AJ wasn't planning on fighting for a world title at that time, but Martin kept on talking **** about him online calling him a coward and such. So they took the gamble and got him in the ring. The rest is history.
How was AJ ducking Wilder when he was fighting Wlad, then had to fight his mandatory in Takam??
Wlad is a much better fighter than Wilder will ever come close to being. What you're saying is pure nonsense.

Originally posted by Mrbamladen View PostNo there wasn't. Wilder vs glazkov was to be the headline fight of the night featuring two undefeated fighters fighting for wilder's wbc belt. Yet the fight that was made the co headline made more money??? I just wanna let that sink in and let you see how stupid you sound trying to defend that blatant duck. I also noticed you had nothing to say about aj ducking wilder for a fight that night. Plus who cares aj fought wlad??? That was a year later and within that time aj ducked wilder several more times.
AJ fought Martin then Breazeale. The next fight was supposed to be Wlad but he pulled out with an injury so it went to Molina on short notice. So where did AJ duck Wilder?
AJ ducked Wilder several times? AJ didn't duck him once let alone several times. At what point did he duck? Be specific.

But if we're being fair, it's obviously ridiculous to claim AJ ducked Wilder several times.
A case could be made that AJ ducked Wilder this March, but it would be a flimsy case at best. I don't think it's ducking to give a fight more time to build as long as you do end up taking the fight. So in my personal opinion, AJ hasn't ducked Wilder yet. Yes, he could have fought him in March, but it made way more business sense to fight Parker first and AJ vs. Wilder is such a bigger fight later this year than it would be now.
This Miller talk though should have everyone nervous that the plan is to duck Wilder. For all of us that want to see AJ vs. Wilder, the biggest fear has always been that HBO would do whatever it takes to block the fight.
Mentioning Miller as an opponent certainly makes it seem like Hearn is leaning towards HBO, even though it'll kill the Wilder fight dead. Which would be a real shame. A real real shame. Everyone knows AJ & Wilder are #1 and #2 on the planet. Everyone who cares about knowing who the best boxer on Earth is wants to see them fight. Delaying the fight for another year would make sense in terms of giving the general public time to find out about the fight and get excited, but it'll be a real shame if Matchroom & HBO go full board and this fight never happens.
