Joshua ducked Fury and Wilder

[ShaneMosleySr]

Joshua gave Wilder a terrible offer no one would take.

Joshua turned down the biggest purse in heavyweight history to fight Wilder.

Wilder and Fury actually fought each other and called out Joshua for ducking both of them after their fight.

Wilder and Fury then fought each other again.

The only time Joshua entered negotiations with either one was when he was well aware arbitration would prevent the fight from happening.

Quack quack quack quack.

Maybe he can fight a 45 year old, a 300-pounder or a crusierweight next. He loves those fights.

youre either a moron or a haymon pbc disinformation troll. I'd reckon you are both.

This is much closer to reality than the Joshua fan spin, which is insane an ignores a court order.

youre either a moron or a haymon pbc disinformation troll. I'd reckon you are both.

The big fights involving Aj never get made with Eddie, AJ-Wilder and AJ-Fury. Eddie keeps fooling the gullible and brainwashed with washed up fighters and then convinces them that he's doing all the work trying to make the big fights happen but it's the other side's fault. people are starting to wake up to Eddie's games.

Ducked? Doubt it.

But never really needed or wanted to commit to fighting them. People cite the Wilder DAZN offer a million times as if there isn't a wealth of literally googleable information in which Skipper (DAZN's chief) acknowledged the deal was a poor one. It was for like 3 fights and couldn't guarantee a Joshua fight either (the Ali Act means networks cant force matchups). I legit think Wilder was enticed by it but Haymon talked him out in the end. Say what you want about Haymon, but given the fact that Wilder made 36m for getting his ass handed to him, Canelo has gone on to sue DAZN and Golden Boy for his own 300m DAZN deal failing to actually live up to the lofty amounts promised and Joshua subsequently losing shortly after said deal was offered, I'm gonna go onto acknowledge that there is a pretty good reason why fighters remain loyal to him.

I also don't think Hearn and Joshua were particularly keen on the Fury fight either. I don't think they did duck or would duck...but I do believe they're much happier taking on "soft touch" opponents like Ruiz or Whyte again. A tell tale sign of whether I am right or wrong will be whether Joshua actually takes on Usyk next. If he doesn't and his fanboys try and justify it then I'll gladly say he ducked all three. That will cement it for me. TBH for a portion of the British boxing public who have (rather unfairly) soured on him lately, it will likely do the same for them too. Joshua/Pulev didn't do that well. I think the fights between both Wilder and Fury and even Joe Joyce and Dubois has shown that there are too many live dogs in the division to continue conning the public into watching fights between AJ and 40+ year olds. Another fight with someone like Whyte will likely bomb. Its at this point that they'll happily get in the ring with the divisions more dangerous opponents.

Wilder would've made 100 million for the deal with DAZN/Joshua. Instead he made 60 million in that same span. Really good business.

[Monzon99]

wilder did mot make $60 in his entire career, not even close to that.

[Monzon99]

wilder ducked $120 m to fight AJ and fury just faked like he wanted AJ for a year, only to run away at the end to fight the big alabama fraud again for much less money.

[Robbie Barrett]

Wilder admitted to turning down more money to fight Joshua and chose Fury instead. Hearn gets so much hate on here for exposing Haymon and Wilder for being full of ****. Joshua gave Fury everything he wanted, turns out Fury and his team mislead everyone to mess people about.

If AJ vacates the WBO to fight someone else then there might be some truth to this narrative.
