    I wouldn't call anyone slow when you reply with this. AJ was the best back then when Fury ducked him. Fury had no problem fighting Wilder as he's a joke. But when it comes to the best in AJ and Usyk, he all of a sudden has to cause problems. He did the same thing to David Price when that fight was hot for the British title. A lot of money was also on offer. But again, Fury swerved it. It's easy to understand.

    What has Wilder done in the past 5 years to be a top 10 fighter right now in the division?

    I'll accept that i read it wrong in what the other poster was getting at. But let's see if you can admit to you getting it wrong as well.

      So Wilder himself is not taking any interim fight and just prefers to wait for Joshua. Why is that? It's been seven months since his last fight. Is he afraid to lose also why he's not taking an interim fight?

        boxing is a dangerous sport, i think that's the reason why we see so many talented athletes in the NBA and not in the heavyweight division. The human body is simply not made for getting punched in the head for entertainment.

            They all want to fight in the Middle East for the retirement money. They won't even take interim fights.

                Most of the fighters are playing waiting games. It pays to play the game in this sport. It could also be that there's not enough money to keep everyone busy, not to mention they all want to get huge paychecks.

                But something has to break, or give in. Sitting around doing nothing will eventually lead to them begging for any fight. They can't all stay dormant for years. They're not getting any younger.

                  Fury, Wilder, Usyk and Joshua are all on their way out. They are looking for their last big retirement fights.

                  Usyk hopes he beats Dubos and fights Fury than, Fury wants only big money fights with Joshua and maybe Usyk, Wilder wants Joshua and Usyk.

                  The part that I don`t understand is, why are the other guys so inactive. They should be making some fights to insure good wins and the new pole positions, because the big 4 are clearly on their way out.

                    You're delusional. Fury and Wilder both beat AJ. Fury beats Usyk. The fact you would rank 10 guys over Wilder shows the levels of your delusion.

                      It was so amazing and alive when Iron Mike Tyson was knocking out the great Peter "the Cocoon" McNeeley. Great times. Nash out
