    Wladimir should come back and spark Wilder. Easy work. Even at 43. Just like when they sparred. Wilder showed vs Fury he ain’t improve that much anyway

    Well Fury ran from a rematch, and Wilder ran from Wlad his whole career. Now both are afraid to get hurt and refuse to fight Joshua, and niether will fight Whyte, Miller, Parker, Povetkin, Hunter, Usyk, Hrgovic etc in the near future. It only seems logical Matchroom, Joshua and Klitschko would push for a rematch, its still a huge fight on a huge stage that would also show what Wilder-Fury 2 is, a pointless bore with another robbery/rematch clause to set up Wilder- Fury 3. I can see these 2 fighting no one but each other for the rest of their careers, screaming "pest vs the mess!".

    Id like Wlad to come back and fight Wilder. Wilders time frame to face the only real person to face in the division for a good decade was alot bigger than Joshua's or Fury's yet they both fought him but Deontay didnt. Wilder had an oppertunity and Finkel dismissed it instantly as a crazy idea even though he had already had over 30 fights and was a world champion. Id love to see that fight. Then he can beat Wlad (he cant beat Wlad) and then Fury and Joshua cant point out Wlad as somebody Wilder ducked.

    I would like to see Wlad face a contender before getting another title shot.

    What Finkel says must be the absolute truth , yes ? If you take his word for everything he says then you must also agree with these comments.

    True or false?

    I didn't know this. How do you feel about Joshua hiding away from Wilder?

    It goes on and on. If what he said about Wlad is the truth , then you must also acknowledge that what he said about Joshua is the truth.

    The idea that Joshua doesnt want the fight is the punchline of boxing jokes around the world. Wilder doesnt want the fight yet because he wants to build a PPV profile so he can generate more money. He just lost to Fury and all the contenders have been calling him out for ducking for years. End of story lol.

    Earth to Veekus - Wlad never approached Wilder to make that fight so there's no way he could have avoided him his "whole career".
    Wilder had just picked up the belt when Finkel made that comment. Not rushing into a Klitschko fight doesn't mean they never wanted the fight. If an offer was made they could have changed their minds , but no offer was ever made.
    People say one thing , then do another all the time in boxing. Fact is Wilde never turned down or avoided Klitschko fight.

    All i know is 2 Boxers claim to want to fight each other but that the other Boxer is ducking. So which one is it? Well one side has passed the other side 4 or 5 contracts. Some signed, some with 2 way rematch clauses and all for more money than the other fighter has ever earned from a single fight. The other side has sent nothing, ever. But has refused to hold meetings to discuss a potential fight. To me its not much of a struggle to see which side has put the effort in to try get the fight made and which side has just done lots of talking to the media but havnt lifted a finger to get the fight made.

    Charlie Zelenoff - technically he is the second man to loose to Wilder on points

    Please no.

    Wlad's reflexes have slowed down and he cant do 12 rounds any longer. He lost the first AJ fight because he gased and AJ jumped on him, as well as the fact he was too cautious to go for the kill when he had AJ hurt. He isnt going to be any fitter or able to do 12 rounds any better as he will be even more rusty and older.
