Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Wilder Deserves 60-40 Split for Joshua Fight

That's arguably true, but the pompous Brits also have an exaggerated sense of self-importance and a false sense of superiority. As neither an American nor Brit, it's easy to see that they are both similarly arrogant. I anticipate that my assessment will upset some uptight Brits and Americans, so feel free to reply (retaliate) with your favorite insults about Canada. We're usually down-to-earth enough to brush-off insults from the mentally ill.

Joshua is the A-side, Wilder is the B-side,
but that's a cliche way of looking at the situation, and it's counter-productive for negotiating the fight. The A-side B-side reference comes from the antiquated record industry, and right now both sides are sounding like a broken record.

Brits have an exaggerated sense of self-importance and a false sense of superiority? You don't know us Brits very well then. You describe the Americans to a tee though.

Haha, you should reread what I posted. I said economy doesn't tell how connected you are to reality. I never said your economy was bad.

Your reading comprehension is ****.

“Your country can't have a lose grip on reality”

As are your writing skills. Public school?

Doesn't matter if it was boring or not, he still clearly beat the long time champ. Nothing Wilder has done comes even close. His resume has a long sorry list of bums on there.

There was no hugging going on. You should go and get an eye test. Seriously.

You're giving Fury a lot of credit for timidly doing just enough to get a victory in what turned-out to be among the worst fights in heavyweight title history. There was a time when you actually had to BEAT the champ to take his title. Fury tiptoed away with it like a burglar in the night. He did, however, make the fight look easy in comparison to Anthony Joshua's herculean effort against Klitschko.

We just saved the world from nuclear disaster in which you would be directly in range, wtf else do you consider success exactly? lol

Haha, North Korea wasn't going to do ****. But i'm sure you're going to pat yourselves on the back and exaggerate everything like you always do.

[Sid-Knee]

Wow......when you look at the sky is it blue? The whole fight was a utter disaster but don’t take my word for it

“Fury landed only 86 of 371 punches for a connect percentage of 23%, according to CompuBox. Klitschko was just as awful in connecting on only 52 of 231 punches for a connect percentage of 23 percent. In Wladimir’s prime of his career, he was capable of landing over 50 punches per round. To see him only landing 52 punches in a 12 round fight last night showed you pretty clearly how much the soon to be 40-year-old Wladimir has aged in the last two years.”

Klitschko would have lost to a bum that night....oh wait he did an overweight slob

Fury dethroned a long time champ but it was a disaster? You do know there have been many boring fights in history but the result still stands as a great accomplishment?

Fury wasn't/isn't a bum, nor was he overweight for the Wlad fight.

You really do come out with some crap, do you know that?

Oh, and have you given that other thread a swerve after I proved you wrong?

[Sid-Knee]

Here is a fun fact, did you know that the Hopkins/Calzaghe live gate generated more revenue than the Joshua/Klitschko live gate with only 14,000 people in attendance as compared to the Joshua/Klitschko live gate which had over 90,000 people in attendance? Also, did you know that California's GDP is greater than England's?

Erm, what is the point in this? You're just spouting rubbish now. I never disputed any of this.

Parkers pay was 13 million UK, you do the US dollar math

Hearn has rubbished these numbers. Parker actually got paid about 6 million. Stop getting your information from British newspapers because those figures are way overblown.

[Lemonhead_Jeff]

If Eddie Hearn had any real intention of negotiation a Joshua-Wilder fight
he would not have begun by intentionally mispronouncing Shelly Finkel's name in interviews & social media posts. That was completely obnoxious, immature, and counter-productive to negotiations. It shows how seriously Hearn took the situation, and more importantly, what kind of person he is.

[Sid-Knee]

Lennox is from the u.k.. so is bellow.. parker from Australia.. fury.. almost every fighter that's interviewed is picking wilder to win by KO.. including breazeale, ortiz, miller, molina, dubois, joyce, haye.. etc... lol. I Exposed yo ****** ass.. now be silent and repent hoe!

Show me where Lennox, Haye, Bellew predict Wilder wins by KO?

Fury is obviously going to pick Wilder because he's bitter towards Joshua.

Most of the others are American. So no, you exposed nothing. Keep trying though because you are one of my biggest sources of entertainment.

[Sid-Knee]

Oh wait but but Hearn and Joshua said they would take guaranteed 50 mil long before flat fee fiasco. Suffering from amnesia are we now?

Yeah, but Joshua wanted it in the UK so he couldn't have the money. The money was only there for a fight in the US.

Also, your post doesn't dispute Wilder refusing to sign a contract that he had agreed.
