...the same interest he's showing on Joshua?
It's obvious when he saw AJ dismantled Klitsch in a spectacular see-saw battle and in a glittering celebratory environment in the UK, he felt envious.
Let's face it, AJ is huge today because of Klitschko.
Take away the Ukrainian superstar in the equation, AJ would still be a nobody.
Well, fans who don't like the way Wilder is behaving, then you just have to hope one of them gets upset by their interim opponents. Everything will be set back 5 years. Would be terrible finding cab drivers for five years while waiting for the superfight to materialize.
I actually want to see AJ gets upset by his next opponent.
Either a rematch would likely happen, or Parker being worse A-side to Beyontay.
Anything that would delay Wilder/Joshua.
We'll see what Wilder will do in the interim.
Fight more bums.
Answer is obvious. He didn't think he can beat Wlad.
Or he was waiting for Klitschko to beg for the fight. Just like he's behaving now with Joshua. He's got sense of entitlement based on beating Stiverne and Arreola.

Interesting part was Beyontay never even gave AJ props for fighting and beating Klitsch when this is the guy he was terrified of fighting.
Insulting part is he wants 50/50.
Man he should be begging for the fight and not behave like AJ's Klitsch win was nothing.

Look at what it meant for the father and son team,
Danny and Angel, beating a washed up but boxing great
Erik Morales.
Fast-forward at around 13:20 in the post fight interview.
Klitschko was very disappointed when the Fury rematch was canceled.
He was desperate for a replacement fight and he could have accepted Kingkong at that point.
Beyontay never stepped up.
When Klitsch was introduced by Hearn in a AJ post fight, the Ukrainian veteran was like on cloud 9 finally getting a dance partner that he sorely needed for his retirement fight.
And where was Beyontay all those times?
He's looking for another nobody he could easily bully.
Beyontay is a huge disgrace in the heavyweight division.
He had too much respect for klitschko. didn't want to renovate his face with the mach 10 force windmill mode. He hopes for panieterres muff
:boxing::boxing::boxing:
I don't disagree with that at ally just wanted to say Pac was very much washed up by the time horn fought him
Washed up or not, look at the positive things it did on Horn's career.
Again, Fury and AJ did exactly that and achieved fame by beating a top guy who ruled the division for many years regardless of the state Klitschko was in.
Wilder vs Klitschko could have been easily made just as the AJ vs Wlad was.
Point was Wilder didn't have the same fire as Horn, Fury and AJ.
Danny and Angel Garcia were crying when Swift beat a shot Morales as if they beat Glovkin.
Swift got his first name recognition right there by just beating a totally washed up Morales.
Difference was Horn was angry when Pac tried to dismiss him and fight other fighters.
Wilder never even showed any interest, much less anger, in chasing a washed-up Klitschko. He was clearly scared of facing the aging Wlad.

Wilder wasn't keen on fighting Vladimir because he could get embarrassed and the hype could end abruptly.
He and Haymon, with Showtime backing, had the same access to Klitschko as Joshua and Hearn did.
They didn't want to take risk even though it's a natural way of taking over the mantle.
PBC is a huge joke in boxing.
Pac was in decline and pretty much washed up since Bradley 1,everybody knows this, as soon as he stopped throwing 80-100 per fight he was declining and not the same fighter anymore, the old manny never hesitated to throw shots

The WBC champ wasn't ready and needed to hone his craft LOLOLOL. Pathetic!!!
B!tch should've vacated if he didn't have the balls to fight the real champ.
Tell that to Tank Davis,the same story not ready to fight top competition despite having 200+ amateur fights, these people need to stay away from the belts if they ain't ready to fight top fighters instead of holding these belts hostage,make sure you good and ready before you content for a world title or go play golf
It’s simple his team didn’t think he was ready. And they were probably right. But it’s not like there was any public pressure on that fight either. Not the same situation we are having here.
I honestly believe his team didn't think he was ready for Haye, Wlad or even Povetkin. That Povetkin fight was delayed many times before it was finally signed. He moved in his own time and his own pace, this is why am laughing at all these posters in regards to Joshua fighting him in America next. Joshua would move at his own time and pace too as the A-side, not when Wilder wants him to move.
Why would wilder be ready now, he hasn't really upped his level of competition has he
They're not as huge as the Klitschko fight.
Good thing that happened in the Klitsch fight was that AJ fought a live dog that could still bite.
AJ got KD'd and no one could say it's a cherrypicked fight against a washed up retiring fighter.
It's almost the same as Horn beating Pac.

Part of the problem is because he's with the Haymon culture of not maximizing star potential. He's been fine with it like Adonis.
Fact that none of the Haymon fighters are PPV materials even to this day.
Just imagine him with Arum, for example.
He would have been like the Jeff Horn of the heavyweight division.
It's comical Beyontay is the one chasing the superfight with AJ, and not the other way around.
Hilarious!
Beyontay and his management team, which included Haymon, didn't think he could beat Klitschko!
Haymon and his fighters are the biggest jokes in boxing.
Beontay Wilder is one of the biggest jokes in boxing.
Two years he took his time and showed no interest in fighting the big boys.
He saw AJ dismantle Klitsch whom Beontay would have never thought of fighting.
And now he's putting pressure on someone he himself would have dismissed if the tables were turned.
Man this sport has lots of clowns in it.
Not a good time to be a fan.
This guy wasted 2 years and now wants a shortcut to fame because he's feeling left out, finally.
