deontay wilder vs anthony joshua is OFF

Of course it is - Wilder has NEVER wanted it...

He just likes to pretend he's a man every now and again - and the hopelessly naive Joshua and Hearn fall for it every ****ing time.

 

I'd love to know how you came to the conclusion this is AJ's fault lol.

 

I've been calling this for a long time now. The fact that they floated this concept back in the spring for a date 8 months away showed you out of hand that they were not trusthworthy. Too many things can go wrong and in the meantime you are rotting on the vine as a fighter.

At least Joshua has been active. This year is shaping up to be a disaster for Wilder.

 

He does not like AJ so he presumes it must be his fault.

 

This is boxing in 2023, fight maybe once a year and demand 50 million when you do. Let's be real, there is no heavyweight champion ,if their were one he'd be fighting Joshua, Wilder , Ruiz, Zhang, Ajagba heck anyone with a pulse.

 

Told you

Fury will fight AJ

And Usyk will either get ko'd or duck Wilder

And I will always be a sad ugly horrible person who nobody likes who loves Tyson Fury

 

When the **** was it ever on in the first place but it dam sure got all the usual gullible hookies spinning their tail lmao

 

When the Saudi's started dangling money last spring, it basically put the division on standstill. They screwed it up for everyone.

All the boxers should walk away. The Saudis are just a bunch of coked up billionaires who can't focus on any one thing.

Both fighters negotiated with the Saudis separately. Hearn mentioned the other day he believed Wilder had agreed to terms on a Joshua fight with the Saudis. Joshua's side is the one that couldn't come to terms with them. But I don't really blame Hearn, either.

Hearn has dealt with them the most in recent years. He probably saw the trouble (maybe the Saudis billionaires were more stoned and unfocused than normal) so he kept Joshua busy on the side.

Wilder spent the year waiting for Joshua. Wilder's in camp right now. He's always fit and ready to go. On the flip side, any other contender Wilder would likely face now (who isn't Joshua) hasn't been too active this year, either.

It's sort of been a lost year. The Saudi era for boxing turned out to be a Jake Paul-Tommy Fury fight and Tyson Fury vs an MMA guy.

Now that Usyk has signed with them, I don't know what's going to happen. Usyk was only fighting once a year as a heavyweight as it is.

If Usyk has to wait for the Saudis to put on shows, we may not see him again for years (I'm only partially kidding). Because they aren't exactly churning out events right and left, like they claimed they would earlier this year.

Let the Furys have the Saudis.

The rest of the sport should move on in the meantime.

 

I'm kinda with you there.

Usyk just signed a deal with the Saudis. He was only fighting once a year as a heavyweight before that.

If he has to wait for the Saudis to wake up out of their drug-induced stupors and also sit around while new arenas are built before making fights with guys like Hrgovic, he may not be fighting much anymore himself.

Time for everyone else to quit waiting around.

When Wilder and Joshua were champs, people complained about a lack of a unification, but at least they defended a lot. Wilder had 12 title fights in five years (between January 2015 and January 2020). Joshua had nine title fights in a little less than four years (March 2016 to December 2019).

I don't know how long it's going to be again before we see a heavyweight division where there are 21 titles fights in less than five years again ... particularly at the rate Usyk and Fury are going ... but whatever momentum the division had built back then is a memory now.

The heavyweight division in the 2020s officially tanked in 2023. Hopefully, we've hit rock bottom.

Because it can't get much lower than this.

 

Naoya Inoue's the only dude in boxing that's not only chasing the smoke, but actually make the fights without any drama.

**** the heavyweight division.

 

The fight was never even close to reality, one is wishful thinking and the other is reality, this should have been the fight of the decade 5-6 years ago while both men had belts in their possession...

 

Inoue has no money incentive even worse is he has no money options which is the sad state of affairs for midgets in boxing.

If Inoue could fight a small Mexican MMA fighter named Padro "el salvador papi" Enrique the third for $30m, he'd drop all his belts bend over backwards and suck off a horse to do so.

 

True.

 

Money always wins

As such the Saudi's have to find a lot of money, around $100m maybe even more to get Fury Usyk made and that's what it will always be.

Usyk can cry about it because he would fight Fury for relatively little money, only because he has no options and it's what he's always known.

If the Saudi's keep paying up $30m for Fury to fight MMA guys he doesn't have to train for and can mess around with he's always going to take it....meanwhile it's down to the rest of the crop to deal with themselves and guess what...they all ALSO chase the money!
