Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Skipped Fury Fight To Avoid 'Hard Questions'

[Laligalaliga]

You can say what you want but there's 3 big name heavyweights. two are willing to fight each other and one wants to fight a guy he already knocked out next.

That's all you need to know.

Hearn and AJ are just going to rake in money fighting old men and recycled opponents while taking minimal risks and avoiding the top fighters. Fair play to them if they can do it and earn a fortune but that's all it is.

Smiles..... Lemme remind you in case you forgot that the scared guy is the one sending contracts after contract.
He must be very scared I believe, right?

Nonsense!! WILDER is one of the realest sincere fighters in the game today. He doesn't cheat or lie and that's why his boxing peers respect him so much!

And that's why he couldn't sell out a small arena despite giving out free tickets.

Wilder is speaking the truth here because Anthony is not behaving like a champion that wants to fight. Why not let Wilder face you in the ring after your last fight? Why not be at Wilder vs fury? Why not give fair splits of proceeds? Why say you want to buy a condo in America to fight but then insist that you will only fight Wilder in Britain? Why AJ? WHY WHY WHY!?

Why doesn’t Wilder just put pen to paper sitting on his table with Shelly Winkle than avoid all this darn drama? Doesn’t Wilder want to be undisputed? If Wilder thinks AJ is scared why don’t Wilder call AJ’s bluff publicly? Except he is the chicken and wants no part. Mark my words, AJ takes Wilders soul if he steps up and signs the darn contract already!

I've noticed that when AJ is allowed to speak he contradicts everything Hearn says which I'm sure bugs Hearns and tells him to shut up. I remember when AJ said he would sign on the dotted line if offered 50 million and Hearn came out and said AJ doesn't sign any of his contracts, that Hearn is the one who signs them. Then AJ went quite for awhile. Sure Hearn had a talk with him after his comments this past Saturday.

After the $50 mil offer AJ went into hiding. When he did come out of hiding he told the fans to fight Wilder.

The only reason AJ is mentioning Wilder right now is because he knows Wilder & Fury are fighting again. I don't know why people are even taking his call out serious. Wilder & Fury have unfinished business and that's the fight everybody wants to see. AJ is clout chasing trying to ride Fury & Wilder wave. When he nor Wildee had a fight lined up Wilder was doing all the talking and AJ went into hiding.

oh lord just stop with that gentlemen's sport bs that aj is trying to 'uphold' gtfo aj just can't handle being confronted in front of live people or being confronted in front of any cameras. it's pretty obvious since you NEVER seve any interviews of AJ answering questions on his OWN (that means no eddie within 500 miles).

AJ is a gentleman, good role upstanding citizen to kids, intelligent and speaks with class. Wilder on the other hand speaks like a ****** rat, whispers like an idiot while making a point...not surprising coming from an Alabama hilly billy. If he wants to be undisputed he should take the 15-20m fight, sign the darn contract and first first in the UK, if he wins he becomes undisputed then play hard ball in second fight in the US...now I don’t know if someone who is scared to fight sends your highest biggest ever pay day which is more than he ever made in his entire career and also offers you a two way fight, if he feels the contract is shlt why don’t they publish it so we all know Hearn and AJ are cheap and are under pricing him? All this BS talk about coming to see Wilder fight is horse shlt! JUST SIGN THE DARN CONTRACT Beyoncé and forget the Fury fight, AJ is gonna take your soul if you ever man up! Wilder is a chicken!

JOSHUA will fight FURY any day of the week but is petrified scared of WILDER!!

Fury beats both on the same night with one hand, but glad to see you are so excited to see who wins between two fighters fighting for second place.

What 50m offer dingbat? The 24 hour window offer from BT sport? Am sure you are trolling cos if not then you must be some ignorant man who should never go into business because you are bound to get scammed, sued and ripped off... get educated mate or attend night school and move out of your mums basement!

Why does sitting ringside have anything to do with making a fight nowadays? It is just another bull**** topic to get people to try and pick sides about who is supposedly ducking who. Big fights don’t get made in that way, only circumstantial grudge matches like Haye vs Chisora.

[Marchegiano]

I don't blame Joshua for not attending that fight. It's the same reason why he didn't want Deontay attending his Joseph Parker fight. He feared it may be trouble because Wilder was intending on entering the ring after the fight to provoke a confrontation with him. After all he is a gentleman. Therefore I'll give him a pass.

Moreover, AJ would have been on very hostile territory. You already had at least two of the top three heavyweights in the world fighting each other and both would have tried to provoke a confrontation with him; Where it could have possibly turned physical and a melee would have ensued.

Somebody could have gotten hurt. So I think he made a wise decision to not attend the fight the Wilder/Fury fight.

Gentleman Joshua has a good ring to it. Like Jeffries or Jackson.

Wilder clearly wants to cash out big time, if he earns 2.5m per fight, how much does big daddy’s haymon get as his cut? Then Shelly winkle, then that sleaze ball Lou Dibella? Then it remains his numerous managers who would want a take on the winnings...fighting AJ by putting Pen to paper makes every one happy but leaves Wilder knocked the F out!
