    That right hand will land. And unlike 53 year old Klitschko who was coming off a 5 year layoff Wilder would jump on him. Klitschko was being patient and trying to land left hooks instead of putting it all on the line. Wilder would kill him. I promise you Wilder will knock Joshua the **** out if the fight happens. Hearn wants Wilder to fight 5 times in England and sign with him before it happens though.

    I think AJ ducked Wilder because he wanted far more than Parker did. Correct?

    Parker was willing to take less to get the faster shot at AJ. Correct?

    Lets be fair about this ellerbe, dont forget your weakness when it comes to the truth. Then again, thats what makes you ellerbe.

    Parker is a joke. He's not even in the top HW discussion. Joshua will destroy him. Parker is no threat, that's why he wanted to fight Parker. Parker is just a semi-athletic guy with mediocre power. He also has stamina issues so he can't just try and rush and overwhelm Joshua.

    How upset are you that Wilder won?

    Wilders dog ****. Ortiz is way past his physical prime. On last nights performance I give Parker a much better chance v Wilder

    No, I don't understand, because he isn't ducking him. I mean, let's be honest, Joshua is no old, slow man with no guard whatsoever. He's a young, slow man who does have a defense. Ortiz kept his hands away from his face for the majority, he hardly had a defense when hit. If there was one fighter in the heavyweight division at the top that was made for Wilder, it was Ortiz. Anyone who doesn't have good movement and can be setup on, is easy work for wilder. And I still fancy the Klitschko that lost to Joshua to beat Wilder. We saw Ortiz had him in trouble with a few basic combinations. Klitschko lands that big right hand that he did against Joshua and it's goodnight, no doubt about it.

    Against Klitschko, Wilder's defense will let him down. Klitschko is similar, he sets up the right hand just like Wilder. But the experience and those extra few skills gives Klitschko the edge, and I'd fancy him to comfortably beat Wilder.

    Let's just calm ourselves down. At the end of the day, he beat an old man who was perfectly set-up for him to beat.

    Yep this pretty much sums it up.

    Parker asks for 50% but then negotiates down to 40% then to 30-35%.

    While Wilder asks why aren't you fighting me for 50% lol. Only Wilder fans think the best way to negotiate a fight is to price yourself out of a fight, lmao.

    In the meantime Joshua/Parker sees Joshua get an estimated $17.9 mill and Parker get $9.66 mill and Wilder get $2.1 mill vs Ortiz and Wilder fans still likely think Wilder deserves 50/50 and the fight should be in the US, smh.

    Lets be honest that was a bad night for wilder. Ten rounds to dispatch a 63 year old fatty with no movement.

    Joshua is levels above and that was confirmed last night.

    Wilder had a chance to make a statement but just showed what we already knew, he'd be knocked out inside two rounds against AJ if he stops pricing himself out.

    Not upset, deep down i love Wilder because he is so exciting and always has been. That said he bothers the **** out of me because he was the one that didnt want any part of Wlad years ago and years later when he starts getting left out of the picture he acts like that never happened while acting like everybody is ducking him. I hate that stuff.

    The fight i want most is Wilder and AJ because i think they are the top two, NOW that Wilder finally stepped up and succeeded.

    And Parker is not nearly as bad as you make him out to be, i just think AJ is better than him as well as better than Wilder.

    As far as personally who i like most its Parker.

    Wilder is NOT a draw and asks for 50%, that's the problem. If Wilder asked for 40% (which is 10 times more than Wilder ever earned) I think the fight would get made very quickly.

    He is not ducking Wilder. This fight, as planned by Eddie Hearn, will happen this year or early next at the very latest.

    Has Wilder said he wouldn't go below 50%? You're one of the better posters on here so I'd usually trust your posts, but I'm sensing a little UK bias here. Also let's be honest the fans in UK don't give one **** about Parker/Joshua. Be honest would you be even close to as excited as Wilder/Joshua as Parker/Joshua? Wilder/Joshua sells way more.

    Yes.. you usually ask for more than you're worth and negotiate down from there. I don't remember anywhere seeing Wilder saying he does not want to negotiate. Also if you watch recent Hearn interviews about the Wilder fight nothing indicates that Wilder is not willing to negotiate down from 50%. Excuses, excuses.
