Some interesting points for those calling AJ a coward and saying he's ducking Wilder

I am pretty sure Joshua fights Wilder at some point in the future, honestly no matter how things play out now there is some money in that fight beyond what an average fight could bring.
Joshua ended up looking kind of suspect through his own actions and Hearn doing his things, and Wilder's side to a degree took advantage and probably came out a bit ahead in the whole ordeal. Which will help him make some extra cash, but really isn't that crucial.
I pretty much guarantee they are going to fight down the road, so while it is fun to talk a bit of smack the fight is pretty much on course as it was intended to be so not that big of a deal really.

The plan was to get the pub, offer Wilder short money (since "all the money is in the UK"), have Wilder say no to the short money, and fight Povetkin instead, before maybe fighting Wilder after ithay.
Wilder's camp shows up with $50m for Joshua, and the plan goes to ****.

I just dismiss each and every poster that comes out with that kind of drivel as not worth bothering about and try and converse with the adults instead.

The problem with AJ fans trying to cast shade at Wilder's resume is that Deontay fought and beat Ortiz, who AJ avoided not once but twice and who Dillian Whyte just passed on (and risked getting his WBC Silver belt stripped) to fight Parker.
And now AJ is fighting Povetkin, who is only ranked higher than Ortiz because of Luis's KO loss to Wilder

Originally posted by Holler View PostThey're usually mentioned in response to people comparing Joshua unfavourably with Wilder and implying that he lacks courage and ambition in his choices of opponents. Given that Wilder's resume is very poor, that he's fought twice as many times as Joshua and there's a startling lack of top rated opponents, even after he won his belt it's pertinent to make the comparison.
Unless you have a seat within Team Joshua it's impossible to say this with any certainty.
there simply aren't enough big names at HW to brag on a resume and say aj fights "killers" and wilder "bums".
Anyone in their right mind including you would take 50mil+ for a fight, hearn has a business to run so of course he got in AJs ear along with everyone else telling him not to fight wilder next, its why he was muzzled until now to speak on this fight. the fact fans are siding with this "he can make 50 mil in 3 fights" argument is quite sad. we as fans should be demanding the best fighting the best, not hiding behind business and promoters arguments.

It would be spiteful to wish that Joshua or Wilder loses before April 2019 but if it doesn't happen in 2019 then fans will become more bitter about it. It's like that futurama meme, just take my damn money already!

Originally posted by SAINTSTEVE View PostIf Joshua takes the fight now, and gets knocked out, then everyone will question Hearn saying Why did you take the fight now? Why not let it marinate while Joshua gets more experienced? Because he is taking Povetkin first, that opened the door for Warren to question him over that. So only time will tell what will happen next.

Originally posted by LetOutTheCage View PostI'm against this notion that the fight needs to marinate. Joshua has fought plenty of tough opponents that should make him ready for this fight now. If anything Wilder is the one who isn't really tested yet (if you look at who he has fought at least)
