the money wilder makes is irrelevant. What does that have to do with anything?

Are you a clown or what?
Tell that to Mayweather and his fanboys.

ok so kno point and you don’t answer one question from my earlier post . It’s ok most Aj fans don’t have a real good defense either . Aj is on the outside looking in while wilder first fits fury in one of the most anticipated HW matchups ina long time.

All roads lead to Anthony Joshua doe.
The winner of the Wilder/Fury circus will still have to face the King.

if Hearn let’s Aj fight and the winner of wilder fury will have a lot more say now in their financial cut.

All these.guys talk about is Joshua. It's getting embarrassing now

It’s true, but let’s face it, these aren’t unprovoked statements. Journos know how to get a sound bite by asking Fury/Wilder about AJ and no-one loves a sound bite more than a boxer.

I caught a few interviews with Wilder yesterday, he came across really well, can see fans in the U.K. warming to him.

But if Fury is in shape then I believe he might be in for a rude awakening come November / Decemeber.

We’ve seen lots of monster KO punchers come and go over the years, typically they all meet an elite level boxer with a decent chin at some point - and then struggle. Think of Juanma, Kovalev, Hamed, McClellan, Tua etc.

Wilder has the Ortiz win, but the eventual stoppage looked more like tiredness on Ortiz’s part than anything else to me. Wilder also had height, reach and youth on his side. Good win nevertheless, but it should be remembered that Ortiz lacks any elite level wins of his own - including at amateur level, so I still have question marks about his true level.

A fit Fury is a different prospect, taller, longer, than with solid fundamentals and an elite win over Klitschko (and to a lesser extent Chisora, which looks better with age).

I think Wilder would be in for a tough night. (All depending on Fury not being a shadow of his former self of course).

Good post. He comes across well when he’s not playing the fool. I like boxers being outlandish but only if it seems authentic whereas his persona is annoying.

When he’s off that ****, he’s a nice man.

I’m going to try and be neutral here but let me reminded you Aj asked for 50 million and wouldn’t accept the offer that he asked for . Why ? Team AJ thought it was all a stunt and wanted proof of funds , wilders team showed them the money was real , then team AJ wanted to know the location of the fight which would have been Vegas, then Hearn wanted to know what channel would carry the fight , then finally team Aj said no deal we want the fight in the U.K.. Why didn’t they say that in the beginning instead of misleading everyone into thinking the fight would happen. It also stalled time therefore forcing Aj to make his mandatory. The offer wilder accepted 15 million was also supposed to have a rematch clause and when Hearn sent the contract it didn’t stalling even more time. I think wilder got fed up with it and walked away out of frustration with the verbal agreement and the contract being different. Wilder won’t get 50-50 we all know that but can you tell me another HW in the history of this sport and a fight of this magnitude where one guy took a flat fee ? Wilder is fighting Fury now each guy will make big money and the winner will be recognized as the real HW champ . Aj is now at the moment on the outside looking in .

Didn’t they want the fight on BT sport? That probably put paid to it more than anything else. Wilder’s team wanted control of the whole affair (which is one things) but crucially, they were putting an offer together for AJ to breach his Skysports contract. Never happening.

Look at how incensed Wilder’s fans were with the prospect that he come off Showtime and fight on DAZN or whatever. Wilder didn’t even have a contract with Showtime, but AJ is tied into Sky. No way in hell Hearn’s letting him waltz to BT.

Serious question: How old ARE you?

These Wilderites keep making the date the issue.
Because it's very convenient eh?
Please tattoo it in your foreheads.
The rematch clause was the one Wilder and team made a big deal of, not the date.
Finkel admitted already they didn't respond in a timely manner
when he said he would’ve met the deadline had he been given one.
Povetkin is happening because these clowns were so unsure what they wanted to do.

That is a bunch of horse ****t and you know it. Get off it holy ****. You are beyond dense.
