Second lie: "Then Klitschko owed Fury an overdue mandatory, which would have been difficult to avoid as Fury was simultaneously the WBA and WBO mandatory."
I didn't say it would have been impossible to avoid Fury. I said difficult. The plan was to clear Klitschko of all of his mandatories, (an early 2016 fight against Glazkov would have cleared his final mandatory and made Klitschko a TV free agent in the US), and then jump from HBO to Showtime to fight Wilder on pay-per-view.
Third lie: "Klitschko and Wilder had the same manager"
Here's the article announcing Wilder signed with Shelly Finkel:
http://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3560484
The 22-year-old from Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Thursday signed a multi-year contract with powerful manager Shelly Finkel.
Finkel knows a thing or two about heavyweights champions. He's managed former heavyweight champions Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Michael Moorer and currently manages unified titleholder Wladimir Klitschko and his older brother, former titleholder Vitali Klitschko.

Easily verifiable publicly available information conclusively proves that you are lying on this point. While you can usually get unification approved over a mandatory, it is more difficult when a fighter is a double mandatory as you need two approvals instead of one. The Fury fight was also more lucrative than a Wilder fight at that point, making the organizations less inclined to cooperate as the entire reason unification typically trumps mandatory is because the organizations want the bigger fight to happen because it puts more money in their pockets.

Finkel kept his word and scheduled two quick defenses for Wilder and then had Wilder call out Klitschko publicly in a major article before the Fury fight. The timeline clearly shows Wilder wasn't avoiding unification because those two quick defenses Finkel wanted him to make took place when Klitschko wasn't available anyway.
If Klitschko didn't lose, Finkel was going to match him against Wilder in 2016.

Klitschko and Wilder had the same manager, who said Wilder needed two quick defenses before he'd be ready for Klitschko. So Wilder made two quick defenses before Klitschko even fought Fury. Wilder went public in a major article before the Klitschko/Fury fight calling out Klitschko for a fight in 2016. A fight being planned by Finkel for SHO PPV as soon as Klitschko's HBO deal was up.
Big problem. Klitschko was shockingly upset by Fury, ruining the whole plan.
But your claim that Wilder avoided unification is ridiculous because Klitschko lost all of his titles the same year Wilder won his title.

http://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3560484
The 22-year-old from Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Thursday signed a multi-year contract with powerful manager Shelly Finkel.
Finkel knows a thing or two about heavyweights champions. He's managed former heavyweight champions Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Michael Moorer and currently manages unified titleholder Wladimir Klitschko and his older brother, former titleholder Vitali Klitschko.
It's well known that Finkel worked with Bernd Boente on setting up Wlad and Vitali's US fights. To a lazy, incompetant oaf like Fat Dan, that probably counts as being the Klit bro's manager .. but not to anybody with a brain in their head. Boente was Wlad and Vitali's manager, not Finkel.
It's also well known that Wlad badly wanted to unify the HW division by winning the WBC belt after his brother vacated it. The Klits bros never negotiated in the media or made public statements about fights they were trying to make. Everything happened quietly, behind the scenes.
The only possible motive that Shelly Finkel could have had for making his infamous statement about Wilder being "still a baby" and "not ready for Wlad" after he won the WBC title was that Boente had approached him - quietly, behind the scenes - to ask about matching Wilder with Wlad, and had been told "no deal"
And leaving the Jennings fight aside - which Wlad himself might possibly have wanted first, before unifying with Wilder - there was absolutely no reason at all why Wilder couldn't have fought Wlad after Wlad beat Jennings.
Your claim that the WBO and WBA wouldn't have delayed their mandos to allow a 4 belt unification fight between Wlad and Wilder is preposterous.
Especially coming from a guy who has claimed - multiple times - that AJ could have ignored the the WBA order to finalise their mando because the IBF are the only organisation who will not always give priority to unification - even after a purse bid has been ordered.

I said when Wilder won the title, Wladimir already had plans to fight Jennings. Which is true. You should apologize for saying it was a lie when I've conclusively proven you're wrong.

The previous poster said Wilder ducked unifying with Klitschko. That is a blatant lie and you know it. Wilder never had a chance to unify because Klitschko lost. Finkel's comments about Wilder not being rushed are irrelevant because Finkel kept his word and scheduled those two defenses very quickly. Wilder would have been ready as soon as Klitschko was ready.

And you said this about AJ and Wilder:
