Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: I'm Ready To Face Wilder, I Want Undisputed

[Ake-Dawg]

Yes, we know how this **** works. Wilder makes an offer to AJ via social media for a fight on his network, promoted by his team, with no detailed terms, no discussions, and a 24 hour take it or leave it deadline. AJ has to accept it immediately, or he's ducking the fight.

DAZN make an offer to Wilder to fight AJ on their platform at a meeting with him and his team. Wilder shouldn't accept that offer, because it's not really an offer to fight on DAZN, it's "trying to sign him with DAZN" and Wilder is loyal to Showtime. (Who have now dumped him for trying to screw them for more money than he is worth)

Showtime didn't dump Wilder genius. Espinosa simply said that the Ortiz fight and the guarantees required to secure it didn't work for them (outbid by Fox).

Talk all the sh/t you want but until Joshua asks the WBO and IBF for an exception to unify, he is just flapping his gums.

Wilder has gone on record saying he would push the Fury fight to unify. Now we will see if Joshua goes to DAZN and starts the process of getting a deal together for him to fight Wilder next.

You forgot to mention the details...Wilder's offer was just Finkle designed twitter talk, a mention on Facebook with a fake deadline. Conversely, DAZAN sent representatives face to face with a 120 million guarantee and Wild said no. Shelly Finkle claimed Wilder was busy but as it turn out, Wilder received a 97% pay cut in an empty arena.

The only REASONABLE assumption seemed to be that Wilder simply didn't want the fight....but... that's not the entire story.

The truth is that Shelly Finkle needs Wilder to fight in house because he earns for Shelly. Unfortunately Wilder gets screwed and will keep getting screwed by a group that use his "street code" loyalty to line their pockets.

All this reminds me of Charlo but that's another story and another sad tragedy.

All this bluster is BS!!!!

I seem to remember AJ on video & audio telling Radio Raheem that if Wilder's team came up with 50million, he would sign right away. Then when the 50Million showed up at his door and Hearn verified the money was in the bank, the tune immediately changed and the excuses poured in like niagra falls. :wank:

I like AJ, but he isn't going any where near Wilder, who seems to be in a rhythm of KOing everyone who steps into the ring with him.

Wilder is vicious, mean and would take great pleasure in KO'ing AJ - But Hearn isn't going to let that happen. Hearn just got the belts back and there is no reason to put them back on the line so soon.

I'm willing to bet the house, that 1.) Wilder Ko's AJ and 2.) AJ won't take an immediate rematch for at least two years.

To be fair to Joshua, aren’t there two Wilder Fury fights lined up for 2020? Might as well fight a mandatory whilst the others are tied up.

No, only 1. AJ has mandos he must fulfill. IMO he fights Pulev next for the IBF title. The WBO likely strips him so Usyk fights someone for that title . The AJ fight Usyk, regains the WBO belt. Then we finally get Wilder/AJ.

The 'accountants' will talk him out of that or maybe Tyson helps him out.They may think that Josh has a chance v Tyson but know Wilder would do much more trouble than the 'Fat boy' did and that was embarassing.

Let's be real for a second guys this AJ and Wilder fight isn't happening. This BS has been going on for years now and we're no closer to seeing those guys fight than we were back then. It's all politics because how does Andy Ruiz get the fight with Joshua done in less than two months when he's signed to the same advisor Al Haymon as Wilder? There were no networks details that had to be worked out in order for it to happen? No argument over A side and B side, percentages. Hekk if they wanted this fight to happen it would have happened by now. All I'm saying is Hearn made the fight with Ruiz in a couple weeks with no problem and yet the Wilder fight has been talked about for years and still nothing. I don't want to hear about we're ready for Wilder when the WBO already has your next fight with Usyk lined up next (just 48 hours after retaining the belts). Plus Pulev is the next mandatory after him sh** that's all of your 2020 fight schedule dam near set in stone. So that leaves 2021 at the earliest and then what if Usyk beats Joshua the first time around like Ruiz did and now that's another rematch lol This is politics at its finest denying fans the fights they want to see lol

Well lets get the fight done lets demand the fight boxing fans, dont hide behind politics you give up your power as a fan when you do that, demand the fight, or fall victim to the same games that have been played for years

this is the breakdown right here, good post, its just true

[Jax teller]

Can he take his own right hand though?

Probably not and there's no way he can box like Fury for 12 rounds as well.

[skinnystev]

one right hand landed by birdlegs biblicals career is over

Wilder will KO AJ. AJ literally had to run from 300 lb Ruiz all night to get his belts back. Wilder would KO Ruiz in 3. AJ cannot sit in and trade, just like Klitchko, he needs to keep distance, jab and fight off the back foot while occasionally throwing a 1 2.
