    Is still the biggest fight in boxing. This bout would resonate and propagate amongst casual sports fans globally. Although it will never happen because they are scared of each other.

    Now to a purist Fury Usyk of course is what matters and what everyone with a braincell wants to see and will see.

    But the two big gorms knocking each others head off is prime PPV viewing.

    Wilder KO3. He has heart and can pull the trigger. Joshua is the Victor Ortiz of the heavyweight division and has been overrated and oversold by the british casual. Vladimir took his soul even though he beat him.

    Both are mental messes, this fight wouldn't be as big as it could have been 4-5 years ago if it happened but it would still attract a lot of interest even to this day, if it ever happens I would give Wilder a slight edge, but we can't forget that he is already 37 years old...

    AJ is much the better boxer. I think he busts Wilder up.

    Hearn isn’t going to put AJ in with anyone with a pulse for 2 years.

    AJs fight this year will be against Shyte, and his one fight in 2024 will be another fighter who isn’t elite.

    AJ is a business not a boxer. He can’t afford another risky fight after taking two losses in a row from Usyk.

    Wilder brutally KO’s AJ if they were to fight now.

    And yet Hearn approached Wilder's people for a fight prior to Wilder's fight with Helenius only for Wilder's people to say they were focused on Helenius only and didn't want distractions. Wilder then spent the build up of Helenius calling out Joshua whenever he could lol.

    Hearn knows Wilder and Joshua would still make good money not $100 mill like before but still it would be a good cash out fight for both fighters. Better to make this fight while there's still some interest in it before one of them loses again to devalue the fight even more than it already has.

    So I kind of agree that he's more business than boxer, that was obvious in the Ruiz Jr build up, spent more time promoting himself than preparing for Ruiz. But business would now dictate to make this fight sooner rather than later.

    Make it will be a 10 rounder for an IBO secondary title!

    As part of the promotion they can get one of those new AIs to generate images of what the fighters could have done with the institutional level wealth they would have generated by fighting in 2019.

    AJ standing in front of a gleaming new school in Lagos. Deontay collecting the Nobel Prize alongside the doctors who developed a cure for spina bifida at the Wilder School of Pediatric Medicine at Tuscaloosa. Fat Tyson Fury in his caravan watching a news story about a former Olympian who died fighting in Ukraine while a surprisingly svelte Andy Ruiz takes a career ending pummeling from a chemically enhanced Big Baby Miller.

    If the Wilder AJ fight does happen, then it will be 2024. As we all know its AJ Whyte that is AJs one fight of 2023.

    So lets hope it does come off...but we will have to wait a long time for it to happen now.

    This was the biggest and most wanted fight for years. Huge stain that it never went down.

    AJ KO. It'll be one hell of a fight but let's face it AJ can actually throw more than a right hand.

    This would be an awesome fight in the UK. Will never happen. Both Glass Jawed and mentally fragile. That usually makes for an exciting fight.
