Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Joshua Changed His Tune About Fighting Wilder

[aboutfkntime]

This has gotta be the final nail in the coffin for AJ ballsuckers!

Lennox Lewis, the great UK lion who cleared his entire era and never ducked no MAN!

You AJ fan girls need to shut the *** up, dig in your pockets and pay some got damn respect to a living legend who gave the sport and the fans classic fights and fought nearly everyone!

AJ made the biggest duck in boxing history, i never heard of someone refusing to take a 50 million dollar offer and the worst part is that he DEMANDED it!

How can you refuse your own demand? How Sway? How can you explain that?

You strung along the fans of the sport for months and even YOUR own fans knowing the wholetime you never wanted to fight Deontay Wilder!

Femi or Antoinette Josephine is from now on he...I mean she should be called!

How can you be in fear of another fighter but yet YOUR a fighter!

Deontay Wilder IS the baddest man in boxing!

This is just plain sad

firstly, I agree.....

but my thoughts are slightly different

1) Hearn/Joshua are clearly avoiding that fight

2) Joshua is a fkn beast, and he WILL face Wilder when he is ready, I have no doubt about that..... I do not believe that Joshua fears any man, other than the healthy invigorating fear to which he is accustomed

3) Joshua/Hearn are ALL business at this point, especially with the super DANGEROUS Wilder..... which is smart, because with most of the fickle/ignorant observers in this era, you get ONE chance..... ONE!!

considering those points, the questions are.....

* should Joshua be blamed for what is likely a common-sense, and somewhat understandable decision/plan.....?

* should it affect his legacy at this point, and is it justification for fans to burn effigies of him at the stake?

the answers to those questions are actually more important/relevant than Lewis' comments were

* should Joshua be blamed for what is likely a common-sense, and somewhat understandable decision/plan.....?

A. Absolutely, who the fk else is there to blame? come on lol

the (his) fans should be needling Joshua..... and asking him whats up..... and they should be supportive of Wilder

Wilder made genuine attempts to fight the long-standing world #2 (Povetkin) long before Joshua did..... and Ortiz was a dangerous fight with little upside

Joshua is clearly to blame, and he should be held responsible

and NOPE, Hearn is not the boss..... and he never will be

* should it affect his legacy at this point, and is it justification for fans to burn effigies of him at the stake.....?

NO, of course not....., throwing Joshua under a bus would be silly, it is clearly obvious what they are doing

he should be blamed for avoiding that fight, no question.....

but they are OBVIOUSLY setting up that fight for the SHORT-TERM..... we will not see 5 years of "marination"..... it is obviously a smart business decision, and aside from what the 8-minute-attention-span (casual) fans say, the total potential appeal for that fight has not peaked as yet

we have waited much longer for much bigger fights

my thoughts.....

1) I will continue to support BOTH guys, as I usually do in these situations..... (fk off Golovkin fans lol, your boy bull****ted me/boxing for YEARS, even I have my limits)..... BOTH are terrific fighters who I enjoy watching.....

2) NO WAY can you hold Joshua over Wilder at this point..... I do not care how many titles Joshua has, I do not care how many fans Joshua has, and I do not care that he beat Klitschko..... Wilder is just as relevant at heavyweight, and no matter which way you swing that is close to a 50/50 fight

I will go further on that..... Wilder is actually MORE relevant than Joshua, because he wants that fight NOW

I will continue to needle AJ, and I will continue to ask him whats up..... like his other fans should be doing..... and until that fight happens, I will consider Wilder the #1 heavyweight on the planet..... simply because, he wants that fight NOW

hard luck AJ, you know what to do about it

WAR Wilder..... WAR Joshua !!

when it happens..... may the best man win !

[aboutfkntime]

If anyone here is disrespecting the opinion of the great Lennox Lewis I will lose my s*** I can't bare to read the comments, but like he said, when the fighters want it, it happens. Lennox fought them all and was the best of the generation he knows what's up!

good call !

[STREET CLEANER]

Lennox fought who ever was the name in the HW. Even if he lost he would come back.

Basically what he is saying that if AJ really wanted the fight he could had pushed for it.

[allenfred]

No need for Wilder and Joshua to meet NOW

Ali vs Frazier took years to come off. Lennox and Tyson took time past their primes to meet. Bowe and Lennox never met. Wlad and Lennox never fought. Tyson and Bowe never fought. Boxers fight for money and delay the huge wars they could lose.

[juggernaut666]

People like u keep saying he is offered his biggest payday and 4 belts. It’s not about money at this point. The belts the money doesn’t matter now it’s about seeing who is the best hw. That man agreed to take a flat fee of 15mil. It’s clearly not money or the belts that’s on wilder mind. Now on the other hand aj 🤔 money and all the belts only matters but that pond ends somewhere

Its NOT about money yet Wilder clawed for THREE Million more , actually 2.5 for 3 months ?


Its not about money but CRIED over 12.5 Million ?

Its not about money yet just recently called 15 Million crack head money but hasnt even made over the 2 Million zone in 40 fights ? lol


Guess what ?

Wilder fell in the pond bc if hes crying about a rematch claus it means hes NOT expecting to win and CAUSE a rematch !

[champion4ever]

It’s not about saying anything negative or postive, why are you guys so fixated about one side getting all the blame? It takes two to tango... and Lewis pointed that out in his tweet.

Great headline doe.

Well what can you do when one side holds all the cards as the other side agrees to all of its terms and demands? Absolutely nothing! You are at the mercy of the side with more leverage. Lennox Lewis was right. AJ had this super mega fight by the balls but changed his tune. Deontay did everything in his power to conceivably make this fight happen by making several concessions but in the end it takes two to fight and Joshua just didn't want that work.

[champion4ever]

The above title of this thread sums up Lennox Lewis' sentiments both beautifully and perfectly pertaining to this potential bout between Joshua and Wilder. Which is Lennox Lewis: "Joshua Changed His Tune About Fighting Wilder". That is about as unambiguous of a statement as one can give on any particular subject. However of course the spin-meisters are going to attempt to revise that statement as much as possible in order to suit their agenda as they already have.

Yah make the ppl who work for you make the fights that are meaningful. Wish that trend would start spreading in boxing

Ali Fraser delay had no comparison to the nonsense these Cats are laying on us...

Ali was not available due to legal problems...These
Dudes are both available Now...!
