I wouldnt say that he was finished, he is only 30 ffs!
People have won titles in their 40's before. This fight will tell us whether he still has the minerals to compete with the best in the division though I guess.

I said finished at the very top level. The percentages are so small and crucial there that being out of the ring for a couple of years sniffing gear and piling on stones will have an effect.

As I say it is more a gut feeling than anything else
 
Yeah I probably should have put the Joshua camp, instead of just Joshua.
The Joshua camp said he shouldn't fight Klitshko but he did. Don't think he's the one bottling the Wilder fight. He's got no reason to dodge anyone, as he's the best around.

Nothings gonna ever keep him down :emoticon-0159-music

Seriously though, I dont think we can say that until he beats the winner of tomorrows fight, then it will be undisputed.
 
Well it's not like Fury is a nobody, he was the undisputed champion before he was stripped of his titles.

Your first line is pure BS. He hasn't been offered **** deals at all, he offered him a 50-50 split, same as he offered Fury, and why not? They are both Champions, and both undefeated. IMO all fights should be 50-50, both men are in that ring fighting.
If Joshua really wants to prove himself the best in the division, he would take the fight regardless, to unify all the belts. There is a **** ton of money in that anyway, regardless of the purse on offer for the fight itself.
50-50 split is an absolute **** deal - Joshua made £20M in his last fight while Wilder made £1.5M.

WTF would Joshua who holds 3 belts need to bow down before Wilder who only holds 1?

Either way Joshua will be fighting at Wembley on 13 April 2019 - will be interesting to see who he will be facing.

Because Joshua wants all 4 and to unify the division. To do that he needs Wilder's belt, he probably needs the fight more than Wilder. What they made in their previous fights is irrelevant, it is this fight they are negotiating and if it is to be at a big venue like Wembley and earn millions then offering Wilder some token amount and saying "well last time you only earnt a fiver" is complete bullshit.

It will be Whyte in April I reckon

See that just sounds like an excuse to me.
If he wants to be the undisputed heavyweight champion, he would take whats on offer, and stop quibbling over a few quid.

How come the reverse isn't the case? Why isn't Wilder getting blasted for not taking what is on offer and to stop quibbling over a few quid?

Parker took a 35% split and made £8M which is more then Wilder made in his last 6 fights combined.

Because it doesnt get fairer than 50-50 mate.
They are both undefeated World Champions.
The fact that more knob jockeys cream their knickers over Joshua is neither here nor there.
There's quibbling over a few quid, and then there is bending over and letting yourself get arse ****ed.

If fair is what you are after then Joshua holds 3 world titles and Wilder holds 1, they are fighting in Joshua's back yard in front of the majority of his fans so 75-25 would be most appropriate right?

Only if, when punching, Joshua can use only 25% of his strength, and Wilder 75%.
Then its fair.

Polovken made £6M in the last fight at Wembley - is more then a fiver.
