Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Joshua Does Not Want Wilder or Fury Right Now

[texasboi15]

if joshua truly wanted the wilder fight he would have being in LA for Wilder vs Fury. instead he decides to go to whyte's fight and coregoraphed an entrance into the ring at the end of the fight.

Green K this man.

It's hilarious reading all of the butt hurt comments regarding LL's statement.

Now he will face the fearsome Whyte, who was losing to a recycled gatekeeper before he gassed and Whyte got the KO. Mega fight in the UK for the casual fans there.

BWaHaahaHA!!

Joshua fans can’t accept things because we hear ignorance like “he’s avoided the big guns” when he has the best resume of any active heavyweight. Klitchko, povetkin and Parker were all world champions, breazle is the current wbc mandatory, Whyte is likely to be the wbo so that’s 5 fighters you can count as top heavyweights yet by the tripe on here you’d think he was defending his title against the likes of arreola and Washington.

Also he’s not “just saying” he wants wilder. His team are sending out offers and trying to make meetings to get the fight done. Honestly what more do you want from him?

For Wilder to say he doesn’t want to fight AJ next he wants to fight Fury.( by the way immediately after the fight Wilder said that he wanted to be undisputed one face, one name and all now he is contradicting himself, doesn’t matter it’s Wilder) When you call out Wilder it is obvious it is a bluff but Wilder can call AJ out for 1 year and means everything he says including 50/50 or no fight.

It is very easy to accept terms to a contract on social media. Very easy. However , when it’s time to be proactive and sign it takes 1 week for you to tell the opposing promoter you have issues with the contract that you will explain in 6 days lol

In fact let me not be ignorant as I really don’t know what took place but all Wilder fans are convinced it went the way Winkle explained. So be it

Wilder fans are fully aware Wilder ducked Klitschko with Winkle calling Wilder a prospect and baby even though he was a champion . He has fought tomato cans for 10 years yet all Wilder fans concern themselves with who AJ is fighting next...... I repeat we want Wilder!Prove that we are bluffing. Step up and I will break those Birdlegs of yours before summer

erm....has Lewis lost his mind?

All I've heard from AJ in the last month if Wilder, Wilder, Wilder...maybe Lewis should be taken to a retirement home.

[Noelanthony]

Let's be real here. You guys hate anyone that talks bad about AJ. Lewis is stating a real opinion here, an opinion that almost everybody in the sport agrees with even though most won't come out and say it like Lewis did.

I never said anything about what Lewis said that is his opinion. I respect what Lewis achieved in the ring so I can’t talk ill of him. I just never liked him and it has nothing to do with his comments. Having said that if you criticise Deontay Deontay is super sensitive. He is not talking to Paulie because Paulie had Fury winning. He said what he said about Floyd , Andre Ward. He is a very emotional dude

regardless of what you AJ fanboys think the sound of the O2 speaks for itself. That one fight in LA changed the whole heavyweight lansdscape and Joshua needs to fight either or both to be considered the best. Im not dishing the fighters Joshua has beaten - Povetkin, Takam, Parker, Whyte all legitimately good fighters but we all know he was stalling on Wilder fight and now that Wilder/Fury was a blockbuster fight with an immediate rematch probably being the biggest heavyweight fight since the glory days hes pushing the boat out now and increasing the offer. As Lewis once said if its about money then your just damaging your legacy in the long run. Sure its about money but to the point where you price out your biggest rivals considering you turned down the offer that you said you would fight for?! if it was all about legacy they would have fought, was it truly about money how could he turn down 50m?? something doesnt add up and its simply that Wilder up to this point has been avoided (yes very much like wilder avoided klitschko)

say it as it is pal, no rose tinted glasses here

[thack]

Listen to old man Hearn on the subject .....'The Wilder fight should be made to marinade for another two years'(2020)...This is the one who in his his own words 'runs the show'....!

' We have a seven year business plan for Joshua'.....Barry Hearns words!!!

Barry Hearn is an accountant by trade , does this sound like a safe money in the bank, easier route accountant is about to throw his golden Goose in with the most unpredictable and hard punching heavyweight on the planet and in recent times .......if you think yes ....then you should look for sport elsewhere!

Gosh don’t listen to Wilder.Aj was booed because he said he wants Wilder and Wyte is third choice.i don’t blame Wyte for being annoyed or the crowd as they have seen him just knock out his opponent.

All the top heavyweights are in a good place I just don’t understand why Wilder is not keen especially when Fury is suggesting he will take on winner of AJ vs Wilder instead Wilder just wants to wait for Fury in June
