Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Wants the Fight Because the Pressure Is On Him

[Ray*]

Isn’t this guy ashamed of himself? You’re in your 11th year as a pro at 34 with 42 fights but you’re blaming a guy who turn pro 6years ago with 22 fights at age 29 for everything. It’s just laughable at this point.

Deontay should be the one chasing the fight and sending all the contracts to make the fight happen. He doesn’t have time on his side.

The only reason we’re even talking about AJ is because he was rushed and he took big fights early. At 22 fights, he should still be fighting C-level opponents and learning his craft. But he’s already a unified champion. And that’s why I like him unlike a Deontay who only started taking tough fights after 39 fights and 10years as a pro.

Tremendous post. Wilder should listen to his own interview from last week, where he called for everything to be done behind close doors, he ask for both team not to speak to the media about it.... So much for the silence request.

Yeh you could be right

Barry Hearn phoned wilder and said don’t take the fight at all costs just keep talking bollocks

Complete master stroke

That wouldn't surprise me but lets stick to the facts of what Barry Hearn actually did say and I quote 'If Joshua doesn't fight Wilder for the next ten years but carries on wining then i'd take that'....it doesn't even need dissecting, does it?

So Wilder is basically saying he’s the one holding it up?

I’m all for conspiracy’s but why would they offer him a three fight deal for a 100 million ?

Barry Hearn doesn’t want the fight but dazn and Joshua do hense the daft money

[Arma316]

It sounds like Wilder himself is defending AJ here.

Hey agreed but then Joshua asking for and being offered his $50m 'i'll sign tomorrow' nonsense doesn't clear the picture much. We should be in position now of knowing who is the best out of Wilder and Joshua if not Joshua and Fury because of the later's lack of activity but because of greed , arrogance and **** measuring from both sides we get Wilder fighting a nobody , Joshua fighting a nobody and Fury fighting a nobody ....the promoters are having a laugh and it's at us the fans whoever you are behind .

uhhhh what???

So basically you and a few others are saying to everyone here that reading comprehension isn't your strong suit...right??

Nowhere in the article did Wilder insinuate that he himself is holding the fight up. He very clearly stated that he believes Joshua wants the fight, but that his manager and promoter does NOT.

This is to be said about a lot of the big fights in the past. MAY/PAC is a great example. Mayweather never said Pacquiao didn't want to fight him..He always made it clear that it was a Michael Koncz/Bob Arum issue.

These money grubbing promoters are the source of most REAL boxing fans' anxiety. If it isn't clear to yall yet, it never will be.

always sad when you groupies feel the need to make an alt before jerking off in your pants about AJ. And no, he wasn't "rushed into taking big fights early" lmfao. Jesus Christ.

It’s a complete mess for sure

Nearly over all the heavyweight nonsense now

[The plunger man]

Watch wilder fold like a pack of cards when Joshua hits him clean....Joshua wants the fight because he knows. Technically he is leaps and bounds above wilder and one timed shot will put wilder out.
Joshua has a uppercut , left hook , right hand and quick combinations....wilder just has powerful right hand that’s it.
One trick pony
