    Maybe fight Whyte.......Why? Joshuah has already sparked Whyte who's looked mediocre since.

      Joshua has... and Wilder won't even fight Dillian for triple his biggest purse...

      Wilder is scared to leave his country just like Floyd, Ward etc. Asterisks are in order.
      Why go over to England for Whyte? Wilder’s not trying to become a star over there. Doing it for AJ is one thing doing it for Whyte is another thing. Wilder was willing to go to Russia but that was for 5 million not that chump change Hearn was offering. And who cares if it’s his highest payday Wilder is not poor and can do what he wants. All he has to do is keep winning whether it’s against Ortiz, Breazele or whoever. The public will put enough pressure on AJ to have to take the fight. It’s not just about money it’s about control and ego. And right now Hearn has the control so Wilder’s not going to jump just cause Hearn says so.

            Deep down I think this was the plan all along.

            Wilder fights Breazeale or Ortiz while Joshua fights Parker. All the while, Fury looms in the smoke around them all, poking in and out of matters until he emerges fully again.

            Secretly I think this is what Hearn and AJ want more than anything. While Wilder does have an unrealistic demand in the 50/50 stakes that he needs to lower, there does seem to be a very quick acceptance that negotiations won’t work. Like they tried a little bit to please the obligation, but it didn’t work right away so they can all hold hands up and claim they tried whilst deep down it’s what they all wanted.

            One thing is still more true than anything over all - Hearn wants AJ a million miles away from Wilder for as long as he can possibly stretch it. Talking about Whyte still? Leave it out, man.

              Well since Joseph Parker is currently the more proven boxer of the two in terms of competing at a higher level with better level of opposition more consistently, despite having fewer bouts, he clearly deserves his bout against Anthony Joshua more than Deontay Wilder does. That I can agree with!

                eh, i still want wilder - ortiz.

                and parker has faced solid opposition more consistently than wilder, tho we cant blame wilder any more for that.

                  That 5 mill that Wilder made for the Povetkin fight was a one-off due to Povetkins side wanting the fight in Russia, so won the purse-bid.

                  Wilder hasn't made that money in any other fight, so you calling the money on offer for Whyte "chump change" shows what a ****** you actually are. Just like most Americans.

                    Other than the money there’s no reason to go over there for Whyte. And Wilder says he doesn’t need it so it is what it is. Flip the script and I could argue why is Joshua fighting Parker when he can make more money with Wilder.

                      You think the Wilder fight makes more money??

                      Break it down for me then considering you seem to know what money it could make.
