    They both got beaten 2 times in a row by the same guys. Their boxing careers are uncertain now. I hope to see Wilder vs AJ soon. They both will definitely try to K.O. each other to build up their confidences if they meet. It's gonna be a great match up fight.

    No, Wilder got beat 3 times. And AJ didn't get KO'd both times like Wilder either, he lost both on points

    The same situation here means they lost to the same guys 2 times in a row and they both lost their world titles. BTW, Wilder didn't get beaten by Fury 3 times. Where the hell did you get that from?

    We know which guy takes a lot of pride in getting bronze / 3rd place.

    They won't fight each other if a belt is not on the line!

    They have a nice rivalry. The fight needs to happen before they get too old.

    Not really. Wilder got his brains scrambled twice and has a dent in his head.

    Wilder is delusional and was beaten badly and was KTFO even worst. AJ at least actually learn from his fights and improve with every single one, win or lose.
    I doubt they will face each other next though.
    Wilder will fights bum only, and AJ will be fed with solid opponents, that doesn't posses much though to beat him.

    Yeah I feel the same. It would of happened already if Wilder and his team really wanted it but now with no titles and it being far less lucrative I don't see it happening. If it ever does happen it will probably be when both are totally shot, like Brook/Khan and at that point I won't care.

    Neither team were exactly leaning over backwards to make the fight. Hearn was talking about 70-30 splits, one-way rematch clauses and two fights in Britain, "we're the A-side, they can come back and talk in 6 months if they don't like it." Instead Fury took 50-50, went to America and stole AJ's thunder.

    Considering that long-reigning champ Wilder held the final piece of the undisputed puzzle and the extremely lucrative nature of the fight, they should have offered 50-50. But Hearn was overconfident in AJ's abilities so he didn't consider the possibility of his man being destroyed by a stubby, leaden-footed, light puncher. He also wanted to narrow AJ's experience deficit and age the 4 years older Wilder out, while letting the fight "marinate" a la Floyd-Pac. A disastrous gambit all round.
