Some interesting points for those calling AJ a coward and saying he's ducking Wilder

Many fans ignore facts and play favorites. The facts are right there plain as day. AJ has fought far more good fighters in about half the fights than Wilder has fought. Wilder has fought a legit top 10 heavyweight in Stiverne and a legit top 5 guy in Ortiz. That's it. Nobody else he fought was really a top 10 heavyweight. AJ has fought legit top 10 guys in Martin and Whyte and legit top 5 guys in Vlad and Parker and soon Povetkin.

Originally posted by LetOutTheCage View PostYeah that was a PR disaster and you will notice Joshua went quiet after that. No doubt hearn instructed him to do this. What I will say is that a 50m offer but with no contract and a 24h timeline suggests that Wilders camp werent serious either. I have seen a lot of point scoring from both sides tbh
Too much was lined up for the it not to be a serious offer.

You can bring up the 50m offer but with a 24hr deadline set by Wilders team, no contract and a refusal to meet Hearn suggests it was a PR stunt based off of Joshua saying something naively.

There would've been no need to if that was the case.
