    I was wrong about Wilder/Joshua

    I was saying Wilder ducked Joshua because I thought Wilder was the B fighter and should have taken 40% to fight Joshua in England but I admit now Wilder is the "A" fighter and understand why Hearn was protecting Joshua from him.

    I used to think Hearn was protecting Joshua's shaky chin but a few months ago changed my mind. Well, I was wrong to doubt my instincts.

        I always believed that Joshua would beat Wilder
        This was cemented into my brain by his fight with Wladimir
        I thought he was the more sound boxer and would deal with Wilder
        Not anymore , not because I believe Wilder is the better boxer but Joshua won’t tolerate that fughin power
        Very simple , non toxic , self efficient

        And Fury , well I believe Wilder understood after that fight , that you can’t headhunt for the whole fight
        Going for the ko and the whole fight passed him by
        Was lucky to get those two knockdowns
        Showed me differently against Brazeale
        Hoping he learnt something

          Exactly how I feel, the power of Wilder will just be too much and he’s not masterful enough to avoid getting hit. But listen boxing is not always straight up and down when it comes to fight outcomes. We’ve seen guys get KO’d by mediocre punchers and go on to survive against bigger punchers.

            Isn’t that what builds the fight in you , you can’t wait for it
            It’s like I get a fughin speedball leading up to the fights
            That rush you get , especially if your part of the fight week
            Ahhh fugh then your guy loses and you go home and **** your wife like you just won that fight

            That’s what gets my blood going , anyone’s gotta puncher’s chance and that makes it worthwhile

              Hang on, we all saw what was happening and formed opinions.

              Then something unrelated happens and you've all changed your opinion?

              I call BS.

                  I knew that.....

                  but not because of the Ruiz result

                  I knew that because they paid Parker 32.5%, but would only offer Wilder a flat fee.....

                  then, after Wilder accepted their below-market-value offer..... they refused to supply basic details, and inserted ridiculous last-minute roadblocks into the contract.....

                  NOT the way to make a top fight

                  it was pretty obvious imho

                    Being wrong about this isn't the end of the world. It just means you don't know boxing as well as you might think. AJ was always food for Wilder and at the end of the day I knew the fight wasn't going to happen until AJ feels he's ready.
