joshua became champ april 2016, signed to figth wlad in november of 2016 for a fight in april of 2017, oritz left hearn in march of 2017. didnt really give himself much of a chance to land the fight now did he? you could just as easily say he left hearn to duck joshua and target the weaker wilder depending on your agenda. also later ortiz became mandatory to joshua but got busted for ped's how is that joshua ducking? then even after that joshua offered him 7 million dollars in 2019 and ortiz turned it down how is that joshua ducking? im not seeing any real evidence that joshua didnt want the fight given the facts. the biggest strike against that claim is that he was offered the fight and a huge payday and turned it down. same way wilder was offered 100 million dollars and turned it down. if you dont want to fight someone you dont make them crazy high offers that no reasonable person would turn down.

Bunch of damn kids in here or fangirls with crushes.
Yes, name another heavy weight (his age group) with a true amateur pedigree (outside of Usyk) equal to AJ and who won GOLD? Its not Wilder, Fury or Andy.
Usyk is the ONLY guy that surpasses the accomplishments of AJ CURRENTLY but were getting off track. Bet you cant remember what this thread is about kid.

The Hearn haters claim AJ is his golden goose on the way out. The AJ haters claim Hearn manufactured his popularity and the venues didn't really sell out.
We can debate the boxing ability, but there's no doubting AJ could sell tickets in large numbers to the general public at the height of his popularity.Comment

Wilder fights less top-10 guys than AJ and AJ is 5 years behind Wilder in his career. People in glass-houses.... Wilder barely even fights anymore. Where has he been??
Hearn is his promoter. That is literally his job lolI don’t think anyone can debate that AJ was built up by Hearn into something that he wasn’t. Hearn was promoting him as a great and already listed him as one of the top 10 heavyweights in the history of the sport. He had him ranked above guys like Joe Louis, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Marciano, and many others ,which we all know is laughable.
Even so I would say Hearn has is more measured that most. He said AJ could lose to Wilder, said the same thing before Usyk. He also ranks AJ in the top 3 current heavyweights... which is fairComment

Wilder was not a draw back then at all. Too be fair to Wilder both Martin & Parker declined to fight him for damn good reasons… $$$$$I was living in Vegas from Dec '14- Dec '16, and for this bumpkin buffoon to talk about faking ticket sales is hilarious! Pbc literally giving out free tickets for their fights. I scooped many and so did co-workers and others I knew. Hell, I got free tix for Wilder vs Stiverne 1. The envy is real with Wilder. It's almost kinda sick how his jealousy reeks. And to say AJ was made but he wasn't is hypocritical af. Wilder was fed cans for nearly 40 fights b4 going life n death with the Cuban grandpa. Even now he's being matched with Parker when he could've unified with him when it actually meant something, but he turned it down, just like he did vs Wlad.
I'm not big on AJ either but in his 16th fight vs Martin, who Wilder could've easily unified with, he won his first title. And he unified vs Parker 5, almost 6 years ago lmfao. Wilder fought for his 1st title in 32 or 33rd fight ffs.
Both AJ and Wilder came to boxing late. Wilder has 45 fight while AJ has 29. So who again was spoon fed chumps?
Martin got 8.5 million US & Parker got like 12 million. What were they getting paid to fight Wilder when as you said tickets were being given away. It would have been peanuts. There is a reason everyone is calling out Joshua. He is still the top HW cash cow. Fury is too but Joshua was the biggest draw for years.

So we’ve gone from “AJ has an amateur pedigree” to “name a heavyweight the same age other than Usyk with more amateur fights?” okay. Zhang. Not really difficult. Luis Ortiz is another. So is Heleinus and Povetkin. Want me to keep going? Joe Joyce, Filip Hrgovic, Arslambek Makmudov
