Anthony Joshua slams Tyson Fury versus Deontay Wilder fight as nothing more than a money-grab

He's absolutely spot on

 

Fury is casing out simple as that, only Wilder nut huggers are trying to talk this up as anything other than selling his lineal status..

 

Luis Ortiz

 

If Wlad and Povetkin were/are cashing out why did Wlad get in incredible shape and why is Povetkin fighting multiple prospects when in reality they just need to turn up to get paid?

The reality is that sadly you've turned into a bit of a Joshua hater @CST80 .


Haven't you predicted him to lose every fight after he beat Dillian Whyte?

That's sad man....
I don't rate Wilder, but I don't dislike the guy and still predicted he would KO Ortiz.

 

Joshua is just hating because he could have made the fight with Wilder before this. No sense in him whining and hating now. Whatever Wilder is doing, the fact remains that he is doing it to get to Joshua and there is nothing wrong with that.

 

Wlad was at the end of his career and gave it one more chance. He had a long lay off but given his was a dominate champion for a long period of time I'd expect he had earn't that chance to redeem himself...

Povetkin is also towards the end of his career but he has been active and has earned that title shot being the no 1 contender.. He is also taking it very seriously and will be in his best possible shape he can be in. I won't be surprised if he ko's AJ tbh.

Fury well no need to repeat the mess he is coming back from and he is still a shell of what he was.. There is no reason for him to take this fight, he has plenty of time to return to form and give it a good crack.

He knows Wilder needs a marque name to bolster his negotiating position and is selling that to him nothing more..

I would prefer them to fight when both are at their best not like this...

Bottom line Wlad and Povetkin were the best they can be at the stage of their careers, Fury is far from it...

 

No, it's people like you that have no shame, you shift goal posts constantly, twist everything just to fit your agenda.


It's a mandatory defence, it wasn't a choice really, what should Joshua have done?

If he dropped that belt you'd be on here slaughtering him saying he is ducking a mandatory challenger.

The Wilder fight didn't happen and I'm not going through all that rubbish, it's pointless, it isn't happening..

So you tell me what would have been the right thing to do?

 

So why did Wilder turn down a career high pay day to fight Whyte 12 months ago, when Hearn was offering the winner a unification with Joshua?
Why has Wilder turned down 2 offers from Hearn?
Why hasn't Wilder's team made a legitimate offer to make the fight?


A HW who wants to become Undisputed doesn't make the Stiverne ll fight instead of fighting Whyte for what was an unofficial Mandatory position against Joshua.
A HW who wants to become Undisputed doesn't refuse to fight in April because of.....Well, he hasn't even offered an excuse for that!

The agenda is alive.....The Wilder fans are promoting Fury as some terrific HW now, when the guy has a weaker resume than Joshua too!



Deontay Wilder.
40-0, 39 KOs.
10 Year pro.
3 Year WBC World Champion

0 Wins against a World Champion.


Once Joshua beats Povetkin he will have the greatest resume of all the other HW's in the division combined.



If you care to argue with any of the above please do so with facts, not opinions.

 

It's funny how people forget that except for Klitschko, Chisora is Fury's only other significant win!

Whilst Ortiz's best win Jennings, went life and death with Dimitrenko who got destroyed by Parker.

 

I think you responded with this @Manfred .

"Everybody always come with that same on yak when the fact is that Joshua and Hearn could have made that fight if they wanted too. Now that Wilder is about to make some big money without Hearn or Joshua, they wanna start the hating. The squawk was that Wilder didn't and couldn't generate a big money fight. They are being proven wrong and it's not a good look for them."

I'll gladly dissect it.


1. "Everybody always come with that same on yak when the fact is that Joshua and Hearn could have made that fight if they wanted too."

Shelley Finkle refused to make a fight with 'Prospect' Wilder against the same Klitschko which Fury fought.....
Wilder had the WBC strap and 33 fights to his name.....
The same Finkle then helped make 'Even more of a Prospect' Joshua v Klitschko.

Im not saying Hearn/Joshua couldn't make the fight.....
I'm just saying that we have evidence that Finkle/Wilder didn't want the same Klitschko that lost to Fury.

Calling out a man for refusing to unify, when he's less experienced than when you yourself refused to unify, isn't a good look.


2. Now that Wilder is about to make some big money without Hearn or Joshua, they wanna start the hating. The squawk was that Wilder didn't and couldn't generate a big money fight. They are being proven wrong and it's not a good look for them."

Wilder cannot generate 'a big money fight'.
He barely generated $2,000,000 against 'The Bogeyman'......'The 2nd best HW on the planet'.......'The man who everyone is scared of'.
Wilder has 0 PPV's......So where's that big money generating guy?




Less titles.
Less money.
Weaker resume.
Weaker legacy.

No opinions, just facts.

 

I don't see any facts in your statement and I don't elude to any facts in mine. They are only opinions formed on what I have seen and heard and I am of the opinion that if it looks like a duck and walks and quacks like a duck then it's probably a duck.
