    Joshua will have all the title except Haymon's WBC title, so Joshua is worth more than Wilder, Vlad is a superior fighter than Ortiz, far superior...................after Joshua knocks Parker out, he should go ahead and knock Wilder out ASAP! I have no doubt that Joshua will knock Wilder out, esp. since an old, sich, 50 year old man almost knocked Wilder out! Joshau is bigger, stronger, hits harder with both hands, has better jab, harder puncheer, better more compact combinations, better chin, Wilder has not real defense, when Joshua gets Wilder into trouble, Wilder will get knocked out cold.................

    UK fans and general peasantry are well known as the most Nationalistic peasants on the face of Earth, maybe the USA and Mexican nationalists come second.

    There is a positive correlation between the depth of a state and nationalism, the UK is the oldest state on Earth, the peasants kept breeding under that state for more than 5 centuries, so if you can associate anything to the British flag you will Reebok it, the USA, Mexico depth of the state is almost two centuries, Russia about a century, the rest of the nations either have smaller state nationalism or once strong nationalism that been humbled...

    Well it does mean something. Why should the fighter who brings all the money to the table take less than his worth. Wilder fighting AJ gets his biggest payday by far even if he took 30% so cant be complaining

    Good grief, does Ellerbe really believe this?

    If AJ and Wilder had any sense at all they'd make the fight before Fury mugs Wilder of his belt.

    I doubt Wilder will rematch Fury. He will fight someone like Brezeale or worse and play hard to get vs. AJ.

    The only thing guaranteed about the thread was you were drunk when you created it and continued to drink while posting in it which is obvious like most of your posts which are way off base and out of touch to whats actually happening. :copas:

    The best thing about this thread is the fact Wilder demanded 50% or no fight not long after in March when you posted this , and he's STILL.demanding 50% and is on record saying he's worth 60% but will settle for 50% , and you talk about ducking ? :imwithstupid:

    A quote by ✔@LennoxLewis
    "This is the biggest bout in division. It will be BOTH of their highest paydays ever. You don’t offer a check for this fight. You offer a split. I say 60/40 in AJ’s favour, maybe even 70/30, but not a flat fee. I took less to face Holyfield because i wanted to be undisputed!"

    I think you are partly correct. Also, note Wilder's age ( 33 ). He'll be old soon, and I think we've seen his best, so Joshua might wait another year or two to take this fight. I hear Wilder want to fight a mediocre Brazeale next, and that's a shame but par of the course for him. Fury beat Wilder, most of boxing knows it

    What good is a talented champion like Joshua who won't face the best young talent only OLD men or borderline top ten fighters? This is what I can't wait for the next germination to take over. Might happen by 2020.
