Anthony Joshua: I'm not ready for Deontay Wilder yet

[patscorpio]

I get it, but why does Joshua have to fight when Wilder and others says he does? Wilder can't make the the younging fight when HE wants him to. Wilder says he's ready, Joshua and his team says he isn't ready. Why can't he sharpen up his skills before he steps into the ring with a killer like Wilder? Dudes never want to see the business side, it's not always ducking someone. Joshua ain't ready, point blank. Wilder LAYS NIQQAS OUT! Young boy needs to be give the benefit of the doubt.


Not aimed at you breh, just asking.

first of all...peace

i get this but there has to be proactive steps for femi in order to make this fight a reality....he's a young fighter...there's no reason why he shouldn't be fighting 3 times a year..at the same time wilder himself needs to make the fight more enticing on his end because for all his power he is not a draw nor has a victory like the one femi has over wlad..now i understand that its unfortunate the ortiz and povetkin fights fell though and he has to do that BS mandatory with stiverne..but baby steps he needs to get rid of stiverne this time around and have no struggle with the boxing..you and i know power only takes you so far and wilder is a very average boxer outside of his right hand

Peace King!


I'm not a big supporter of Wilder for a few reasons which is neither here nor there, so I felt funny giving him props, but he does lay dudes out. However he is overrated and he needs tune ups also, I think Joshua is ready and I feel he will beat Wilder but that's a dangerous fight for him. Like you said, Joshua SHOULD be fighting 3 times a year, but you know they don't want him to lose his "luster" or his zero, this is where we are now in boxing. Wilder has been doing a lot of talking (promoting himself) but he still has Stiverne problems like you alluded to. Truthfully I don't think Wilder beats Haye

Also, I rather see Joshua and Ortiz.

I do think Femi is the future...hell i even said back in 2015 when Wlad was still champ that Femi would be champion by 2017 which came to pass..and for the belts he has now we do tend to forget he only has 19 fights..Wilder has 37 so of course Wilder would feel restless lol...but Wilder himself took it easy...he's talking like he became heavyweight champion (or fought anyone with a pulse) before his 20th fight ..being undefeated is nice but if youre not fighting the best comp it can ring hollow..hopefully no later than 2019 they build it up..those 2 get the victories/experience needed and fight

 

[The God Poster]

I didn't see a video or quotes of Joshua saying this.

And people like posting that gif out of context. The fight was over and Wilder was just wilding out at the end there. (no pun).



Kinda crazy cuz I think Washington was outboxing him in this but this fight like many others show why Wilder is dangerous even when he may be losing.

Was that at the 17:38 mark?

Because OG....the Joshua stans on here wont admit that Joshua aint ready for that Wilder work.

Instead, they say Joshua destroys Wilder, so if that's the case....we wanna see it happen.

If they said, " Joshua aint ready for Wilder"...then we'd have different convo. However, with them saying stuff like this:

We aint worried about no bum Deontay Wilder, he should just be appreciative of the fact that hes even getting publicity because of UK fighters
He should be appreciative of the fact that Ortiz got popped for PEDs cause that guy would have embarrassed him just like Tyson Fury would embarrass him
Tyson Fury could come back right now and take Wilder to school he is a certified BUM

AJ washes Wilder
Fury washes Wilder
Whyte beats Wilder
Out of prime Haye beats Wilder
Barely-a-heavyweight Bellew outboxes Wilder

get this guy out of here man

...what we supposed to do?

Happy to see #MatthysseMafia finally acknowledge this

if the us media would push wilder like the uk pushes aj the heat would be up to 10*

its not the media's job to do that..you gotta look at the team behind wilder first and see why wilder does not have the type of following femi has

US media would rather destroy and discredit Wilder than praise him for what he has done.
Bronze medal Olympian who started boxing late, undefeated world champion, with one of the highest knockout percentages in the sport, trying to make fights with the elite and being dodged, but taking care of those who get in front of him.

This isn't enough for the US boxing media or fanbase. Same reason they rather support a white Mexican like Canelo more than a gold medal winning boxer and ATG like Ward.

It is what it is, but its pathetic as hell to see how much hate and negativeity nad pushed on Wilder for doing his job, taking out who he is supposed to take out, seeking to fight the best, and defending himself when others unfairly criticizen him.

be angry with the truth brehs

Or annoyed when casuals chime in.

Aint no media discrediting Wilder because theres nothing to discredit a wack resume and a wack fighter that only has one good hand

This bum just wants a payday but he aint got the resume to be flexing like this

 

[Newzz]

a wack fighter that only has one good hand

But yet, after all that, Joshua saying he aint ready for him

He doesn't have to necessarily be dictated to by Wilder but both are in their physical prime and Joshua just took on Vlad so if he was ready for him I don't see why he shouldn't be for Wilder.

yea i guess me and the entire boxing world full of coaches, boxers, reporters and fans is all casuals except you. it's pretty well known that floyd, at some point, started carefully picking opponents instead of #1 contenders and other champs

i didn't say i LIKE the tactic.. but be serious.. floyd fought de la hoya past his prime... a coked up hatton... juan marquez was small and floyd purposely came in 2-3 pounds over weight.. sugar shane past his prime.. canelo before his prime.. pacman past his prime.. last two fights vs washed up berto.. and then a fukking ufc fighter

i never once said every fight he took was bullshyt.. what i said was, at some point, you can't just say "i'm only going to fight the best of the best, even when i think i'm going to lose" IF your goal is to maximize your profits. dude obviously feels he's going to lose.. fukk feelings.. he said with his own mouth that he doesn't want to fight him and he's not ready to fight him..



does it sound like he's making a "let me appease fans and risk a L" OR "let me keep getting these champion checks until i'm forced to fight him"
