Wilder might as well fight in his back garden against ***in Alan from the sugar stand in Walmart if hes not coming to the UK, to do his job, which is box, he can watch the brits make all the monies and new friends and media glory from his deck chair and pop up tent.

The dude should use them long freak arms for something useful if he wont man up, be a traffic warden, give him a whistle and hes sorted. Mother***

Nobody in the world other than Hearn and Whyte should want this to happen. Not even Joshua because he'd lose $ and an opportunity for a legacy defining fight.

This was the plan before when Joshua held all the cards but after yesterday more people will be saying like Tyson Fury that they favor Wilder to win now. It was as if he was confronted in the ring after all by the public wanting to know if Wilder is next. He has to fight Wilder next. I mean he doesn't 'have' to but in order to maintain his reputation as 'the man' in the division.

Hearn would sell his soul for Whyte to beat Wilder and to have a unification in the UK with his two guys, keeping it in house like Arum. Problem is Wilder doesn't care about Hearn's wet dream and is going to block the possibility for as long as he can. He definitely won't be fighting Whyte this year.

Whyte gets obliterated by Wilder easily. So, Whyte and AJ can wish whatever they want. It won't matter.

AJ fan girls in shambles and on full on damage control for the last few weeks!

From the sky sports analyst saying Joshua be acting funny when Wilder is mentioned, to Edward Hearns contradicting nearly everything AJ says, and now this!

Only AJ fan girls are left defending this crap, heavyweight champions should never subject their rivals to this!

If AJ don't fight Wilder next he's gonna get on my Wall of Shame along with Carnelo Alvaroidz!

Unbelievable this guy calls himself a champion

I don't get it. Parker fights off the back foot and Wilder doesn't, I can't see any extension of Joshua's performance vs Parker to Wilder, except that if Joshua can keep it as tight and controlled as he did with Parker, who was baiting him in all night, then that would serve him well vs Wilder.

vs Wilder, Joshua would need to stay cool under fire. Getting into a firefight would just sacrifice his advantage of having better boxing skills. Joshua kept it under control the entire time vs Parker, albeit at the expense of making it a dull fight.

Where Joshua fell short was his ability to hunt Parker down and finish him off. Parker's defence and movement was good enough that Joshua couldn't find a risk-free way in, and he didn't need to take any risks as he could just grind out the W with his jab.

Extrapolating what happened in this fight with what might happen vs Wilder is nuts - it would be a completely different fight. Joshua wouldn't have to be thinking how to get in on Wilder as Wilder would be right in his face. It would come down to whether Joshua could stay controlled and keep his defence tight, and if anything, the Parker outing just showed he could.

edit: if Hearn is as smart as he thinks he is, he might actually recognise that Joshua's biggest enemy is potentially having a couple of back-to-back fights like this. Another grind-out or two and the 'stadium crowd' might be likely to start turning against Joshua as being boring, and turn their attention to the next 15-minute star. Povetkin might be a repeat of Parker if he boxes the same way (I think Joshua gets him because of his age, but there is risk Joshua cruises again). My bet is Hearn goes for Miller, who will make Joshua look like a beast again, then Povetkin. Wilder ain't happening - too much risk.
