It's still an excellent, explosive fight I want to see.

I rather watch Wilder / AJ than Spence / Crawford.

I'm not sure if two fighters ever blew it worse, Wilder/AJ should have been happen and everyone involved has to take some blame. Hearn 60% because yes they offered Wilder a lot of money but it was for more than 1 fight on DAZN, it was a $100m for him to come to London 3 times twice for AJ and once for Whyte all on DAZN basically signing him away from PBC. It was the blue print used to get Haney to sign with TR for Kambosos twice and now Loma. 20% on AJ because he could have told Hearn cut the crap and negotiate straight up and make it happen, the other 20% is wilder even though I understand why he told Hearn no he still should have demanded Al make it happen.

You're far too even handed for boxing scene

Not that these two need any more money, but it's a huge box office surefire hit.

Also, it would be very exciting, unlikely to go the distance.

It's still a great fight and a very big one commercially. Probably not gonna happen soon though. Both guys are still in a rebuilding phase after defeats.

Is Joshua pulling a Fury-like move here? Fury & Usyk in negotiations for their undisputed title fight & Joshua starting to talk about Wilder to stay relevant. That is a Fury tactic when in between fights & other big names are in the headlines… I think it is a good move if that is what he is doing…

[joe strong]

Wilder is the biggest manufactured fraud in boxing history. He has ducked every real heavyweight for almost a decade. His trainer said he "wasnt ready" to fight Klitschko even after 29 Pro fights. He only fought Fury cos he was losing credibility and needed a big name and he thought fury was weakened after 2 years ring rust and drink and drug binge, yet he still got schooled. Zero boxing skill. AJ will flatten him even quicker than Fury did. Styles make fights.

I love you 14 post people that come here trashing Fury, Wilder or Joshua. It is becoming a regular thing here. Kind of like the old Eastern euro nuthuggers that worshipped the Klitschkos. Posters with multiple accounts having conversations with themselves & green K-ing their alts too…

To be honest it's still the most interesting fight to me. Fury-Usyk would be great but might be a snoozer like Fury-Wlad was. Wilder-Joshua is still where excitement is a damn near guarantee.

[crimsonfalcon07]

I would like to see this fight. Sure it's lost some of its luster, but would still be great. Would be even better as chief support for Usyk-Fury, but since it's a headline worthy on its own, there's no way they'd give us a card like that, even if it would be the best heavyweight card of the era. Especially if you threw in Joyce, Ruiz, or some of the new guys like Frank Sanchez or Jared Anderson...

Oh well.

Josh v wilder/fury needs to happen. I don't want to see threads in 30 years time debating who'd win.
