Should Wilder target Fury for the "LINEAL" title?

[1hourRun]

Because that would suddenly mean A.J didn't win all those fights in the past right? You guys are delusional.

You can argue Joshua has a better resume than Tyson Fury, whos THE MAN tho?

I thought Fury was stripped or vacated of it. Wiki says he was stripped in Feb 2018??

As long as theres a chance Wilder could fight Fury first, the Wilder fans will say Fury is Lineal. The moment Fury vs Joshua looks like its happening the Wilder fans will say Fury isnt Lineal.

[Willy Wanker]

Fight would sell and make lots of money and he would get a shot at the Lineal title

If he can't Joshua soon, why not?

[Mister Wolf]

Yes, they can have a big fight over in the UK.

[BLASTER1]

Why not? Easy pickings.

The market decides who the man is, not Jake from Alabama.

So Tony Bellew is above Deontay Wilder then, got it.

No. If it becomes available of course he should go for it, but if you're asking if he should spend 2-3 months trying to make a deal with Fury's people I'd say that's a bad idea and would stall his own career by wasting time. Fury knows AJ pays more and is similar risk so could just use Wilder negotiations as leverage to get better terms vs AJ, or he could be too difficult to agree terms with and waste time, or have more 'injury' problems that cause a cancellation once terms are agreed.

If Wilder can't do a deal for an AJ fight in April and doesn't want to work with Hearn on a Miller fight then he should look to the winner of WBSS this weekend.

A 50/50 with Wilder in the UK would pay more than whatever flat fee Hearn tries to offer Fury.
