    The 7 $ mil demand was for Whyte, not AJ.
    Wilder was available for Whyte but priced himself out.

    Is Joshua in your opinion?

    Maybe so. But here's the difference. Joshua began to step up beyond the tomato can level in about a year, and was fighting solid journeymen like Dillian Whyte - who they are actually talking about NOW as a Wilder opponent - two years into his career.

    Wilder didn't step up to fighters at this level, such as Malik Scott, until over FIVE YEARS into his career.

    There is a reason for this - a reason Joshua will expose brutally should they ever fight.

    No, i don't think any top 10 fighter is overrated, otherwise every heavyweight fighter would be overrated and a bum which you seem to think.

    No Lew you got it all wrong. He threw a that out there and told Hearn who he really wanted.

    Joshua didn't step up until 41 year old and came to the U.K. And the fact that you call Whyte "solid" further lets me know that ydksa the hvw division.

    Wilders not over rated.

    Wilders really good, he's just doesn't fight the top guys is all.

    I don't think he is overrated, he is a dangerous fighter but i think Joshua is better than him.

    I think that Wilder is better than Joshua. And that Joshua is dangerous for Wilder.

    AJ has a bad habit of getting caught with straight rights, and wilder has the best one in the division. I see why he's not in a hurry to fight wilder. I see AJ winning the first few rounds easily and then getting caught with a bomb and going down.

    If Whyte is such a walkover why doesn't Wilder prove it and pocket $3m in the process?

    Oh that's right, because you're full of **** just like Wilder.

    I've followed the conversation.

    I understand your frustration.

    The point is: Joshua isn't in control. He follows the path that's been set out by Eddie. At this moment in time, he doesn't need to make a fight with Wilder. His number 1 target is a rematch with Wlad. That makes better business sense. Then he can milk him for a few more fights at the 02. He's not going to be fighting Wilder anytime soon. But that does not mean that Joshua is ducking Wilder.

    You are entitled to have your opinion, we will see who is better when they get in the ring together but stop calling every fighter a bum, guys like Dillian Whyte or Kubrat Pulev are not bums, only because they are not elite doesn't mean that they are easy to beat.
