This is the easiest fight to make. Both fight on Showtime. It would sell huge in the UK or America and both are in their prime. The problem is Anthony Joshua not Eddie Hearn. We know Hearn is not interested in losing his cow right now. I guarantee if he beats Parker which is no easy task the first thing out of his mouth is i'll do whatever my team says! Bull****! If you say I want Wilder next it will happen next. He won't do it. Crickets!

wilder will be there...wilder will get in that ring when its over -
And AJ will smile and ask the crowd if they want to see it. And then Eddie Hearn will take the mic from him and tell him to shut up!Comment

AJ said after his last fight that he wanted Parker next and then Wilder after that. He might change his mind -- who knows -- but to say that he'll change his mind without any evidence is kind of ******.Comment

STop it. Hearn is positioning AJ to go to HBO to take a 3 fight deal for huge money. Nothing wrong with that but it means we will likely get Miller, Whyte and Fury instead of Wilder, which is clearly the best fight in the division right now.
You can't blame AJ or his team if they go to HBO rather than resign with SHO. However if the money is equal and he takes the HBO deal then the optics would be bad. Looks like he is trying to avoid Wilder.Comment

I know Eddie is good at spin, but he has a point with his recent comments,
He's had 20 fights, several defenses, soon to be 2 unifications. Yet people still criticise.
Wilder has been a champ about twice as long, twice as many fights, no unification, not even close.
I don't think Wilder is scared or anything, it's all timing, opportunity, money etc. But it's pretty clear AJ isn't running from anyone.
He's going to fight him and probably Fury in the next 12 months.Comment

No you stop it. The fight doesn't happen until Wilder is reasonable. Joshua isn't going to make decisions hoping Wilder finds his nuts. I heard Wilder isn't even signed to Showtime, so stop with that lame excuse.
The ball is in Wilders court. If he asks for a reasonable split Joshua/Hearn will have nowhere to go. Until that happens Wilder is the one ducking.Comment

Hey I'm on record as saying AJ is better and the unquestioned draw. I'm on record as saying AJ can choose here or England as the unquestioned A side.
However, you can't deny the optics are bad on this. He looks to be avoiding a guy 95% of us think he will defeat and fairly easy to fight Jarrel Miller next.
Shelly Finkel also pulled Hearns card with that statement on Sat night. Hearn looks to be doing everything but trying to make the fight we all want.
Just make the fight!Comment
