Wow, great point! Sounds like you know what you're talking about . . . as long as we ignore the facts.
Wilder fought two months before Klitschko because Klitschko got injured, which delayed the Joshua fight. A fight he'd already agreed to.
So as long as we ignore that Joshua & Klitschko agreed to fight in 2016, with that agreement being enforced on the new date caused by injury, then yes, Wilder could have fought Klitschko. You're definitely right as long as we ignore all reality.
But in reality, Joshua & Klitschko made a deal in October 2016, months before Wilder would be ready to return.
