    AJ isdumb enough to claim he's better than Fury because he beat Wilder & Wlad by KO. LOL

    Nah. Taylor made for Wilders right hand, and that's assuming he doesn't walk out the ring before the bell chimes.

    It is shocking to me that I am going to defend Wilder a bit--me of all people--but if he really did legit have an injury he got fixed, and he can come back humble about his limitations and well-trained, I don't see why he can't beat a couple of Harper-level guys and be good for one more big fight, against AJ or someone else.

    I'm not his biggest fan, but there's no denying he has heart and has accomplished what few people on earth ever will. Gotta respect that.

    Better later than never I guess. This is probably the last opportunity to make the fight.

    Shows you the priorities of team Matchroom - Wilder was a no-go while the cash cow was full of milk.

    People really think Wilder ducked Joshua to fight ****ing Luis Ortiz twice for a fraction of the money?

    No one has ever, ever fought a power punching Cuban southpaw instead of facing a Brit cash cow for 10x the money.

    Harper used to be tailor-made for a Wilder right hand. But Wilder’s knocking on 40 now and hasn’t had a convincing performance since 2021 or a convincing win since 2019. I think he’s totally and utterly shot and there’s a good chance he will fail to stop Harper.

    It's coming to late but I would still watch, wilder will be all defensive and will wait until he gets an opening before he cracks Joshua on the jaw, he knows he will only need to land it once, then follows up and Kos him.

    He put helenius out with a lazy short right hand. Imo Zhang and Parker were just bad match ups, but there's nothing to suggest Wilder can't spark this guy in round 1.

    Ah yes, the myth of the incredible Ortiz. The power punching cuban southpaw! So scary! What a load of BS. Just like Ortiz's garbage resume.

    Also Wilder ducked Joshua to fight Fury, not Ortiz. Even though he was offered bigger money to fight Joshua. Wilder even admitted to it himself

    Wonder why that was?

    You have 3 posts and one is in reply to me. A fan account.

    Yeah, everyone ducked Joshua: the glass jawed cash cow who could be outboxed, outbrawled, or flatlined. Everyone was terrified of career high paydays. Imagine being such a great big fan you believe that.

    Wilder didn't want to fight AJ as shown by him declining every offer and admitting to it publicly :p

    I hope they do fight.

    50/50. Even though Wilder is shot to ribbons AJ will be very cautious of the right hand and may get slept early.
