Wilder is the one using AJ...

Wilder is using AJ name to grow a bit more by constantly mentioning his name in everything within the past 2 years,the truth is opening up

I don’t think either man is afraid of the other. I think this has just become a mind game now . I read a lot of these post and some of you think wilder is a joke from r saying he will fight AJ in 2020 but those of you who have been on this board for a while now may recall last fall team AJ saying he won’t fight wilder until 2020 so now wilder is saying the same thing . Wilder loves the fact that Aj is chasing him now. It’s become a soap opera. I predict the fight won’t happen until 2020 unless Aj offers him 50/50 split then it might happen this year , but even if it doesn’t happen until 2020 I still think Aj will give him 50/50.

"I'm soft in that sense, because I know what a second chance in life gave me. I made my own mistakes. It didn't have anything to do with drugs and cheating, but in life.“

What bull - it had EVERYTHING to do with drugs given he is a CONVICTED drug dealer... (who happened to get off REAL light)

They're building it up as much as possible.

When it happens in 2020, it will be on the level of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

So you’ve conceded that they didn’t want the fight?

Beyonce Wildher is a ducking COWARD!

Joshua is the last thing wilder wants to see right now. When you run a marathon you don't want to see the start line again. Wilder has run a marathon to duck Joshua so he won't be going to see him any time soon.

Joshua has now gotten over the fear factor that Barry unequivocally instilled in him concerning Wilder. But just because he’s finally gotten over his fear doesn’t mean Wilder has to take the bait of his silly bravado tough talk. Fury & Wilder has now taken a page out of his teams business commercial acumen - so the pretty pampered UK hero has to wait. Sir Pampered can command photo shoots, but he can’t control fight dates....and that’s what infuriates greedy spoiled Eddie and his “have it your own way with risk free fights” robot.

Of course Wilder wants it, but his team want to time it right to maximize his earnings. The current plan is Breazeale, Ortiz, Kownacki, Joshua. The first three in that list have fought at the Barclays and can sell tickets there. They'll generate good sales in those three fights, making the case that Wilder deserves an equal share or at least close to an equal share in the undisputed championship.

Wilder has stated that he may not even accept the fight at 50/50.

Whilst Joshua is the rated #1 and unified champ, Wilder will never be close to the earning power of Joshua, internationally. Wilder seems to forget that in order to make the money he believes the Joshua fight can, a deal needs to be in place. Currently, it is Wilder that is refusing offer after offer. Soon enough, another fighter will beat him, take the WBC and then he will miss out.

There is strategic promotion and then there's over-cooking it. Wilder/Finkel are proving to be masters of the latter.

I believe Breazeale beats Wilder.

This fight will happen a decade too late.
