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

[Bronx2245]

SWERVE! Lennox knows what's up! Lennox would've never turned down $50 million and 50% of total revenue, because Lennox knows that this was a total b*tch move! BIG UP CHAMP!

Mind you, I am not saying Wilder does not have fault either. But at this point who has more to prove and who wants to prove more?

This is also true cause if I were Wilder, I would have taken the fight, in the UK ...... for peanuts ....... and make the big bucks when I had all the belts.

Lewis saw and heard what happened, simple. All the mental contortions Hearn is going through are unnecessary. AJ will kick himself in the butt if something bad happens, like him getting slapped around on DIZZY for so much less money.

Lewis a very great boxer but also a very jealous arrogant person. Look at his disrespect to vitali at the end of the fight look at his interviews where he is asked who are the best heavyweights other than himself he answers with deflections and lame jokes. He wants to be the last great british heavyweight he wouldn't be able to stand the fact ppl will talk about AJ more than him.

The problem with that is hes USING M.Tyson as though HE made that fight when he wanted .

It took him 6 years to actually make that fight and hes blaming the guy who sent the AGREED contract ? lol

The Bowe fight didnt happen bc of Rock Newman .

I can assure you theres no Rock Newman around now .

Maybe Wilder should rewatch Bowes career as he took that L after avoiding Lewis bc just maybe Breazeale puts his lights out and he'll deserve it .

Wilder would be the biggest duck in HW history surpassing Bowe bc this guy is being offered FOUR belts AND over 7 times his highest pay .

What Lewis also convienently leaves out is in the 90's he was forced into a 15 /85 split yet is telling Joshua to make it happen ,but isnt getting on Wilder to sign the AGREED contract yet Lewis did ?

Sorry but Lewis as usual is wrong !

So this guy says Lewis is wrong but addresses nothing Lewis actually said. The typical attempt to discredit a person to discredit their opinion.

"I told my team and HBO to make it happen … end of story. I don’t want to hear about anything else!”

When you have a deadline to make a fight, you make offers and send contracts that facilitate getting the deal done. You don't put more effort into plan B. You don't prioritize a DAZN deal over making the fight. When you get offered the largest guarantee in history you figure out how to make it work with sponsors and such. Lastly, if you have a deadline you communicate it so there is ZERO confusion or question.

Lennox came to America and CONQUERED! Also avenged losses in impressive fashion he didn't run from them. Also was his OWN MAN, he SPOKE FOR HIMSELF! At one point after he destroyed the Heavyweight Division he even gave guys like Michael Grant and David Tua shots he didn't use no ***ing "Who Has He Fought" "He Needs To Raise His Profile" "Michael Grant Fight Needs To Marinate" BULL**** Excuses that fighters, promoters an their fans use today.

Even his defeats Lennox would seek revenge and destroy his opponents in rematches like McCall and Rahman

[SUBZER0ED]

Yes AJ said it in a recent interview and also said he's going to run his career the way he wants and that he's not going to be rushed into a fight. That's where Lennox got it from, it's on YouTube.

Wow, strange and disappointing. Then why present a contract to Wilder?

[Curt Henning]

AJ is the shame of a nation!

wilder has him shook...wilder is in his head! already taken rounds 1,2 and 3 before april!

[BlakBread904]

Barry Hearn said what was gonna happen, months ago. Aj/Wilder not for 2018. None of this is shocker, at least if you can walk and chew gum at the same time
