Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn: Wilder is Not Very Good, Easiest Fight For Joshua

[Ray*]

If AJ had fought Wilder he would have been tested by both UKAD and VADA, like he was for the Povetkin fight.

Note: UKAD are not the only testing organisation who allow oxylofrine out of competition. USADA also allow it because they follow WADA guidelines, just like UKAD.

Am not even fuss about that, just know all these "I want VADA testing" and calling it a "Red flag" is laughable. Like Joshua doesn't get tested or something.

People would use any narrative to suit there agendas, imagine if Whyte had said "I need more time, more money and VADA against Wilder"? Would the response be "Red flag"! Nope, Whyte would be sh itted on.

Moving on to reverse psychology now?

Good, someone else saw it too. That’s exactly what he’s doing now because he knows he needs someone after Miller

Lol, because you don't know what your watching.

When Wilder has you ****ed, all hell breaks lose, but that's not the whole fight. Pay attention before that though.

Monster straight right hand, but he's developed a really good control jab that he uses a bunch of ways, a really good lead hook he can use well, he moves in and out of positions alright, and he's effective when he has to fight on the inside.

He's never going to be Joe Louis, but you're blind if you haven't seen any improvement from when he won his bronze medal as a novice.

he is appalling no other words to describe it

You could say that the other way too. not that AJ is technically bad, but he's big and stiff. Very upright and an easy target for someone like Wilder.

Wilder will find him with shots much easier than he did with Fury. Wilder always finds a way to land the big shots despite his obvious flaws.

Just because Fury highlighted his major weaknesses, it doesn't mean AJ can. They're very different fighters. AJ being a static target actually suits Wilder.

It seems like only 5 minutes ago I was reading multiple comments by those same people crapping all over "Dillian Shyte" and supporting Wilder for turning down what would have been his highest purse to fight Dillian in the US.

"Deontay ain't about the money, he just wants to fight the best for his fans ... Dillian Shyte is irrelevant .... Shyte got KTFO by AJ ... Shyte don't deserve a title shot ... blah, blah, blah ..."

united queendom road blocks continue.

I have maintained my standards. Any offer made after Wilder and Fury announced negotiations for their first fight is not a real offer. Everyone knew the first fight was happening (regardless of Eddie denying it to the media) and everyone knows that the rematch is happening, regardless of how often Someone at Matchroom says that Fury and Wilder are scared and ignoring them.

Why is it not a real offer?

There’s nothing to stop either Wilder or Fury fighting Joshua until a contract has been signed.

If they accepted the terms of the offer with Hearn then they would be under contract with Hearn under those terms. There’s nothing to suggest that the offer was “not real”

[Ake-Dawg]

Barry contradicting himself and his son. He once said he'd be fine if Joshua never fought Wilder due the value of the fight versus the risk of losing and losing the revenue from going undefeated for many years. Eddie said Wilder was the most dangerous fight out there for Joshua.

Is there anybody other than the AJ super fans on NSB that agree with Barry's new assessment?

[apollocreed]

Barry Hearn is talking here like Joshua is some master technical boxer. The fact is he's also technically basic with plodding feet and can't box well either. He's all about his power and his right hand and left hook. He looks like he's walking in treacle when he fights.
