Will Deontay Wilder overcome his fear of Anthony Joshua now, and finally be willing to fight him?

    Deontay Wilder lost an enormous payday, by far the biggest of his career, by being afraid to fight Anthony Joshua.

    The money will be less for a future fight. But do you think Wilder will no longer be terrified of Joshua and be willing to face him, now that the Englishman has been stopped and seems more vulnerable?

    No one will fear AJ now. A lot of fighters will fancy taking on AJ after last night's performance.

    The funny thing is wilder would even take 40 percent now while AJ has no belts because the fear is gone ahahah

    We can only hope and the answer is more likely bc he doesn't take fights without thinking he sees a weakness.

    Not sure if the fight is smaller now, Wilder is still undefeated ( officially )and Joshua wasn't really knocked out but lost and can / will get those belts back.

    This could in theory create a huge mega fight still. Lets not forget we all know wilder also lost not long ago to Fury and that's a non power puncher out of top competition for 3 years . lol

    what does change is WHERE they actually would fight ? IF Wilder steps up ?

    Wilder will never have the courage to face Joshua in the UK.

    Any fight would need to be in the USA, with Wilder having a home referee and dodgy judges as usual.

    What fear? Wilder never feared AJ. He wanted a rightful share of the purse and rightfully so.

    I still want to see Wilder face a PRIME decent heavyweight. He's never done so.

    Joshua has faced several prime top 10 heavyweights.

    AJ's intimidation factor is looooong gone

    I see vegetation growing outside, opportunities arising, broad smiles, Ruiz in the background eating tacos, some heavyweights in the far distance huddled together discussing plans of some sort and rejoicing.

    I hear Enya music as well.

    The AJ stans are in denial. They think AJ's clout is still intact.

    Wilder and Fury would both have exposed AJ, Ruiz got in first.
