Has Wilder suddenly become the “A Side” against AJ?

[smashup]

AJ brings way more money than Wilder and has more belts so AJ is the A side no question.
This could be over in a few rounds when it happens and for me it's 50 - 50 who wins.
Might come down to who can climb off the floor and keep on going, this could be a real Heavyweight classic

I agree its 50/50 I constantly make an argument for one to win it and then counter it with an argument for how the other can win it.
I do think though that when one of them get hit they will stay hit, when AJ was dropped and when Wilder was hurt the old men didn't have the energy to finish it, that won't be the case in this fight, as soon as one of them it in danger it will be finished pretty sharpish I reckon.

Spot on

Bit of an odd thing to say, Master. I do not identify with the extreme right. It is the extreme wrong that I have a problem with.

My issue with Joshua is that he is pampered and protected. Beating a beaten Wlad of 40 fresh off a layoff and a loss isn't the big deal it is made out to be. I want to see him in with an undefeated, fresh lion and my hunch is that he comes unstuck.

I like Wilder. He is lippy but from the heart. I like the lack of media training, he seems like he is for real. He has also shown a refusal to be beaten and think that heart runs deep. He's hungry and will tear Joshua up. He will unleash the windmill as Joshua gases and he always gasses.

Ignore Master, he has no understanding of context, nuance, sublte sarcasm or humour. Keep it on topic @Master

Wilder-Joshua popularity?
A-side-B-side?
$2m-vs-$25m?
8000-vs-80,000 tickets?
Zero PPV-vs-3 million PPV sales?
Klitschko-Ortiz?

I wouldn't like to put all my money on the outcome of this fight , everybody keeps saying how poor Wilder is but he keeps on winning .
He is sharp all be it unorthodox , but his power is deadly.
I will pay to see the outcome for sure.

The only way Wilder has a sniff of getting close to being 'The A side' is in a rematch after he absolutely clatters Joshua in a first fight. Even then the best he can hope for is 50/50. I'm not sure why people think beating Ortiz changes anything?

True but I'd posit that the opposition he has faced has provided him the opportunity to be caught in certain situations yet recover. Someone will capitalize on his mistakes in the future...I'm thinking Anthony Joshua is that dude, but we will see the fight HAS to happen.



As a boxing fan I just want the fight to happen as soon as possible. We're past the up & comer stage, we're past the challenger stage, we're champion vs champion right now and the fight is not going to get any bigger than what we have right now. Make the fight right now or this fight spoils on the vine like so many before it. This is a golden opportunity for boxing to get back into the mix of things, be more relevant have some brand names out there!



If this fight happens before 2020 I'll be shocked.

Leave it to boxing fans to rag on what they want.
Sharpshooter? We call them boring.
Balls to the walls Fireshooter? We call them wild and unprofessional.

Now I'm that old dude..remembering when Holyfield was crapped on...because (HE) only fought old men.
Not because he wanted to or bad management....hell if top contenders lost to the old ass Holmes & Forman--what was Holy to do ?

IMO same with Wilder.
I wonder do any of us fans question....when was the last time Wilder said

"I'll fight him...IF THE MONEY IS RIGHT?" He fought a high-risk-low-reward fight...knowingly.
Dude is as you state Darklord...Sharp...but unorthodox as muthatrucker!!!!
I love it!

I wonder in HW HISTORY has there ever been a Champ that had
A. Killer Power B. Superb Reflexes. C. SharpShooter D. Endurance E. Chin?
Seems everyone missed something up there...then made up for it when shit hits the fan.
Seems like every TOP HW champ of the past usually got their toughest fight from the unlikeliest of challenges.

We got 2 Young dogs. both undefeated. Both likeble-not the brash Mayweather...dryHopkins sense of humor.
Neither are easily to dislike _think Broner.
Both got power.
Both can be hurt.
Both willing to leave it all in the ring.

Leave it to fans to find something wrong with that.

We haven't always agreed DarkLord...But I had to log in to agree with you...if ya don't mind!!
