Thurman vs Spence or Joshua vs Wilder

AJ-Wilder will be first.

Thurman has very openly admitted to ducking Spence and is pretty comfortable defending that decision. I can't see him getting pressured by public demand.

All I want to know about is Crawford vs. Thurman....make it happen!!!!!

Joshua-Wilder will happen first probably within the next 12 months. Spence-Thurman I think will happen late 2019 at the earliest perhaps even 2020.

I think Wilder will get blown out pretty easily but that feels like a bigger and more important fight and Wilder's new legion of fans are some of the most obnoxious and annoying so having them out of the way is worth it.

Thurman-Spence is actually a hard fight to predict. I'd favor Spence but in no way would be surprised to see Thurman outpojnt him. It's a great matchup.

Spence has plenty of options to fight. Garcia, porter, etc. Joshua and wilder on a true collision course after aj wins and wilder ko the fook out of white. But as i said there should not be any boo hooing from spence ppl because there are options. Need to drop that ibf belt and get something real going on and force a thurman fight. Pretty much what wilder doing. I mean thurman wanted mayweather forever and couldnt get him. So cant feel sorry for spence if he dont raise competition and fight very regularly. Having said that, spence prolly beats everyone at ww pretty soundly until he gets thurman who i think is being looked over by fans, and the jury still out on the ex jww king crawdaddy

Thurman is the only guy of the 4 involved who I feel doesn't wanna see his opponent any time soon based on the sh^t he's saying thus will put off the fight for as long as possible so Joshua vs Wilder. Plus there is a lot more money in that fight now vs Spence vs Thurman now.

AJ vs Wilder if not next will definitely be the fight after the next fight. Thurman has said he will fight 2 or 3 get back fights before Spence. And since he fights once a year, that's could mean 3 years. Hearn said he's happy to guarantee AJ fight next for Wilder if he beats Whyte.. So Whyte vs Wilder will take place in UK and AJ vs Miller in US.

I agree. Thurman has already told us hes not even thinking about Spence until he has his 2 tune-ups and going by the amount of fights hes had lately that could be a very long time.

Hes had the surgery but cmon how long does it take really to be able to be involved in a tune-up.

As for AJ v Wilder well this will happen definitely in the next two fights they both have. Hopefully they bypass the interim fights and just go at it next. Fingers crossed.

Thurman vs Spence or Joshua vs Wilder
