Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Fight Will Always Be There; Loss Not End Of World

[sportbuddha]

Listen to Wilder spin it like now AJ loss it delays their fight, he was already planning two more fights without AJ, the guy is a liar, there is no other word for it and no reason to take anything he says as fact.

I don't think Wilder needs a retirement package. He's made plenty enough money already to retire a comfortable man. He'll make millions more fighting Ortiz, Fury, Ruiz and the Joshua fight will still be there for an extra $20 million or more. I believe part of the reason Joshua lost to Ruiz was he was too comfortable and unfocused because of all the money he already has. Now that he has lost the wealth can be shared among all the top heavyweights. Best thing to happen.

Well said! Now they get down to the nitty gritty in a far more fair manner.....photo shoots aside.....

Lol it's funny how things change.the switch in total power.now deontay is the A side on any hw in the division

I was the same way, I rejoiced to see him lose and was here talking big mess, now I'm over it and want to see him bounce back.... you didn't think wilder who was involved in all the drama with hearn and aj and constantly bashed by aj and hearn fanatics was going to talk sht??????? this is a very emotional sport. you know wilder loved to talk... what really did you expect? but hes not lying here, a loss does not mean you are done, its just the way aj lost that's really the issue

Good post. I was never a huge Joshua fan based on his
deficiencies. One loss does not define a career but if Ruiz crushes him again then it will be a LONG road back. Ruiz against any of the top guys would be entertaining but I think Fury would easily outpoint him.

Is it true that people are acting ****** or are they? ... Wilder of course he wanted to fight Joshua, but without being tied ... he relies on his skills and what we saw of Joshua in front of Ruiz jr., Wilder would have handed the knockout of the century to Joshua. If the inept Eddie Hearn believed so much in his fighter he did not have to be offering Wilder an agreement or forced rematches ... but Hearn knew that Wilder would blow Joshua's head and wanted to make sure to at least get money from Wilder, for knocking down his hen of the golden eggs ..... if Hearn believed in his man, he would have negotiated with Finkel a fight with Wilder and that's it. All the followers of Joshua inside know that Joshua was going to be knocked out and very ugly ... so stop ******ities, if the fight did not happen was because of Hearn's desire to tie Wilder ..... if Joshua had accepted the $ 50 million he asked for and they were guaranteed, they would have fought twice and had two beatings.

Andy Ruiz jr. Is going to close the business...he is going to knock out Joshua again....the Mega Fight is going to be Ruiz jr. V.s Wilder in a historical unification match!

who are the top 10 HWs? hes fought fury Ortiz and breazelle that's 3 top 10 opponents in a row. thing is its not many big names in the top 10...

Just look at the ring top 10 list and pick someone. Fury was retried for 2 years when Wilder fought him. Wilder took it because it was a big name, easy fight. He shouldn't be fighting Ortiz again. Imagine if Joshua had fought Povetkin again. We'd be giving him *****.

How is Ortiz a big name? People only really know him from the first Wilder fight. Povetkin is a bigger name.

there are no big names pedvtkin hasn't done anything lately, we can make all the excuses we want but I'm into whats happening now. Ortiz isn't the best fight, I'm not excited about it... but outside of aj and fury you all will call anyone he fights a bum. fury just fought one and nobody said anything but you complain about wilder Ortiz.

Well what has Ortiz done lately??? Guy is 40 years old

How about Whyte? He has been number 1 challenger to the WBC belt for over 500(!!) days now. He's actually beaten decent fighters. I can't think of anyone more obvious to prove your credentials against. How can you say you're the WBC champ when you constantly avoid the WBC no.1 contender??

I genuinely think Wilder is a good fighter but in no way can he legit mock AJ until he fights some proper fighters himself.
