    How is he avoiding him when he is fighting his mandatory ffs

    If there is still no fight in a year, then maybe youve got an argument (or maybe it will be Wilder stalling who knows).

      Anthony Joshua is building a legacy. Kubrat Pulev is a legitimate challenger in today's barren landscape. AJ is also a cashcow who can pick his opponents from a gaggle of muppets desperate for a payday. Deontay Wilder is just another muppet. There's no ducking going on from AJ's side. What Wilder and his people need to realise is that they dance to the AJ-Matchroom drumbeat. They don't demand a fight now. They don't demand a certain purse. They don't demand a fight in the USA. They will take it however it's given to them.

        The muscle-bound mummy's legacy will be of him getting laid-out cold by Wilder.

            It is quite an acheivement to win a Bronze medal at the Olympics and a paper title in the Pros with the limitations Deontay Wilder has. The man has made it. At 31 years old the man is set in his ways. He can still learn from experience but that wild, flailing style is with him forever.

            Anthony Joshua is an absolute tank and is still learning. His first defence of the Unified title is only his 20th pro contest. He can still improve. With experience he too will get better. I personally find that remarkable. He is at the top of his game and not yet the finished article.

            I see the AJ-Wilder fight having a cagey couple of rounds to start. AJ would hurt Wilder with straight shots and as soon as he starts flailing he will be finished off. Just logical thinking on my part. I don't see it any other way.

              Same reason Canelo stalled Golovkin.

                AJ's title has just as much cellulose as Wilder's.

                Vlad at 41 coming off a loss and a long layoff is Joshua's claim to fame.

                AJ is a tank....a very slow and fragile tank

                He'll be a sitting duck in the there with Wilder.

                  I doubt Wilder would fight Joshua right away after beating Klitschko. You would then say let him wait. Question is why is Wilder now interested? No one had seen this kind of interest when Klitschko was still around.

                      Because the bums that sign to fight don't use PED's that cause the fight to be cancelled whereas the top ranked guys he signs to face, Povetkin and Ortiz, did.
