Comments Thread For: Hearn: Povetkin Fight Toughest For Joshua Other Than Klitschko

[kafkod]

You know why it wasn't signed. If Wilder was a guy you liked, you'd argue he shouldn't sign an offer like that, as you did with GGG/Canelo.

You post Povetkin is a threat, but we both know that is just for show. Povetkin is a nothing. Posters do this when the fighter they like picks a weaker opponent, thereby depriving fans of the more preferred fight.

I get you are not going to criticize AJ/Hearn to the degree they should be. I am satisfied that in almost every corner of the boxing community he is getting blamed.

Just get this over with and get to the fight we really want.

I've already told you that I would have no problem with Wilder turning down a flat fee, though it was a much better offer than the one GGG got from Oscar - more money, the fight would have happened next, not next year, and Wilder, unlike GGG is not a PPV headline fighter himself.

But the facts are that he said he would accept the offer, that he didn't care about the money, and asked for a contract to be sent .. then folded when Hearn called his bluff.

I don't know how you can have the nerve to say something like "Povetkin is a nothing" then accuse me of not being objective .. wtf?

As for AJ getting criticism in every corner of the boxing community - that just isn't true. Maybe in the Lions Den Boxing Community - aka the PBC fanboy club - but who really gives a **** what those clowns say about anything?

Wake me up when they are ready to start paying to see the fights they claim to want so badly.

When people say 154-168 to you regarding GGG, you understand that he wasn't being literal but was just saying it for effect. You could do same with Wilder but are choosing not to. You said GGG shouldn't sign a flat fee offer and didn't criticize him when he didn't, but are saying Wilder should've and blaming him in part for the fight not happening.

Doesn't seem right or fair.

Povetkin got destroyed by Wlad, who AJ beat, and cheated before fighting Wilder when he was favored to beat him. My opinion of Povetkin relative to AJ is completely fair given the size difference and the fact that AJ is choosing to fight him instead of the most lucrative fight in the division.

Lennox, Fat Dan, plenty of others. I don't even know what Lion's Den is.

It is what it is. I just think it would be fair if you extended the same things to wilder you did ggg.

Russian as well as Chinese athletes have been known to be dirty for quite sometime. Kafod is doing a good job though donning those knee pads for his boy hero in a cape.

I'm not even a fan of Povetkin, you fool, just giving you the facts.

Luis Ortiz, who's **** you are sucking harder than a Dyson in this thread, has a PED offence record just bad as Povetkin's, but hasn't had anything like as much success, either amateur or pro.

Nothing you wrote there is worthy of a response. All I'm seeing is a steaming pile of biased crap, tbh.

[thack]

Hearn is right on this occasion Joshua needs development and maybe it will give his promoter and the snooker bod slightly more confidence to accept a Wilder fight and not show this great kid up.

You mean you don't have a valid rebuttal for anything I posted because I'm spot on.

It is illogical that anyone could kill ODH for the flat fee offer, say GGG shouldn't sign, then applaud Hearn for a flat fee offer by saying he called Wilder's bluff and blame wilder for not signing.

It is also illogical that after watching Povetkin/Wlad that you could think Povetkin will be tough for AJ at this point in his career. It is further illogical that you or anyone would think Hearn would put AJ in a risky fight if, as he claims, he is going to make the most lucrative fight in the division next.

Seriously go look at boxrec and compare the two's records Wilder was so unconfident at 20 odd fights he was fighting guys with no win in the last six at the same point.

Lol. They look no different than you and I only I rock a better watch than most of them and I’m not a fan of wearing your chains over your jumpers or even worse thick pitbull dog chains . Apart from Broner dressing like big bird from Sesame Street , US fighters are doing their thing. I ve heard enough about the tax evasion . You are a brother so when you are weak I’m here to support you to make you strong.😜 and vice versa of course

Lmao.. i don't rock a lot ot ***elry.. maybe a bracelet, earrings.. that's about it.. I don't like a lot of flash.

You idiots really don't get it do you?

If Haymon had been able to rustle up $50million for AJ against Wilder .. that would have been because of AJ!

If he actually had $50million to give anybody to fight Wilder, how come he could only bid $5million for Wilder vs Povetkin, and lost the purse bid to Ryabinsky?

Because Wilder already said that he wanted to go to Russia before the purse bid.. plus, WILDER was the a side. 75%

[trippers1]

I guess he was not small when wilder wanted to fight him.

Clown. Please dont get a job match making boxing fights. We'll have a line of oaps with zimmer frames squaring up to a line of in prime top of their game athletes....u arent eddie hearn are you?
