    Why would he not want to get that money? Don't think most fighters are ready when they get to the shot but its prize fighting.

    We forget that. But in pure pragmatic terms if he took that fight he'd have had an extremely successful prize fighting career even if AJ sparked him in a few rounds.

    He turned down a shot for millions against a foreign fighter in his hometown. Its unfathomable. Completely and utterly bewildering.

    Ruiz took a chance and smashed AJ. He's alright now. He's won the game.
    Well said.....

      Kownacki believed he could smash Wilder, but not Joshua, that is why he refused to fight Joshua for big payday and made Ruiz being a rich and happy man.

      Kownacki threw his career trough the window.

          Shocking. Kownacki has to be devastated. He might never get to a level to make close to what he was offered to fight Joshua.

            Even if he gets to that level do you know how many punches it would take him to get to that point and make that sort of money? He basically had nothing to lose like Ruiz.

              You cry too much about money.
              Both of them combined don't have a unification and defense fight.
              Fact.
              Only AJ does.

                  The bottom line is AJ has done what both of them couldn't do combined.

Instead of putting this guys in proper fights we get recycle guys, it’s like putting Dubois in there with David price as an eliminator.... C’mon man!!!
                    You mean like the last WBA final eliminator where they put Povetkin against David Price?

                      Yes, like that bogus fight. Was Price pushed up the rankings as well? Like they did Helenius? to Justify the fight?
