Comments Thread For: Joshua: If Wilder Fight Doesn't Happen, I'll Happily Fight Fury

[Noelanthony]

You can't compare with Canelo though as Canelo couldn't earn anywhere near what he could make for a Golovkin fight - he would have to fight 7 or 8 Smiths to get the same amount

Joshua can cash in with every outing. Canelo needed Golovkin, Joshua doesn't need Wilder.

Sad fact is the paying public that fills the stadiums won't give him a hard time about not fighting Wilder as most have never heard of him, especially if we end up with a 2 year countdown to Fury, as Hearn will sell that heavily as Joshua going for the REAL champ.

And a Fury fight will pay a heap more than a Wilder fight too. Again, Joshua doesn't need Wilder to fill the coffers.

edit: Best move Wilder could make would be to set up home in the UK for a while and beat the likes of Whye and Chisora in spectacular fashion - then the UK public will wake up to who he is, and THEN they would be baying for Joshua to take him on.

We are well aware of Wilder and to be fair I thought that at one stage prior to him calling out Joshua I used to rock with him heavy. I still do but not against Joshua. He doesn’t need to set up shop in the U.K. to face Whyte because he already declined it. Why I don’t know because he would batter Whyte. Chisora gets beat by everyone so no one would care about that victory

Wilder should just sign the contract and let's see this fight

That’s to straight forward for clowns on here

They would prefer the fight doesn’t get signed so they have something to cry about

Boxingscene is the Home of the whiniest b**ches .

[OldTerry]

And if he doesn’t? Will you apologise for hurting my feelings?

Yes, but I was cruel to you for a reason.

Wilder is back to the 50/50 b-side duck move, so Fury probably does make the most sense next.

I guess Wilder will fight for $2 mil on Showtime.

How quickly we forget Joshua's whimpering that if the fans wanted him to fight Wilder they could forget it and fight Wilder themselves because he wasn't interested.

Fury has a long way to go before he looks convincing again.

[fernandtg]

fury played with wlad whereas joshua went life and death with him..regardless of what you think a prime fury would play with 90% of these heavyweights

He's isn't even close to prime, so this is irrelevant. IF he shows he still got it, then fine, make he fight. In the meantime, it's a cherry pick.

Today Fury has once again hinted at fighting Wilder in the U.S. Even went as far as to say "wait for the news". Fury apparently has a fight in August. I completely believe Wilder will fight his mando then fight fury after, in the first quarter of 2019.

[fernandtg]

No it’s not and not even close. No one in their right mind no matter how much more a payday is would sign such a one sided contract as a champion given the fact the fight would generate in excess of 100 million. So please save us the simple math garbage. Adults come to the table between two champions and render contracts under equitable terms

A 50/50 split is about as inequitable as a $15 million flat fee. Both are acting like clowns and showing no rush to fight each other.

70-30 is a pretty fair split, considering how much money each brings to the table.

Why is boxingscene continuing to give this coward press?

He'll fight literally everyone at heavyweight before he gets in the ring with Wilder, he'd prolly fight the cornermen before Wilder too!

Everyone keeps talking about how his resume speaks for itself, to me I'm not hearing much apart from Klitschko who was on a 2 year layoff coming off a lost and 42 years old!

AJ holding supremacy in the division and should be flame broiled roasted by boxingscene, where's the integrity?

[JWHardin]

Translated: Joshua would rather fight Fury than Wilder.

Why not Luis Ortiz? Oh thats right I forgot Hearn spent big bucks so Ortiz wouldnt be ranked by Anyone except the WBC so Joshua won't have to deal with him.
