Wilder for as awful as he is with the craft of boxing is a better brawler than AJ. Wilder again putting aside his below average skill is actually a freak of nature when it comes to speed and power. AJ is not greatly skilled either but he is slow, plodding and though he has a massive physique doesn't really have much to show for it. And another thig about Wilder that is freaky is that those damn awful windmills can knock anyone out, which is really effin freaky. **** like that isn't supposed to happen. Thus I'd take Wilder easy.
Joshua losing definitely brings down the ceiling of what Joshua/Wilder could now make, you no longer have 2 undefeated heavyweight champions unifying. Joshua will find it very hard to grow his brand in the US, he'll now be seen as another china chinned Brit heavyweight in a long line of such British heavyweights. And with a lot of Wilder's profile growing off of Joshua's brand this does hurt him. He now only has a another weak British heavyweight to unify with if Joshua regains his belts in the rematch, fans won't see a unification as big as before, throw in the fact many thought Wilder lost to Fury and casuals will see 2 weak heavyweight champions unifying. Suffice to say we can forget Wilder and Finkel's dream of making this as big as Mayweather/Pac it will never be that big now, not even remotely close. It will still make a ton of money but Wilder can forget about making 100 mill for Joshua.
Let’s see Joshua has Wlad, Parker and Povetkin. Wilder has Fury who beat Wlad, Ortiz who is old like Povetkin and considered more of a threat they both have **** resumes to be honest. Only difference is Wilder still has his 0 and belt. Oh and he didn’t spit his gum shield out like a ***** and get No Mas’d by Ruiz. Call the suicide hotline that boy quit he’s gonna commit suicide next.
It's a good point. AJ was basically becoming an industry himself. A giant cash cow. So many giant fights vanished into thin air tonight. I'm thinking of Hearn the most actually. He in particular must have had so many plans.
This is great for boxing. With Hearn owning the belts it was rows of cherry picks. Ruiz with his Mexican heritage is unlikely to cherry pick, although I'm pretty sure he eats cherry, in his pies, after his plates of burgers washed down with beer and Tequila.
I’m sure Hearn knows his boxing and I’m sure he’s seen the same vulnerabilities that we all saw with AJ. This incident is a stark lesson to all, strike while the iron is hot!
All the big boys lost out last night. Wilder's superfight down the drain, Joshua's stock taking a massive hit. Fury vs Joshua off the table. It's Usyk's time to dive in and make himself the man.
Best part is that Wilder was laughing at Joshua's loss. One of the most twisted things I have seen in boxing in a long time.
He doesn't know how to react its killing him inside LOL Wilder is feeling regret because if he just believed in himself he would of been the one knocking AJ out and unifying and becoming a global star and also earning huge amount of money gosh that must hurt LOL
You and your lover. Your addiction to Whyte is astonishing and borderline psychopathic. Out of all the fighters to be such a fanboy of. But no, Whyte didn't loose. That fight will always be there. They could both loose their next 5 in a row and still make big money fighting each other.
