How does a unified champion with 4 belts in 22 fights get called a duck?

[Laligalaliga]

His resume is decent but the fact is that when wilder's team called his bluff and offered the money he asked for, he caked his pants and went into hiding until Hearn got him a fight with another 40 year old in povetkin.

what good is it fighting everyone else and then run for cover when it's time to see who is the best?

the contract is still on his table just for the reminder.

the contract is still on his table just for the reminder.

Many promoters admit that sending a contract knowing it wont be accepted is a way of ducking a fight and saving face.

That contract can just be signed to call their bluff. That contract still represent 5/6 times his normal payday.

AJ was a high-profile Olympic Gold Medallist and turned pro with the biggest promoter in the UK. Obviously his progression was gonna be smoother than for a guy like Wilder who didn't have the same amateur background & didn't turn pro with a big promoter or TV deal. AJ had opportunities that Wilder didn't.

To me, it's all kinda irrelevant now anyway - they're both world champions and they took their own routes to get there. Like everybody else I'm bored with the side show & just wish they'd fight.

Is that enough excuses not to fight a notable name for 30 even fight?

His compatriot is already a 4 belt unified champ.

The crazy thing is wilder has been champ long before AJ fought for his first belt

[N/A]

Wilder's team have dragged their feet, refusing meetings, making unrealistic financial demands, delaying proceedings either by not signing agreed contracts or waiting for Joshua's mandatories to be enforced before disputing details in contracts.

None of that is true. All of that is Hearn propaganda. Meetings were only canceled after AJ reneged on being willing to fight for 50 million. Wilder accepted 15 million flat, so you can't say he was being unrealistic. Hearn sent a blank contract though and asked for a few days to give a date, then never delivered on a date. So there was never anything for Wilder to sign. The AJ mandatory excuse is bogus because the Povetkin fight wasn't signed until well after Wilder would have signed and the WBA does whatever Hearn wants anyway. Clearly Hearn wanted Povetkin next, not Wilder.

Wilder then signs a 2 fight deal with Fury which of course ensures the fight doesn't happen until at least late 2019.

When you accept a flat fee for a fight of that magnitude, and Hearn still refuses to keep his word and do the fight next, it's time to move on with your life. Just because Wilder is done chasing the fight doesn't mean he didn't do everything possible to try to make the fight for 2018. If you want to blame him for delaying the fight in the future, go ahead, but in terms of trying to get a fight done for this year, he did everything possible. Hearn simply didn't want it.

Ray, AJ and Hearn both admitted the offer was real. Why are you claiming it was fake?

If the offer was real, why were they running from meeting?

Why is Warren and BT sport coming up with the money as claimed by the large part of the media?

Why didnt they send a contract instead of twitter offer behind a mobile phone?

Everytime you come in here to boldly defend stupidity and a total foreign way of doing boxing business.

[N/A]

This is irony at its best , it's actually WBC poster who claims he's not a boxing fan and doesn't even like it . He makes stuff up as he goes and only the uneducated Wilder fans fall for it.

If I was actually making stuff up, you'd be able to counter my points. Honestly I'd like to see you try.

[Laligalaliga]

By the simple fact that he is ducking Wilder.

Should have happened this year.

Two ducks so far by Joshua, how many more times are you going to allow him to duck?

They are just waiting on Wilder to get old before taking the fight.

To avoid been ducked, you sign the gademn contract that represent more than 50% of wilder's total earnings in the sport.

That's how to show signs you truly want to be undisputed.

[Laligalaliga]

You're talking absolute bollocks. SKY already has the rights for Joshua fights, why would they be making offers?

Why was Haymon negotiating with BT when he knows Sky Already has the rights to Joshua fights?

Notice how you didn't respond to the request for proof of the claim that the rights would go to Sky if they matched BT. You've been caught lying yet again.

Hez always lieing. That's a fact.

Lolx..... Very funny analysis that makes you look stupid. But the wolve could only manage one belt despite having 50mil in his wallet.

Go get a life bro. You really need a beer

Actually, when someone presents facts and the only response is a weak attempt at a personal insult, it's pretty clear who doesn't know what they are talking about.

Peace, kid...
