Anthony Joshua clearly ducked Deontay Wilder

[SinderellaMan]

Lol bla bla bla. 1st good fighter Wilder faced he got destroyed. No wonder master Al and Shirley wanted to keep him away from Joshua.

Joshua offers to Wilder = 7
Wilder offers to Joshua = 0

There you are.
Run out pens to sniff little boy?

Josh seems to be more humble in general since loss. So more willing to compromise

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Let’s take a look at all the things Anthony Joshua couldn’t compromise on until someone not named Deontay Wilder held the WBC title.

50-50 was absolutely outrageous and the only way the unification could happen was if Wilder took a smaller cut. At one point, the cut was a flat fee.

Now that Tyson Fury holds the WBC title, 50-50 is immediately agreed on. In fact, Fury will get 60-percent in the rematch if he wins the first fight.

Having the Joshua-Wilder fight in the USA was deemed outrageous. Joshua is the draw who sells out soccer stadiums. It had to be in the UK.

When it’s Joshua-Fury, two fighters from the UK, the fight is happening in the USA.

To get the Joshua fight, Wilder had to sign a multi-fight contract with DAZN. When he refused, everyone said this was him ducking the fight.

Now that Fury has the WBC title, a unification fight can happen without all the parties being signed to DAZN.

Yup, pretty much the biggest duck I’ve ever seen. Luckily, Joshua gets to cash out in a super fight anyway.

He ducked Wilder and I’m su****ious he’ll duck Fury as well.

Once the mandatory’s are cleared, let’s see if team AJ still have the same enthusiasm about fighting Fury.

You trying too hard. Once Wilder turned down the DAZN deal and let Lou walked out, it became apparent he was the one ducking the fight. Announcing TWO separate fights on the eve of the Joshua/Ruiz fight sealed his faith 😂 no coming back from that one.

Why doesn’t Tyson Fury have to sign with DAZN to fight Joshua?

Oh yeah, because Joshua was trying to duck Wilder.

I wish someone "ducked" me by offering me 120 million when I was only making about 1-2 million per fight hahah. Wilder fans are the worst on the planet. You guys are a combination of Trump fans, Canelo fans and flat earthers hahaha.

[ELPacman]

Why on earth would Wilder have ducked the easier opponent when compared to Fury??? AJ doesn't have half the boxing ability of Tyson Fury.

So your saying Wilder goes life and death with Tyson the first time, and then goes through with the rematch a second time rather than go for the easier opponent in AJ??? Especially after having seen AJ get iced by Ruiz??? You got to be delusional.

Wilder has said it multiple times he wanted AJ. Shelly and management threw crazy offers to get AJ to bite, but never did they. It's like the more that was thrown at them, the scarier it got for them because they knew they weren't ready for the fight and it was looking dumb for not accepting.

If anything, the loss Wilder took might make AJ a bit more confident to go for it. At this point, they both have a KO loss so they are equal. Yeah, AJ is still the better boxer, but Wilder can still punch and AJ is no Tyson Fury. I think whoever lands first will put the other out really but by no means would I immediately favor AJ over Wilder. To me it would be a true 50/50 fight, HOWEVER, the longer they wait, the less chance I give Wilder. Wilder although is a heavyweight, his best years are leaving him at his age while AJ is just into his prime. They're waiting Wilder out until he's nothing left.

If AJ dared to be great and insisted on making the fight, I believe it could easily have happened.

Unfortunately for us, AJ, Hearn and the rest of the cronies were too concerned about their percentage, and that Wilder could lay their golden boy spark out on the floor. Easier to keep fighting guys like Povetkin.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Deontay Wilder was always uncomfortable each time Anthony Joshua's name was mentioned.

Wilder was more eager to face Fury, due to his lack of power punching ability.

[ShaneMosleySr]

I’m clearly not a Deontay Wilder fan.

Why didn’t Tyson Fury have to sign a multi-fight contract with DAZN to get the Joshua fight? Why did he get 50% from Joshua without hassle? Why is the fight going to be in the United States?

Someday you’ll address this instead of deflecting.
