Why did Wilder duck Klitschko?

Come on. He wants Joshua now, when he's seen as damaged goods. In 2019, pre Ruiz, he turned down 100 mil to fight him.

 

Again you bang on about context but are highly in consistent. Wlad lost to Joshua at 41 when he was inactive (and still nearly beat him). This was also Joshua at his best, not the shell of him that exists today. Joshua imo is not one of Wlad’s two best opponents either.

I still don’t understand how you can throw the Fury ‘draw’ around. Fury was robbed and had been coming off 3 years of inactivity and Wilder still couldn’t beat him. He was in no shape to be in the ring that night against a world class fighter yet he made Wilder look silly throughout the fight.

Wlad dropped Wilder at Will in sparring because he was all wrong for him. Wilder has faced 0 huge punchers in his career, the only big puncher he faced was Ortiz who was already slipping when they fought.

Wlad’s legacy and resume are leagues above Wilder’s and there’s a reason that he will be remembered as a far greater heavyweight in the history books. Your entire argument is laced with bias.

 

Klitschko
Joshua
Potvenetkin
Whyte
Ruiz
He could have fought anderson wont
Bakole wont
He wants the mma fighter
Wilder cv was exposed long ago

 

Wlad was over the hill when they had their real fight. Also, I believe when they sparred Joshua was pretty green. Hard to say what would've happened had they faced earlier than they actully did.

 

16 months or so after the fury fight and the collapse of the rematch which fury ran from
As the testing and sales weren't favorable to him
So aj jumped at it other wise it could have been longer for aj
And respective fights were night and day
One a snooze fest one a real back and fourth

 

Why do you hate wilder so much ?

 

Because his shaky chin would've been shattered into a million pieces just like it was in sparring

 

Wlad KOd Wilder badly in sparring.

Like really bad.

Why would he want to hand his belt over to Wlad

 

Nobody would spar Wilder if he tried to flatline them like he does in a real fight. He was there to learn. Do you understand the concept of sparing?

 

Say what you will about Wilder but there’s no denying he has incredible heart and is a warrior through and through. I think he would fight anyone, I just feel like he was steered away from Wlad by his team (as it was a very dangerous fight). Anyways calling Wilder a coward is just plain ridiculous.

 

I don’t think Wilder himself was afraid of Wlad, I think his team and promoters kept him away as they knew it was very dangerous. Wlad did drop him several times in sparring (according to the reports), but Joey Dwatjko dropped AJ according to some. It’s not completely relevant and the ring is a very different place during a real fight. I think Wlad was stylistically wrong for Wilder, but sparring is sparring at the end of the day.

 

Wilder never ducked Wlad, in fact there was never an opportunity to make the fight even. Wilder won his title on January 17th, and a day later on the 18th Klitschko vs Jennings was announced for April. After the Jennings win, Klitschko immediately said that he will fight Fury later in the year, initially for October, later rescheduled for November.

Well know you could say, why didn't the fight happen in 2016? Klitschko was busy the entire year with the Fury rematch, which we all know never materialized. Later on in December the Joshua fight was set for April of 2017. Wilder back then was busy with Povetkin, which again didn't happen.

So yeah, it's unjustified to say Wilder ducked Wlad.

 

Fair rationalization, but I'm not buying the Wilder as mainly a pupil argument.

Almost a disaster for AJ. He almost lost to a much older and well past prime Wlad. If Wlad was a few years younger, he likely finishes AJ well before Snickers Andy did.

 

I agree . He is a warrior , he has heart . He is explosive , he gives the unpredictability and excitement in his fights - all we want to see in the ring .

Why hate such an athlete ?
