This is going to play out just like Wilder-Ortiz II

We are in the beginning of May and they want to fight and December, that is 7 months away. A lot can happen from here to there and that is also a lot of inactivity.

So no fight until Dec. for Joshua and then Fury v Wilder 4 early next year.

Except it's going to end alot quicker

[James Hunt]

Yea, why fight Whyte in the Summer when he can feed his laziness with a proper layoff just to get later killed by Wilder?

[Roberto Vasquez]

They need to sign up the Wilder for the AJ fight now then Fury is really pressured to fight Usyk. Finally give the real fans what they want.

As for who wins : have to go for Wilder but it's not a foregone conclusion. AJ is a better boxer and Wilder rarely fights anyone in the top 10. Why is that? Is there a reason?

I think it's 70/30 in favor of Wilder just because he is very fast and always lands that right hand - no matter who the opponent, and AJ is fragile.

Tme to cash in/ out, now that both fighters have lost their 0s.

If AJ is going to sit on his ass until December, it’s a cash out.

The more hearn talks the less likely this fight is too happen. Sounds like the usual circle talk by Eddie. “We have told “them” we want the fight “we’ll see if we can close terms”. Just doesn’t sound like he’s in a rush to make these fights
