Comments Thread For: Wilder Admits He Reached Out To See if Klitschko Would Return

[GitchyGichyYaYa]

Tyson Fury has to smash Wilder in the rematch. F the 'don't get greedy' advice Fury was getting.
EVery time he landed those combinations on Wilder, he should have pressed forward and smashed the ribs and liver , the way the E. Europeans do, once they start landing they don't dance off to the neutral corner in case opponent fires back. Whoever trained Fury to do this , when he's the bigger , faster guy every time...get rid of them . Send Fury to train in Ukraine with Usyk.

Buy 2 years retired coming off 1 loss was fine for AJ to fight him?

I never said it was a problem or not. Many wilder fans , including yourself, criticised the fight after AJ had won because of that reason. Many pundits had Klitschko as favourite though - and bear in mind he was training etc before that fight.

I would actually love to see Klitschko face wilder, and if they agreed to a fight now it would be ideal because Wladimir could have a warm up in the summer first. I wouldn’t want him to return, having not even been training - straight into a wilder fight without a decent warm up. For clarity I don’t mean a warm up like Tyson fury’s - I mean a proper opponent.

Wladimir clearly still had it when he fought AJ, does he now? Well we won’t know unless it happens but it certainly would be a matchup right up there in my view. Would Wilder take that fight? Well let’s be honest he would be silly too. A win probably gets put down to beating an old man and a loss loses his much bigger payday against Joshua.

If Klitschko does come back he should fight in Germany under dazn for warm ups for good pay days with the aim for one big matchup - most likely the Joshua rematch!

Let's get the FURY rematch done first. Let Klit fight AJ again. 2 rematches with winners fighting each other. That would be great for HW boxing.

WILDER is most feared HW in boxing now because of the lights out goodnight right hand. AJ wants no part if him and FURY ran from rematch because he knows he got knocked down 2x and will eventually not get up from the next one from WILDER.

Yeah I know but the Joshua fanboys give him full credit though. They compare Joshua's victory over Wladimir Klitschko with Wilder's victory over Luis Ortiz; Which is like counting apples and oranges.

At the time Wilder challenged him; Ortiz was undefeated and the most feared, dangerous and avoided challenger in the Heavyweight division. He still is to this day.

On the other hand, Wlad had four losses on his record entering into the Anthony Joshua fight; With three of them coming by way of knockout. In addition, a recent loss Tyson Fury too.

You're a joke for this post. Wlad was STILL a better opponent than Ortiz regardless of your ducksicking of Ortiz, who has been nothing more than an decent fighter. Ortiz hasn't beaten anyone of note. Yet you're acting like he's the best. Gtfoh. Hes a decent fighter, nothing more, nothing less.

Wlad has many more accolades and accomplishments than Ortiz will ever have and was one of the longest reigning hw champs. You talk about AJ fanboys, hell you just ducksicked wilder from behind with this post...

He's the most feared? Are you on medication or what?
Deontay is like the Danny Garcia of the hw division.
Everybody wants Danny.
Everybody wants Deontay as well.
Joshua, Ortiz, Miller, even Stiverne probably wants another fight.
Whyte offered him $4 mil months ago when Deontay was only making an average of $900K fighting irrelevant fighters.

Klit vs Chisora

Klitschko is old and retired. It's not going to be much of an achievement if Wilder beats him now. Whereas Fury and AJ beat him when he was an active boxer (though still past his prime).

His own promoter of K2 Promotions; Tom Loeffler said that he rather Wladimir Klitschko fight Deontay Wilder next once he decides to come out of retirement.

I think K2 promotions is defunct. Loeffler is setting up his own promotions company called 360 as neither Klits (nor Golovkin) had any interest in signing anyone to K2. As we know, Golovkin has gone to DAZN which offered him slots for his own promotions company, Golovkin Promotions (or something like that).

Have a look at the K2 websites - they are inactive. So what Loeffler says on behalf of a defunct company is probably irrelevant at this point.

This guy really is a piece of work
