Among us. Among casuals Wilders barely know. Plus, most Wilder threads are from Wilder haters or those frustrated by the fact he hasn't faced a legit top ten opponent since becoming champ. Maybe 25% of posters would give him a serious shot against AJ currently. If he beat Ortiz, 60-70% of posters would take him seriously.
The IBF clearly says "AFTER THE REMATCH" there will be no consideration for a unification. There's no rematch. So those words have no meaning in regard to whether he can fight Wilder or not. Typical dodgery.
Lol that's generous, if you done an open poll... I bet Dino, Blizzy, MVC and their alts would vote Wilder... Possibly CST as he's an AJ hater. The rest of the sensible posters would vote AJ... Total vote would be 85-15 in favour of Joshua I think.
If Hearn can secure that plan Pulev, Ortiz and Wilder. If Joshua comes through that gauntlet he secures his legacy imo.
All Wilder has to do is negotiate a fight with Ortiz and if he wins he'll put Ortiz out of the picture and have Joshua in March/April....Stiverne will be the issue here though I believe,its sad after missing two tests he's still top of the pile.Shameful.
it specifically says "no exception will be made for a unification by the IBF" if the WLad fight doesn't happen
You obviously do not understand the situation or haven't followed it closely enough. If Joshua fights Wilder next he loses BOTH belts, so he would have to vacate or be stripped of BOTH titles, Joshua has a choice Pulev or Ortiz, either way he is losing a belt but you think he should just drop both titles and fight Wilder?
That's been explained, Team Fury should have immediately asked for that exemption, they didn't, they didn't understand the rules and paid the price.
Fighting pulev its a joke!!! Drop the belt and fight wilder!! Thats the fight every one wants to see! But also i pay to see Ortiz vs AJ! Thats a real fight
Yes there is have a look at the IBF contract,it's in writing Pulev before December with no exceptions
Yes just simple boxing business,there's a vid where Hearn explains it all whilst talking to Parkers management,if Parker beats Furey in the U.K. The Hearn wants to stick one of his guys in with him like Bellew or Whyte and then with such exposure a Parker AJ fight would be nailed on. This business of coming to the UK and dealing with Hearn is not lost on Parkers team but for some reason Wilder thinks he can just not do anything,pretend he's facing guys like Ortiz and call out AJ whilst he knows full well he has the Buffet King to deal with and AJ has Pulev and possibly Ortiz,it is a business remember and when asked AJ said after his next two fights they could get it on and in the meantime build the fight between em,you do realise last time Wilder was in the U.K. He was calling out Bellew.
