Comments Thread For: Hearn: Madness To Do Joshua-Povetkin With Wilder Looming

[thack]

Oh how brave to fight Povetkin!

As if that is going to make us forget that these cowards walked away from $50 million and a chance to unify all the belts.

Your crass name makes me shudder .
I do agree with you...AJ. asked for it .Hearn talked him out of it.....re. we the built empire but Wilder is also not blameless.
Come here knock out AJ. take the rematch in usa and knock him out again.

In the words of one of your most famous actors 'I'm on the top of the world' ...D, is either hiding something or simply don't get it....I hope you do

Transparent Eddie stop it .AJ. has decided to go your route .AJ. should have never made the 50m comment .That just showed how they thought they could skip the danger and now E. is at it biggin up a fight that no one except the main steam muppets gives a flying f. about.

Wilder should have took their money , come over ko'd AJ. then done him again in the rematch. Instead he's worried about the officials....doesn't sound like he really believes the shyte he comes out with.

They are both to blame .....but D. well come off worst here...Check their bank accounts .

ALL about purses.....think otherwise your a fool!

One disappointed Englishman here!

Had D. down for the win......So it looks ...so did Eddie!

funny how people are giving AJ so much **** for fighting Povetkin.

don't get me wrong, this whole thing hasn't looked good for him, but why has Wilder never been interested in building his own fanbase and trying to unify at any other time?

he just wants the payday from Joshua!

Another geriatric boxer for the uk chump!

Ya.. I knew that he was going to duck, his mind set as a fighter is whack.. when AJ said he will fight wilder on his terms in 2020, I knew we wouldn't see that fight until 2020.. maybe 2021! The gold medalist.. with all the belts still needs all this time to face a guy they say is a bum that has fought nothing but bums! Smh

Perfect summation.

That last line is the clincher that smokes all those trying to downplay Wilder. "The gold medalist.. with all the belts still needs all this time to face a guy they say is a bum that has fought nothing but bums!" - I pointed this out a month ago. The one person who knows Wilder is no bum is Joshua their hero. Yet these knuckleheads keep showing how ignorant and classless they are. Joshua makes demands he hasn't made for any other fight ever ... but they wanna act like it is to fight a "bum". Truth is always in the pudding, and right in the face in this case.

Joshua is big and good. I'm not sure who wins (I'm pulling for Wilder of course), but AJ's team respects Wilder immensely as fighter. This is why they are trying to get EVERY advantage known to man for the fight.

Mouthy bs fans behaving like lil girls behind Joshua (no matter how you spell it ... you turn down 50 million, you either scared or it's a duck). Joshua could die in a car wreck next week ... talk about future earnings is bs when 50 million is on the table. I don't think there is another fighter in history who would find a reason to turn that down. Unbelieveable.

On to the next Wilder!

it takes one second to look at someones location. It's displayed right below Sonny Liston. You would have saved so much time and not looked like a complete ****ing ******.


Mate.

Check-mate!

Klitschko smashed Povetkin all over the ring. AJ will do the same thing but end Povetkin quicker than Klitschko did.

This is obviously promoter talk, but he's also correct. Povetkin is more than a live dog in the fight, he's a legitimate top5 hw. Sucks that he's getting up there in age.

It takes balls to make this fight. As an example, I'm a fan of Golovkin. But his team didn't want to risk the Canelo fight by fighting Derevyanchenko. And rightfully so.

But AJ is fighting povetkin, risking the big money fight w Wilder.
