Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder's Win Impressive, Joshua Fight Must Happen Next

[Curt Henning]

Wilder slipped and said they been talking behind the scenes so hopefully happens this year would love see wilder get in ring after aj fight in June start a stare down or announce fight for September/October if Joshua next voluntary against Whyte just so he can knock his head off and my uk brothers can come up with someone else to cry bloody murder for

i have a july 2018 ring magazine copy signed by wilder with him and AJ on the cover.....i cant wait for it to happen...i might go depending on when/where....and if it fits my schedule...

im sure they are talking...but i still have doubts it comes off this year....might be good for like april 2020 or something like that....maybe im wrong though

[JakeTheBoxer]

Am I the only man on the world that is not impressed?

Impressed about what? That Wilder stopped the guy that Joshua already stopped? The guy that had a very hard time with Izu Ugonoh?

People act like Ugonoh fight never happened. Well, casuals probably don`t watch fights that are not hyped?

Wilder sold half as many tickets as AJ did already for his next fight and Wilders ticket were dirt cheap.

Wilder cant afford to fight more bums and duck the AJ fight.

Well, if anyone knows the financials and ticket sales of two boxing shows in New York, it's some boxing fan in Europe.

I think Wilder may wait longer! His profile is growing! Knockouts Sell! I hate say this, (b/c Ortiz deserves a rematch) but if Whyte beats Rivas, I think Wilder should fight him next, and preferably in the UK! If not the UK, somewhere other than the U.S.! Botswana? Maybe I've been watching too much Muhammad Ali lately? I would like to see Ortiz vs. Kownacki fight for the right to face Wilder!

Whyte will not beat Rivas.

Why should the Bronx Bomber leave the U.S. for Dillian Shyte?

All of U.K. knows who he is already, especially after the Fury fight.

Wilder is calling the shots now.

Why did Ali fight is Zaire and Manilla? Why did Ali fight in Puerto Rico in 1976? Could you imagine what Wilder could do to help Puerto Rico? Imagine Wilder vs. Ortiz II in San Juan, with proceeds helping the Island! That's what a real champion does!

[MDPopescu]

... OK... even I can't see what Ali has do to with this...

Ali became "The People's Champ" b/c he took the fights "to the people!" "Rumble in the Jungle!" "Thrilla in Manila!" I believe Ali fought in 12 countries, and also fought in Puerto Rico! We don't have "World Champions" anymore! I've been watching "What's My Name" on HBO, and missing "The Champ!" Fury has come here, and Joshua is coming here, maybe Wilder should go abroad, and build his profile the way "The Greatest" did it!

... it happens that I was following Ali since March 1965...

[Bronx2245]

Whyte will not beat Rivas.

WOW! That would be tragic, if after all that talking, he lost to Rivas AT HOME!

[Bronx2245]

... it happens that I was following Ali since March 1965...

Salute to you Sir! I was not born until 1967! I grew up on Sesame Street, Fat Albert, and Howard Cosell on Wide World of Sports! Lol! I'm still shocked that Ali had a bigger fight in Manila than Manny Pacquiao! Shame!
