Shelley Finkel - I called Hearn. Hearn doesn't want the Wilder-Joshua fight.

Politics, economics, milking, all that is real... But as far as us as fans go, we should certainly want it next, period. Unless your preference is for one or both to face Parker or Povetkin next. Because you could rank either of those guys above Wilder. Otherwise you should not sound like you are on the payroll of either fighter, like several of you sound.

 

Sure blame Floyd the premadonna for all his ducks, or blame Canelo for his, or blame Oscar for not rematching Tito, or Jones for not rematching Hopkins once he reached his peak, or Tyson ducking Holyfield during his peak..

I mean what are you talking about? Be a fan. It didn't start today or yesterday, but it has become much more accepted these days because people are fans of boxers and not fans of the matches. A good fight is a good fight with two men in their prime can become a great thing.

I'm not one to care or discuss a fighters purse, handbags are for women.

 

Lets take the titles out of the question, except for AJ's. Right who would you rather AJ face out of...
1) Povetkin
No explanation needed.
2) Parker
Beat 2/3 top ten contenders
3) Wilder
KO artist who specialises in top 10-20 opponents.

Its a no brainer for me, really.

 

Oquendo has been waiting like 100 years for a court-ordered WBA title fight.

Don’t you think the WBA would rather get a sanctioning fee that’s a percentage of a much bigger fight? It’s not like any particular fighter will be able to say “Hey, I’m WBA No. 1, I’ve been in line, it’s my turn, I shouldn’t have to wait.” Whoever is installed as the new No. 1, whenever that happened, hasn’t been waiting a single second at this moment.

If the WBA absolutely won’t allow a unification before the mandatory, all good and well, but they haven’t taken that position (the IBF did) and therefore there’s nothing, right now, impeding a Wilder vs. AJ unification happening next ... in fact, there are reports about AJ and Parker camps talking about a spring fight, so they obviously aren’t worried about the WBA if that is true.

 

There are people out there that legitimately have scored two of Parkers' fights, his two best wins, against him. Certainly very close fights. I think Parker is actually "more beatable" and "less scary" than Wilder even if ON PAPER Wilder seems the bigger cupcake... I don't think it's a no brainer and it would depend on what style and skills I had in order to answer your question.

 

Suasan Finkel didnt ring nobody, they are full of ****. And if he did ring what did he say? "LETS GO CHAMP"? Hearn is making it quite clear they are looking to face Wilder in 2018 and people are crying it may be in the 2nd half of 2018? Get a grip. When NEXT Christmas rolls by and we are at the same stage as we are now you should all go full on mental about Joshua and Hearn. But this NOW NOW NOW crap is just a bit lame.

And once again lets not forget Wilder and Ray Finkel and Louise DeBellend have had years to build up their star and have fukked it up by giving bums short training camps to face their monster that everybody is supposed to be scared of. Thats why they have nothing, no muscle on the contract table. Outside of the US of A Wilder is no bigger than Parker.

To Americans there is only 1 fight to be made but to the rest of the world AJ vs Wilder is not any different to AJ vs Parker. So nobody else will be really complaining about which of the 2 comes 1st.

 

Why are you so upset that your fake idol is getting KTFO 6 months later than you wanted?

The inevitable always happens, only now you have more time to emotional prepare yourself for PTSD.

 

People are actually arguing against this fight?

People actually care how much money the fight generates?

I just wanna see the best fights the best, every time, no exceptions.
