Eddie Hearn sums it up perfectly

Freaking forum is nuts
There can never be a fight discussion
Always turns into a battle of sides. Very toxic

 

They definitely took different paths but they are both at a crossroads where both of their paths intersect. Because Joshua took greater risks, he's sitting in the top position in the heavyweight division. Wilder behind him at #2

 

its not though.

AJ vs Fury is the biggest. And America is not even involved - must hurt.

 

Watch Eddie change his tune if the fight gets made. He will be speaking of Wilder in glowing tones when it comes time to sell the tickets.

 

Fury would be the biggest, but he ate and coked his way out of that position. He should be considered retired or shot until he actually fights someone and looks more than a shell of his old self.

 

I agree. He is also coming off a bit desperate right now, saying he doesn't need to be in shape etc etc like he doesn't want to miss out on whats going on. Get in shape first Fury, then get involved. Im not a fan of all the social media crap.

 

It only hurts that it won't happen any time soon. At 25 stone and not having fought for 2 years Fury would be nothing more than a victim at this stage. It is a farce that would sell tickets though.

 

the fight will get made guys. hearn is just trying mess with team wilders head. hoping to throw him off his game slightly.

 

When Mayweather was doing this to Pacquiao, people were mad.

When Canelo and Oscar were doing this to Golovkin, people were mad.

Hearn and AJ are doing this to Wilder and people support it?!

Big Bull**** guys.

 

You are assuming its the same people tbh..

 

Pac and ggg were on an approximate level with May and Canelo. Wilder is not on a level with AJ. He's on a level with Parker, Ortiz, Povetkin. That is the difference.

 

Pacquiao was a multi weight world champion taking on all comers, with a huge fan base.

GGG was probably the 'hardcore boxing fans' favorite fighter. He fought anyone who would step in the ring with him and had a style which made his fights so enjoyable.


Wilder, a guy who (Claims) wants the best in the division after never stepping in the ring with a top 10 guy, let alone beating one. He's made a career of taking no risks, fighting no decent level opposition and has a profile that even leaves his neighbors ringing the cops when he enters his own home as they have no idea who he is.

Pacquiao and GGG were fan favorites, the 'good guys' within the fights.
Wilder has done nothing but beat up the 'bumsquad'.

 

That mightve been the dumbest ****en comment made by a promoter ever. There is no such thing as who you fought after 19 fights against who the other guy fought at 19 fights. That's what makes Hearn one of those guys that you want to smack the **** out of because of how clueless he sounds. Mike Tyson fought Steve Zouski in his 19th fight. Just dumb! Lmao

 

No that isn't the difference.

 

Pac fought Wook Ki Lee in his 19th fight.
