Deontay 'Son of a Gun' Wilder

[5000boxing]

AJ knew he didn't want no smoke!!! All that.. "ko him in 3rds talk.. give me 50 million guarantee, and Ill take that fight tomorrow".. lies! Joshua smells of fear, piss and protein shakes! Lol.! I don’t want to hear no "I only have 21 fights" for two reasons.. 1. You're a unified champion 2. You claim wilder fought 40 bums! It's time for war!! US vs UK!!! Bomb squad! !!

Some laugh and mock Atlas but he don’t care he says what he believes and he believes AJ will be KO’d by Wilder! I agree.

But

I believe if you fight and beat the champ then you should line them up and watchem fall not pick over them like Mayweather did like a dang monkey at the zoo picking fleas sorting thru them!!

Joshua should fight Wilder next, get KO’d then take his 50 mill back to England and reread Churchill ‘s speech we will fight !! We will fight on the beaches etc..... WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER!!!!!!!

Well if you and Teddy atlas agree wilder will KO Joshua no need for the fight to take place...... Hey bro just a word of warning you know motions run high on this forum so when I see your profile picture of Pacquiao then I hear you addressing Mayweather then using the reference of monkeys ,my mind can’t help but wonder is this guy a racist? I know that is not the case so you have 24 hours to change your profile picture to either of the following..... Anthony Joshua, Wilder or Tyson Fury . Thank you for your cooperation and putting my mind at ease ✌��

Atlas is right wilder only fights bums and AJ is more known and more popular and is the a side no know who tha Alabama fraud is . Aj should ignore wilder he’s a joke of a champion

Correct, the plan is to wait but Eddie is all about appearances and social marketing so he needs to keep up the impression that they want the fight and are trying to negotiate. Notice how only Eddie and AJ are saying the fight is close to being made? It's so they can be the first to announce, "They're being unreasonable" and then move on to whatever fight they have planned.

Wilder has no money fights waiting. Fighting AJ is a no lose for him so of course he wants this. He knows better than to get ripped off though.

Spot on, exactly as I see it too.

what’s Aj perspective? He is the one who went on instagram and said pay me 50 million and I will sign the fight. Wilder ain’t running from whyte, he wants to unify . He went to Russia to fight potvetkin and we all know what happened with that . He said he was willing to travel to the UK for AJ so I doubt he fears whyte.

That's what surprises me. if AJ fights isn't going to be made, he will be fighting Breazele "The AJ's leftover". Why not fight Whyte for 3 times more than that, if he isn't afraid? Even if these shenanigans with WBC mandatory get on the way, Eddie offered Wilder so much to fight Whyte that Wilder would have plenty to pay Breazele the step aside money and promise him the next fight, bar unification with AJ.

If Wilder was using Whyte as a leverage card to get AJ, that was already called and didn't work. Just fight Whyte, who should be, btw, a legitimate WBC mandatory instead of Breazele. Whyte's opposition is notably higher than Breazele's and, again, he brings 3 times more money than Breazele. Why not fight him if AJ's fight does not materialize???

Everything doesn't need to marinate forever..........

AJ is going to make a guarantee $50 mil for one fight. He's a young fighter so whatever happens he can always bounce back and so can Wilder. You can either win, lose or draw so you have 2/3 of a chance not to lose in theory anyway. Get paid and let the chips fall where they may it's called "prize fighting."

The walls are closing in.. soon you will be tired of defending those pretenders.. nevertheless, u promised to match my bets aj vs wilder... just making sure we are still on. I will either be broke or doubled come post fight.. don't be a talker. Put that money behind your guy! I'm willing to risk it all on wilder! I want that smoke Noelanthony!!! You talk like a shark.. well now you got my attention buddy.. the attention of a Orca!

Lololololol ...fight night we are putting paws �� on your Champion... Admittedly Joshua should have kept his mouth shut he did this to himself so even if he wanted to back out( which he doesn’t) he can’t now.

As for me I’m as slippery and as dodgy as a Nigerian can be. ...... please store this post . I’m willing to bet you ANY AMOUNT YOU WANT . However if the fight is in Vegas I will have a cap of 5k.... Talk is cheap , if this fight is made and they fight in the U.K. I will post up my betting slip within a week and I promise you wannabe gamblers on here will be looking at me like Spence the boogeyman ����..... When I post my Betting slip and the amount so you see time ,date and I will scribble 5000 boxing so you know it’s my bet I will give you an opportunity to back out. I don’t want to take another brothers money unless it’s a ample amount I can’t refuse��

If you need to be kept away from another boxer, you shouldn’t be considered a world champion

The point that Teddy Atlas seems to also miss is that Deontay Wilder is also getting better with each with camp and fight.

Before he's got you really hurt, he's getting pretty darn dynamic with his lead hand (nasty jab/lead hook that stops you dead in your tracks), is far more defensively aware than folks give him credit for, and can control space better than he gets credit for. Can add that he's pretty darn effective to the body/on the inside when need be.

Wilder's never going to be the all-the-way textbook fighter, but he's about 3-4 camps away from maxing out on his skills and he's got an easy 4-5 years before he's body starts to fail him (late start to boxing, short amateur career, a heavyweight, consistently fit and trim, a few injuries but nothing to the legs, only one war on his ledger, etc

If Wilder is this dangerous now, imagine how much more dangerous he'd be with another few camps to refine his skills?
