    Because none of them really want to.

    Parker declined:

    Povetkin fell through:
    https://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/story/...iled-drug-test

    Which leaves who other than Whyte? Ruiz? Eh...maybe but Ruiz hasn't really shown any desire for that fight since his loss of his title.

    Whyte is the only one who I feel Wilder should have fought by now. But, again, my earlier point still stands...

    You need to realize that guys like Arreola, Stiverne, Spitzka and co. aren't really much farther down the rankings than the people I mentioned. Ortiz and Fury are also above many of the aforementioned too.

      Stop it. Parker was unifying with Joshua and Povetkin still wanted to fight. What about the proceeding years? They duck top 10 fighters to cherry pick further down. It's a fact.

          Why would he choose Wilder when he Wilder was making $2 mil at the time instead of Joshua? The Hughie fight was to set up the Joshua one. Make 1 or 2 mil or make 8+ tough choice.

Fury STOLE the shine from Wilder vs AJ. Most of Fury fans rejoice because an Ogre slob who just imposes weight and showboats reach was able to beat a loud mouth twerking Thug. Many fans enjoyed that. I never had a dog in the rematch tbh, because the fight I really wanted from the get go was Wilder vs AJ for True Undisputed.

            I also don't like, as you said, how Tyson Fury doesn't get slack from industry writers about Nandrolone for a post fight urine test. He was in layman's terms fighting Christian Hammer from the benefits of anabolic steroids. I don't know when Fury was LAST tested before his fight for Hammer, but he failed his locker room test. Meanwhile we've got former pro-LDBC guests like Breadman Edwards who continuously brings up PEDS on Canelo, which technically, Canelo passed all pre and post tests for fights.

            Obvious agendas much? I'm going to take a wild guess... Breadman gives Fury a pass because Sugar Hill is with him?
            You can't pick and choose cheaters, I don't like ANY cheater, that includes Tyson Fury and Canelo. I don't care that the WBC amended clenbuterol as you like to say, it is still a PED that in the United States of America you would get arrested for if you had it. Same for nandrolone they are both illegal substances.

                I mean, seriously?

                I wouldn`t even bet on them to beat Wilder.

                So what huge "resume" is that.

                I think Ruiz would be easier for Fury than Wallin was.
                That's the problem though isn't it. You say WOULD and WOULDN'T but these fighters are all top 10 guys that add nice meat to a top fighters resume and they all been fighting as long as Fury and Wilder have been about and yet only Joshua can say he DID. Saying WOULD when you COULD but DIDN'T means FKK all. Heavy weight isn't a very deep division so really by now both Fury and Wilder SHOULD have these guys on their resume too. But they don't.
                ​​​​​​
                So im not interested in what WOULD or WOULDN'T happen all I notice is it HASNT.

                  How can he turn down what wasn't offered? Did Wilder make an official offer? No he didn't you ****ing tard. He knew parker was fighting Joshua so mentioned his name in the press. Mentioning a name in the press doesn't erase the avoidance of top 10 fighters. Which Wilder has clearly done.

                    There are people here who chit on Tyson Fury's win over Wladimir Klitschko, at the time the longest-reigning Heavyweight champion, in his own backyard, after an unprecedented Lineal title reign. Those same people laud Anthony Joshua's win over an inactive, old, vanquished Klitschko like it is an ATG accomplishment. Just shows you the madness of these idiots. Wouldn't surprise me if some of them quote this comment and try to argue their nonexistent point.

                      I’ve never seen a fighter get credit for fighters he would supposedly beat them, and he doesn’t have to fight them because of that. Lol that is not how resumes work bro.

                      Look...I think no current HW beats an in shape Fury who is sober and actually active and serious about boxing like he was in the Wilder rematch.

                      But...he should get credit for fighting them. Not for beating them in fantasy fights.

                      Imagine I, who works in IT, start putting on my resume:

                      Microsoft Engineer - “Never worked here, but i’m sure if I worked here, i’d be an excellent employee”

                      US Department of Defense - Information Technology Specialist - “Never worked here either, but again, if I did, i’d be amazing. They would love me for sure.”

                      Federal Bureau of Investigations - Cyber Security Specialist - “As you have guessed with my resume by now, I haven’t actually worked here. But I’d be a damn good employee if I did.”

                      Education:

                      Princeton University - Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. “Never attended this school. But if I wanted to, I could have. I chose a State University of New York school because I didn’t want to show my true powers. I would have graduated from Princeton summa cum laude though.”
