Literally 2 weeks ago Eddie was say there saying it's all about titles, not money blah, blah, blah now... Wilder please, forget the title.

I call bullchit
Slow Eddie won’t put AJ even close to Wilder
Can’t blame him knowing his fighter has got glass for a chin and most importantly no title
Filip , keep close to phone

Eddie is correct. AJ vs Wilder in final eliminator for the WBC title would be a bigger fight that AJ vs Hrgovic for the IBF title.

Now they both just need to win their interim fights.

Where have I heard that before?

When Eddie starts saying "his excellency" when he's referring to the Saudi prince,
then things might be going smoothly over the funding of these fights.

It's sad that such fights can only happen in that part of the world.

I think it was right before AJ quit in his corner against Unranked Andy.

Glad to hear. We don’t need to return to the Bruce Seldon / Lamon Brewster days of paper champion. Treat the threat of trash stripped belts the way Charr is being treated - ignore it.

if wilder is still wilder and capable of good KO's hes got an issue, another good stoppage might send AJ straight in the dark room again but if he looks a bit diminished AJ might just whisper softly to eddie 'i think im ready now'

These guys know there’s a very good chance Fury will postpone the February fight anyway .

Wheather he does or not it’s common sense what the plan was the entire time .

Giggles Hey I thought Hrgovic was next for these guys ?

The only way they go after Hrgovic is if Wilder loses which is a a good chance I’d say 30% if he doesn’t get a fast stoppage .

Don't start like that. Eddy is correct just doesn't sound right. More like, I might agree, no. I might suspect Eddy is correct, is better.
