AJ was talking about then and there. Not that he wouldn't ever go to the US. They always planned to. But getting the Wilder fight in the UK was his right due to being the big A side star. To think he should travel and give home advantage to a bum with a title who makes peanuts and doesn't sell tickets is crazy.

OK but it’s a fact that if you want to achieve boxing greatness, you have to travel to the US.
Brit fans who are blindly patriotic (I don’t know if you fall in to this category) will deny it but that’s the simple truth.
I’m British but that’s just a fact.
Joshua may have been talking specifically about the Wilder fight then, but his whole attitude towards having to fight in the US seemed to me like he resented it and wanted all his fights in The UK.

If you’re the real deal, like Lewis for example, you can go there and win.

Respect to Wladimir!

AJ never "Had" to go. But he wanted to at some point. AJ is just pointing out that he sells out stadiums making paydays that are bigger than the rest of the division combined. So he didn't need to do anything.

What are your opinions on Wilder not travelling and being petrified of doing so? Shouldn't he see that he's the one who needs to make the trip for the payday like British fighters have for over a hundred years and get the fight on? No, he fights tooth and nail to make sure that doesn't happen. Why does everyone else need to travel for the American even though they're a much bigger star and make a lot more money? Being entitled and a coward are not exactly good qualities to have are they? But that's what you have, a bunch of cowardly b**** who complains about fighters not doing what they aren't willing to do, even though the one who should make the moves is the nobody who needs to prove themselves.

Wilder fought in Sheffield 6 years ago against Harrison.
Tim Bradley beat Witter.
Spence beat Brook.
Crawford beat Burns.
Gervonta Davis fought in UK against Walsh.

That's just off the top of my head.

You’re completely missing the point. Joshua v Lewis, right now, at their ages - Joshua would probably kill Lewis. That is the only reality we will ever get to see.

What good is it to say that prime Lewis would beat prime Joshua? It’s pointless because we will never see it happen.

Tyson was justified. Lewis wasn't. That's the difference.

Wilder is so deluded he said he would have knocked Tyson out in 1 round. Wilder can't even knock out most bums in 1 round.

Tyson Fury is a complete bum. Pillow fisted dosser!!! He can't even fight in his own country anymore! He's a American now! Lol. He will be driving cabs soon.

Where do i mention Wilder anywhere in my post?

Seriously, you need to stop watching BBC cuckold stuff and pay your GF more attention bro...

I never said you did mention Wilder. I was just asking for your opinion on him considering you never say any of these things towards him.

So you're not going to back yourself up after making comments, but deflect instead? Answer my questions if what you say has value. To refuse means you accept to talking nonsense. Which brings another question forward: Why are you talking nonsense? Is it due to being bitter so want to smear AJ like so many poisonous Americans do? Why so insecure? I thought Americans were big and brave and shlt? Could have fooled me with all the madness that comes out of your mental asylum of a country.

It doesn't matter where the fight is. That's like saying the Ali-Frazier-Foreman fights didn't achieve greatness in the eyes of many due to not being in the US. That's silly. The fight would mean the same no matter where it was held. And that should be the UK due to AJ being a proper star while Wilder is nothing but a fraud.

Anyway, the US is no longer the fight capital of the world. That ended many years ago now. It's like saying the UK is the most powerful nation on earth right now due to us having the British empire. Things change. They don't stay the same.

Of course AJ resented having a bum nobody claim he should have to travel for him. Anyone would if in the same situation. Why, how do you think an American star would feel being told to travel by a bum with a title? They'd laugh their asses off due to it being f3cking insane.

And? What is your point? So what Wilder fought a shot Harrison. Tell me when he actually does so when it's a legit threat.

Both Burns and Brook were also shot. Walsh just isn't anywhere near to being world class. So whatever point you were trying to make, you failed.

Tyson is better and more proven than any American out there. And he beat Wlad and Wilder whilst being the away fighter. Let me know when Americans can do something like this. Let me know when they can do it the way Fury did after being out for nearly 3 years and looking obese.

Saying this after the weakest version of Fury beat your very best in Wilder is hilarious. It's funnier too after Wilder claimed he'd fight Fury in the UK in the rematch only to b1tch out like Leo did with Frampton. Then you add in all Wilder's excuses.... Well, quite the embarrassment isn't it? "LOL".
