)....? Now try again for WBA/IBF...? How about just holding WBA/WBC/IBF HW title in 16 fights or less?

Any way you cut it, it's an impressive stat, even if you hate him, the stat is in the history books.

The thing the haters need to understand, is that statistically, if he beats Wilder and retains against anyone ranked for 3 or more fights he goes down in history as one of the most successful HW of all time...yep...how's that feeling haters? stomachs turning? LOL

It's pretty obvious they don't feel confident beating Wilder.
