Are people less interested in watching Anthony Joshua fight Deontay Wilder now that he has lost?

Still want to see that fight. Want Wilder to land that right to AJ's face to expose how overpaid AJ was all these years.

 

Nothing will please more than watching the battle worn bodybuilder beaten to a bloody pulp by the devastating bronze bomber! Some close sources from the bomb squad tell me, he might get that opportunity soon, once those shiny belts are out of his possession for good!

 

Fight of the two big bangers with shaky defence, chin will be interesting in any day. AJ looks more vulnerable now, but he can land the 1st bomb, so this fight is still competitive.

 

I would watch it if I had the option. But often it's a matter of "not available in your region," and that includes DAZN and BoxNation.

 

Actually I was never thrilled about this matchup because both guys are uninteresting.

Looking back, Lennox Lewis was so underappreciated.

 

Two chinless over hyped hard punchers and one is definitely getting kod. It still would be satisfying watching one them brutalized. I think wilder brutally stops Joshua early like twitching on the canvas stoppage with medics and stretcher being called in and all of us being worried if he pulls through or not.

 

I appreciate the subtlety of you description.

 

Still interested yes but it’s not as intriguing as before.

 

MSG acting like it’s a super fight lol

 

Of course. It will still be an explosive fight. People are crapping on Joshua but he got up every time. He doesn't lack heart but maybe didn't have the best strategy for the Ruiz fight. I still think Joshua-Wilder is a viable fight.

 

It has taken a bit of the shine off the possible match-up.

 

Off course! If AJ beats Ruiz impressively or even knock him out in the rematch like Lennox vs Rahman II then people will definitely be more interested to watch AJ vs Wilder next. But If Ruiz KO AJ again in the rematch then AJ vs Wilder won't happen.

 

For now, yes. If Joshua wins the Ruiz rematch, then we're back to the Wilder fight.

 

People probably haven't lost interest, but are likely less tolerant of the ton of BS associated with making it happen.

It's not a fight that people are prepared to take interest in a year long saga leading to it eventually happening, I suspect.

Ruiz/Fury would be just as intriguing, if not more.

Wilder/Joshua had a 'bird in the hand' and they dropped it for the chance of 'two in the bush'. All birds are flying away now.

 

It's still a big fight but it will never ever be as big as it was.
