Ring Magazine Top Ten Heavyweights
(1) Joshua
(2) Wilder
(3) Povetkin
(4) Parker
(5) Ortiz
(6) Whyte
(7) Breazeale
(8) Miller
(9) Kownacki
(10) Fury
Joshua Has fought 5 of 9 top fighters in the division & that's not including Vlad Klits! Wilder has faced only one of the top ten heavyweights which was Ortiz! By the end of next year its possible you can add Wilder & Fury to that list to make it 7 of 9 for Joshua! So please tell me why people are claiming Joshua is afraid to fight Wilder? One guy has 20 pro fights while the other has 40 pro fights! How does the guy with 20 pro fights resume is 10x better than the guy with 40 pro fights? I know we live in a world that's full of hate but I recall those same so call boxing fans who's jump on Wilder's bandwagon was hating him 12 months ago! Everyone seems to be emotional when it comes to AJ/Wilder but if you sit your emotions to the side for a moment & check the facts, you will see there is no comparison when it comes to their careers! Men lie, women lie, numbers don't!
First, Joshua "overpaid" every named opponent before Wilder, but now he doesn't even offer a percentage, only a ridiculous flat fee
Second, Joshua asked for 50 million and when he got it he flat out refused. If you want to do something and gets 50 million plus a lot of exposure you do it
Third, Hearn sended a contract without date or venue, ridiculous
Fourth, I never hated on Wilder. Even more, since the beginning I've been saying that I believe that Joshua wanted the fight but Hearn is trying his best to avoid it, it seems that he convinced Joshua to forget about itComment

Maybe not ever if they can get away with it. Right now they are probably trying to wait for Wilder to get in Klitschko territory as far as age advantage. However Wilder started boxing rather late, and does not have the additional wear and tear on his body. Wilder is also a freak of nature who seems to be getting stronger and sharper with age.
This Big Baby fight is another farce Joshua's camp is running. Had heard about him, but was greatly disappointed and underwhelmed by this plodding lethargic fighter. I guess that's how they'll get Joshua hype and exposure on this side of the pond with little risk of his being exposed for the slightly better than average fighter he truly is. Face it, Joshua has looked like feces in his last two fights. I truly regretted wasting my time watching them.
I've seen comments About the quality of Wilders opponents, but in all fairness the quality of Joshua's opponents with the exception of a severely diminished Klitschko were pretty much substandard. Come on! Charles Martin? I can't fathom how he was even ranked in the top 100, let alone a top contender. With home town advantage, a ref that would probably let Joshua dictate the fight on his terms, judges who are possibly instructed to give Joshua rounds that maybe he didn't win, they still wanted no part of Deonte Wilder.Comment

After seeing this orchestrated event, I believe Hearn's plan is to fight Miller in New York in December or January to help Joshua's profile in the States before the Wembley fight in April.Comment
