Comments Thread For: Wilder Manager Updates on Talks To Fight Ortiz, Joshua, Fury

[pillowfists98]

So going life and death with a forty year old coming off a loss and hadn’t fought in a year and a half is the stuff of legend. Gotcha

lol that "40 year old coming off a loss" is one of the greatest HW champions of all time. Joshua wasn't fighting some journeyman.

[DaNeutral.]

Shirley Winkle is lying anyway. He aint trying to make any fights with Joshua. Its just Wilder is getting a lot of stick for what people see as a DUCK of Anthony Joshua and theres pressure on him, people are on their necks over turning down Anthony Joshua so all Winkle does is talk about it "BEING IN THE WORKS" which actually means "PLEASE GET OFF OUR NECKS".

Still nothing stopping AJ Wilder being next. Just waiting on Team Wilder, again.

Bryant Jennings fought Wlad and Ortiz in back to back fights. Go check the results. Wlad fought AJ coming off a loss. So exactly WTF had him ranked higher than Ortiz in relation to their fights with AJ and Wilder resectively? I don¡¯t know what rankings systems you¡¯re talking about. But was pretty much considered the best heavyweight without a belt when he fought Wilder. And several folks had Ortiz rated ahead of Wilder.

I had Ortiz rated above Wilder and all other contenders solely based on the Jennings fight.... until I heard about his BLOOD PRESSURE PROBLEMS. I wonder who else knew about it before it became public news.
Mind you, the division was thin between 2014 and 2017 and still is.

I don’t particularly care about his amateur record in regards to the hyping or dismissing of him by rival fan bases. Go look at what he did to Bryan Jennings compared to what Wladimir’s performance against him. He beat Jennings far more impressively than Wlad did. Then Wlad turns around and gets thoroughly outboxed by Fury. Then comes back a year and a half later and AJ goes life and death with him. And folks act like AJ’s performance was the greatest thing we’ve ever seen. Wilder beats Ortiz and all of a sudden Ortiz is terrible. Like come on man. I don’t understand how anybody that actually follows the sport can rationally look at that timeline of events and walk away with those conclusions.

What is it they say... styles make fights?

One fighter isn't better than another simply because they put in a better performance than somebody else against a common opponent and that's essentially all your argument is there. There are numerous examples that show that not to be the case.

As I said in my previous post; " Objectivity goes out the window on both sides of the fence." It's pretty clear you're just on the other side of the fence to those you're complaining about.

[REDEEMER]

Shows you the mentality of how team Wilder has been running things. AJ didn't go to our fight to sell it for us so we won't let him go there. AJ has a fight soon ,Wilder already had his ,why would AJ shift everyone's focus on Wilder when he has his own Ruiz fight that Wilder can actually benefit from ? These guys know if they let Wilder go to the Joshua fight they will have added pressure to make it and that's a no no.

At the end of the day Finkel would come up with something and everyone will blame Hearn. "IHF" (Its Hearn Fault) would soon replace IMF

[Akutalee]

Then whyte

Tbh...money is preventing Wilder Joshua. Its in full marination mode. Not blaming either side.

If not Joshua or Fury, then who?

[Ake-Dawg]

Not used to it. However, something is definitely happening behind the scenes. Wilder is being to complimentary of Joshua which is strange and Hearn opting to not have a dig at wilder regarding tickets sold and viewership figures leaves me to believe something is imminent

Agree. Finkel said two weeks for an announcement.

[Ake-Dawg]

Then whyte

Whyte may have to fight Fury after Rivas, but if not, I'd like to see that too.
