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

[mrjoeblive]

He was not rushed to fight Klit when he was still around, you clown.
Wilder now has penchant for fighting retired fighters.
He's still a huge joke. Why he can't fight young prime Joshua is beyond comprehension.

The thing me and a lot of people can't get away from. Is, aj said give me 50 million and we can fight. Haymon and Finkle said ok you got it. Then aj said, just kidding I'm not fighting DW. Plus it appears Wilder wants the fight more than aj . Ajs manager knows aj can make millions fighting generic soup cans In England rather than fighting DW. Now don't get me wrong I know aj would fight Wilder in a second as he believes he is the better boxer with good power in bilateral hands. But his management fears that one punch from DW that could change the fights outcome. I don't call aj a coward I call his team greedy. They want him fighting safe bouts. They don't want the Cuban master boxer or DW. But it's just a matter of time before they are forced to meet one of them.

Hes quick to jump on the Klitschko fight without even asking for any figures, but the minute Joshuas name pops up, he starts trying to do math and blah blah blah... I mean Im getting tired of it already

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...

I know. That's why Deontay Wilder should beat his ass then.

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.

You are right. I meant his former promoter.

Greedy? Rejecting the $50 mil meeting-less offer in favor of
making less as long as it's in the UK is greedy?
Did you ever hear them say, "We don't want $50 mil,
we want $60 mil, $70 mil!"
That's not greed.
In contrast, Wilder got the flimsiest resume,
only meaningful fight is Ortiz after 40 fights,
ducked non-prime Klitschko, making an average of $1 mil.
Was offered 10x more, plus 3 title shots, yet he turned it all down.
Greediest B-side in boxing history.

Posts like this just show you how deluded Dunceay Wilder fans are. They're trying to say a guy that has won nothing is a better win than a 1st ballot HOF fighter.

Which is all the more reason why Deontay Wilder should stomp kick the living shit out of him once he comes out of retirement. That way Wladimir Klitschko would be the best fighter on Wilder's resume; A first ballot HOF fighter. Of course, that's if Wlad has the balls to get in there with Deontay Wilder

[champion4ever]

That's irrelevant. It's been peddled here non-stop that Wlad was washed up and the Joshua victory means nothing; can't suddenly change your mind if Wilder were to face him. Although you've clearly no issue with contradicting yourself:

No, it doesn't take away from the fact that he is still a washed up fighter but at the same time, he is yet a legendary fighter too and the last to go on an aging fighter is his punching power. Anthony Joshua's victory over Wlad has historical significance because Wladimir Klitscho is a first ballot HOF. Likewise, as would be in the case of Deontay Wilder if he decides to challenge and stop Wladimir Klitschko also.

I'd pick Klitschko to beat Wilder now. He stays in good shape, has far more ability and hits as hard as Wilder but has KO power in both hands. Klitschko would be a very bad match up, he's a very calculated fighter that would force Wilder to open up and when he misses wildly Klitschko would take him out.

Yeah, I would pick Klitschko too....legend has it that Klitschko would put the hurt on deontayduckus wilderquackus that is why deontayduckus was very quiet when Klitschko held the Heavyweight Division in a stranglehold for 10 years

The thing that you and alot of people cant get away from is that you all are al haymon fans....but AJ is also black....if you are gonna use money as a barometer then what is up with the $100 million deontayduckus wilderquackus passed up (mind you 40% would go to Uncle Sam maybe 20% if he is slick) minus 15% to al haymon ....minus the other % splits for all the advisers and trainer.....look I aint black so I am not bias....I just wanna see some blood and AJ would knock out deontayduckus in 8 rounds.

😂😂😂 you’re so blinkered it’s funny. AJ asked for $50 million to fight Wilder and Finkel offered him the money. Deal done right. In business (which boxing is) saying you have the money gets you sweet FA, you need to show you have it. where was the guarantee of payment, where was the contract, terms and conditions etc etc. To fight AJ Wilder has been offered a $12.5 million flat fee for 1 fight, a 3 fight deal for anywhere between $80-120 million and still he says no. Lice or loathe Eddie Hearn he pays big money, has a wealth of top talent earning top dollar, Canelo being the biggest name. So who is ducking and who is full of crap
