Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: I'll Fight Wilder Even If He Loses To Tyson Fury

[Fabes88]

Why do Joshua fans keep trying to sweep the $80M duck under the rug? Wilder tried to get Joshua in the ring, but a Mayweather level guarantee was not enough. Now he's being blamed for wanting what should have been standard literature (date and location), included in a low ball contract that was already disrespectful. It can't be said enough that Hearn gave Joseph Parker more than what he offered Wilder, while claiming to be serious about negotiations.

Wilder is being silly with his 50/50 demand (though that will be debatable soon), but let's not lose track of who made that negotiation go to heII. Hearn clearly had other plans, which is why he started his 4/13 talk so long ago.

Reason why it’s swept under the rug is because after that wilder agreed to terms. If team wilder can move past the 50m offer why can’t you. Fact is negotiations moved on from that, terms were agreed and wilder didn’t sign the contract.

Wilder didn’t like the fact there was no date or location now he has that. Wilder said he wasn’t happy with those terms which he already agreed to Hearn said he’d be willing to meet to hash something else out yet you’re still here whining and crying about an offer made 6 months ago like a little girl.

Wilder is 40-0 not sure what your talking about. He is the best heavyweight in Boxing right now. Maybe the best since Tyson

Did you not understand what he said? that 40-0 means nothing because at 22 fights wilder was still fighting guys with losing records. He won his first belt in his 32nd fight. He is the best fighter since Tyson Fury perhaps😂😂

He nearly got knocked out in his first real test. However , it’s all good I like your stubbornness

Won’t happen, Fury getting his hating self stopped

Also that infamous "fight" between Mayweather Jr. and JMM was one of the most shameful and embarrassing displays of abuse and unfair advantage in boxing history.

JMM was 2-3 divisions lighter, he was completely out of shape, fat compared to his normal condition two divisions below. To boot, Jr. comes to the weigh in overweight, and just pays his way to an even more abusive "fight." How convenient.

In spite of all that, being way, way bigger on the ring, being super-muscular and in shape compared to a pathetic JMM, that cowardly cheater still performed cowardly the whole fight, pedaling back, doing his habitual cheating tactics like using elbows illegally, clinching. Despite all that, JMM connected bunches of beautiful 3,4,5-punch combinations THAT DID HIT THEIR TARGET, very weakly but still beautifully executed but of course the sellout judges and Compubox never ever awarded JMM those connected punches.

To many commentators outside the US it was actually a close fight, not the blowout the sellout judges computed.

In spite of all that, all those Jr's deluded ****-riding fans admire that coward who fought like I mentioned before, a way, WAAAY smaller guy, in the worst shape of his life, but who evidently needed the biggest purse of his career at that moment. Had that fight occurred at JMM's true weight division at that point, which was two divisions under welterweight, meaning lightweight, I am pretty sure there was a huge chance that Jr. would have suffered the first loss in his career. Cheering for a TOTAL COWARD bullying a tiny guy is just pathetic, embarrassing. Those are most of Jr's fans, sadly. That abusive fight reminds me a lot of two of Canelo's cowardly fights with similar advantages, but at least unlike Jr, he did what he was supposed to do, knock out cold the two tiny guys, when he abusively and super-cowardly fought Josesito and Khan. But he failed miserably when he tried that with an A-class fighter in Cotto, in which case, the fight itself and the outcome as in biased judge cards, was pretty much a copy of JMM-Mayweather Jr.

Lololololololololololololol........ 3,4,5 punch combinations that did hit their target. I think the judges were trying to give the fighter that was retired for 2 years an even advantage. Imagine any fighter now taking 2 years off it’s suicide.

That fighter probably got knocked out in his next fight if he fought a more notable challenger in his weight class?

What's worse doe? A Pac fan jumping on Joshua's bandwagon, lmao. Pathetic!

Lololololol


50 cent verse was garbage he spoilt a good track up until he chose to spit. Rainbow rapper looks like a villain from Batman. He should pursue that career path if record sales start dwindling

I don't see why not, i think they should all fight each other. This era is thin, so they should all fight each other win or lose, put Ortiz, Whyte, Breazeale in the bracket too. Hopefully in 2/3 years time the new up and comers like Gorman, Yoka , DDD and a few others can bridge that gap for more competition at HW.

Maybe I am not negative enough for this site.

I think Joshua does want this fight and is in no way scared of Wilder. But I also think he sees himself as the Alpha dog and will wait on no one. He has gotten his mandatory out of the way and unified all but one title.

I think Wilder is 100% doing the best thing for himself, going after the lineal championship for whatever that is worth today. It raises his stature in England and helps his bargaining position as a champion and having the lineal recognition.

This is a mess, but it is easy to navigate. Let Joshua have his play date with Whyte. Let Wilder get the lineal championship from Fury. Both of the teams behind these two go to work on setting up the bare bone terms of a unification fight in the Summer of 2019, to be honored so long as both win and neither gets injured. Joshua should be treated as the "A" side, which I do not think Wilder cares even one little bit about so long as he gets a respectable portion of the gate. It will be the biggest ticket in town, for every possible marble out there in the HW division, and everyone gets what they wanted.

I mean, after April, there can be zero obstacles. Someone will look cowardly if it does not happen

No,no,no....... I’m not interested in watching Joshua vs Whyte 2. Whyte was 10 seconds from being stopped in his last fight and the entire fight was going his way. How the hell did that happen? Parker is not even a big puncher.

I admire Whyte heart but his poor balance doesn’t deserve to bless the Wembley canvas. Wembley is an iconic place.( ask any football fan)

I support AJ but time for him to stop leaving cryptic messages and just say I want to F#uck this Birdlegs up in April. Look into the lense and actually say it instead of kissing his teeth every time his name is mentioned

[Oshio]

It's a no-brainer. Both guys have to fight each other even when they lose their zeros. I really wish they could lose their zeros so that they will just fight

[doom_specialist]

Reason why it’s swept under the rug is because after that wilder agreed to terms. If team wilder can move past the 50m offer why can’t you. Fact is negotiations moved on from that, terms were agreed and wilder didn’t sign the contract.

Again, that should be standard on a fight contract. When details were requested, Hearn announced another fight before those details made it back to Finkel (Finkel made the request DAYS prior) . I like that you left that out so you could throw your childish insult. Hearn 2/2 on making fights he says he wants go away lol
