    Does any unbiased fan really believe Hearn wants AJ-Wilder next?

    Eddie Hearn is a business man. A very good business man. Clearly Wilder is the biggest threat to AJ. Doesn't mean Wilder would win, but he's proven to be the most dangerous heavyweight and the world's leading experts would give him a better chance than anyone to dethrone AJ.

    With AJ making so much money regardless of his opponent, are there any unbiased fans here who truly believe Hearn wants AJ vs. Wilder to be next?

    No. Hearn is smart keeping AJ away from Wilder.

      It' quite clear Eddie does what he's told and doesn't make decisions, its the reason AJ will stay with him because Eddie's his b*tch. Whether Eddie wants it or not is irrelevant.

        Absolutely not.

        They'll do Povetkin in the UK next.

        Then Miller in Brooklyn or Whyte rematch in the UK after that.

        Wilder not until early 2019 at least.

          I have no dog in the fight and I think Hearn wants no part of wilder but he should there could be a trilogy or at least a rematch who else is there in the hw division

            Likely that Hearn will duck and try to blame it on Wilder.
            He will offer wilder something outrageous like 25 or 30 percent and his UK fans will eat it up because AJ is the “A side”.
            Or he will continue to insist that Wilder face Whyte with no garuntee to face Joshua next.
            That’s why Chicken Joshua held Whyte up like a shield in the post fight interview

              I don't think he does.

              95% of AJ fans are casual fans. once he loses a fight, the mystique and allure for the casuals goes. There would be no more stadium fights against guys like Takam once he loses. Armchair fans are fickle. When you're doing huge numbers v Parker & Takam and making big money, then i'm sure they would rather ride it out a bit longer.

              Even if they're not afraid to fight Wilder, surely they know one shot from Wilder ends that hype train/gravy train.

              Why would a business man put his biggest asset in a big gamble when he can still rake in huge amounts a few more times at least, without huge risks? - that's how you have to look at it. It's business for them.

                I don't believe that he wants it next. Wilder made him look ****** a while back, and Hearn is looking for some payback. Only thing is Hearn can't get payback. He can only offer Whyte who Wilder can make wait for a year or longer. Joshua is running out of opponents. That's why he talks about Wilder's worth. Hearns has no vision like his father but he's learning.

                  He clearly doesn't. I don't have a problem with AJ as a boxer. He's talented and respects his craft. His career is that if the prize cow at the fair and Hearn is just going to milk him until the **** are dry.

                    Personally i dont think so...and i dont think its because he thinks Joshua will lose. Either way...win or lose...the steam goes out of the Joshua train because there is no next mountain to climb. Its simply the carrot on the stick theory. Once you give the donkey the carrot...wether he eats it or not he aint doing any more work.
