There's no evidence to suggest either man 'wants the fight'....or that either man is 'hiding'. You only have eithers words. Both have set roadblocks at multiple times over the past couple of years. Neither man can 'Control' what the other is thinking.....You can only 'control the controllables'. Wilder is the older man, the longer pro with near double the fights...... If he wants an explanation as to why he's not 'the man', he can only look at himself.
