Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn Wants Joshua To Delay Wilder Fight, Explains Why

[Oshio]

Well, Barry has said it as it is. As a Joshua fan I think would do exactly as Barry adviced if I were in Joshua’s position. Following his developmental growth is key and boxing fans should not force him to leap when he should be walking

least he's keeping it trill

this is pathetic and boxing fans are defending it as if they are going to make money with aj lmaooooooooo

Respect to Barry for just being HONEST! Look regardless if AJ Fans want to admit it (I like AJ myself and Wilder is starting to earn more and more respect from me) this fight is extremely Dangerous and YES it could setback what they're trying to build up over in the UK

Barry and Eddie making big money off of AJ I'm sure which is leading to Massive Network Deals with Sky and DAZN and potential HBO next or whatever deal they're prepare to announce in a couple of days

Fans just need to be patient, we always end up getting the fight we want. I don't see AJ or Wilder going away anytime soon and the Heavyweight Division is not a deep one at all so both are probably 1 or 2 more fights away from running out of opponents and having no choice BUT TO FIGHT!

I sense some nervousness from a lot of you AJ Fans though, Wilder Power and Quickness concerns you it is OK to admit it, that doesn't make you any less of a Fan. What is WEAK though is when some of you guys trying to reverse it and put the blame on Wilder despite Barry telling us basically that YES they want him to wait on the Wilder fight. Respect to both fighters regardless, look forward to that Showdown when it does happen!

great post I can roll with this instead of all the lying and other madness posted by aj fans, respect and props to you sir!

More of the truth coming to light, delightful!

Notice the AJ fan girls saying Wilder scared and that he won't accept the fight still, LMAO!

You can't make this stuff up, Joshua gotta fight Wilder now, most people here in America think he's got some half stepping going on when it comes to Wilder but it was easy goings with everyone else!

they have zero shame this is crazy at least a few of them are keeping it real

It's a shame fighters are still hinging their legacy to an undefeated record. I do agree the fight will be bigger in one year, especially if each of them fights across the pond at least once before meeting. This will not be a margination that rots on the vine like May/Pac, in one year they will still each be in their prime and likely undefeated.

I wonder what the coward from Alabama is going to do after AJ is done beating him senseless wilder was always was in it for the money just waiting for the a side AJ to pay just a little of AJ precious time so wilder can cash out he’s Always been nothing more than a paper champ with a motor mouth

okay I understand but isn't wilder a windmill swinging bum, aj should be able to beat him easily right? he beat klits... and as a fan shouldn't you want to see the best fights possible? I understand business but why are fans now so interested in the business side of things. how exactly does that benefit you all?

AJ has better handlers and a actual promoter that makes the bigger difference. Deontay just reached his peak it took him longer to get there than AJ. Now if Deontay had Emmanuel Steward as his trainer for 10 years then i would agree with you.

He could have chased Glazkov, you telling me Charles Martin had better handlers? He couldn’t have done enough to fight Mansour? Come on man, he was fighting total bums, so he had zero profile.

It makes AJ’s rise to the top in 16 fights look even more impressive. Wilder only has himself to blame, simple as that, you get boxers on their 5th fight talking about titles and shooting for the stars, so they elevate the standard they fight progressively. Wilder got into a comfort zone and stayed there for 25 bum squad fights...yep at least 25! That’s more than AJs entire career.
