Comments Thread For: Wilder: Just Because Joshua Lost Once Doesn't Mean It's Over

[FreezeIzGawd]

So Wilder is already begging for Joshua fight. he knows Joshua is still the biggest price.

I swear AJ fans are the WORST.

When he said he didn't need a fight with AJ then he was a coward and ducking him because he was afraid of losing and getting exposed but if he says I WANT TO FIGHT AJ he is begging!!!!

GTFOHWTBS!!!!

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHYT UP!!!!

[FreezeIzGawd]

Wilder is right here, he lost to Fury and still has a career.

Uhhhh sorry Sir WILDER IS UNDEFEATED!!!

Actually at this time he is the ONLY UNDEFEATED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION of the WORLD!!!

PLUS HE IS THE LONGEST REIGNING HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION IN MODERN BOXING HISTORY!!!!

You may not like him BUT that does not change the FACTS!!!

When he fight Ortiz in his next fight he will be the DEFENDING CHAMPION while in AJ's next fight he will be the Challenger!

ONCE AGAIN THOSE ARE THE FACTS!!!

For the modern day fan, one loss means your an "overhyped bum".

Unfortunately, you are correct. Is this just a product of the Floyd era, or because boxing has become so marginalized that only someone with an '0' gets media attention?

What?!!! the bolded...are you serious?!!..im sure Wlad is coming off an almost 10 year reign as heavyweight champion..a reign that was definitely in the modern era of boxing during which he managed to unify belts during his reign LOL!!

Deontay Wilder won't write off Anthony Joshua after only one loss. The unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion contends that his dethroned rival can resurrect his career following a devastating defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr. two months ago. Wilder reiterated as part of a new interview with GQ that Joshua "quit" during the seventh and final round of his technical-knockout loss to Ruiz on June 1 at Madison Square Garden, yet Wilder also emphasized that Joshua's critics shouldn't give up on the British superstar.

What if he loses a second time... What then?

I agree. I think the criticism of Joshua isn’t only because he lost, but that he lost to such a huge underdog.

When Pacquiao lost to Márquez or Morales lost to Pacquiao or Porter lost to Kell Brook I don’t think people automatically wrote them off as over hyped bums. Even recent examples like Miley losing to Spence, or Ortiz losing to Wilder. These were close fights in paper that may or may not have played out that way in the ring.

What we had with Joshua was him getting his entire ass handed to him by a guy who would have been a huge underdog even if he had a full camp, but actually took the fight in 6 weeks notice. And as good as I think Andy Ruiz is, I kind of think the criticism going Joshua’s way is justified. You got obliterated. If you lost a decision or something, ok, I get it. But you got destroyed, man. That’s the definition of exposed. Hopefully he can get his career back on track, but honestly I’m pulling for Andy, and hoping it’s a close decision so the door on Joshua doesn’t shut completely. I want to see him be a player in the division.

I have never rated Joshua that highly so I don't know why people think him losing to Ruiz is bad, people overhyped him so much, prior to Ruiz I thought the guy had fought guys who are similar to Joshua, even though I didn't pick him to beat Joshua, I wasn't shocked that he did.

Especially at heavyweight where a single punch can change everything.
For me I give Ruiz more credit than criticising Joshua who in my opinion is quite limited.

It doesn’t mean it’s over but if you bring delusional about how you lost and won’t fix things that caused you to lose then yeah it’s over..... we already know Joshua being delusional about how he lost now to see if he worked on the things or going still be same boxer is next question that needs to be answered

11 years undefeated by fighting bums, an old man & a fat junkie. Wilder will never fight abroad either, too chicken shyt to do that & earn a career high purse. Content to earn peanuts in front of tiny crowds.

[Tecnoworld]

Great respect to Wilder. He almost uses the words of rocky when he says: "You know what I mean? Because the biggest task is when you fall, how you get up. Sometimes standing on top could be easy."

He's a great man, before he's a great boxer.

[BangEM]

LMAO! This bum is still daydreaming about generational wealth because he knows all roads lead to Josh and he dropped the ball.

If Josh beats Ruiz in the rematch (which he'll do comfortably), he better come forward and accept 30%. Else Josh will dump the WBO belt in the bin and stick to WBA/IBF with easy fights.

The era of chasing undisputed around and listening to the scumbag Hearn is over. The Fury fight to determine the King of Great Britain is more important than a Wilder fight at this point. And Josh will gain more from beating Fury than Wilder.

AJ is still the best and most complete boxer in the division. The cash cow!
