    Lol they don't seem like enemies back then, this was April 2017 after AJ beat Klitschko....then a few months later after Wilder beat Stiverne he starts calling out AJ like he's been ducking him for years

    Like how it looked like AJ was the man leaning in with his glove first, despite victory was showing respect to Wilder.

    It does now stink of one upmanship (desreved at the time by AJ imho) but Wilder reciprocated, shame more wasn't made of this at the time

    Great find bro

    Um you know most of these fighters have no problem with each other. They know if they act loud and make threats the casual fans will want to see the fight more. They saw how being loud made Floyd Mayweather Jr rich. They saw how acting like a fool made Conor McGregor rich. Now every boxer and MMA fighters act this way for attention.

    Because obviously AJ has been loud and a fool over the past 2 years..oh wait. He's actually been very quiet and let his talking take place in the ring.

    Wilder has been loud and a fool, but you can't trust a word he says, and that's provided you can understand the words that he says.

    He fought Klitschko. And you can say 'Oh but he was way past it'..it's still Klitschko and he almost took AJ out. He was still in shape and still mentally sharp. And the movement hadn't disappeared anywhere.

    He's beaten the best British opponent he could have done at the time by beating Whyte. He beat Parker, a world champion. He's beaten Povetkin, an olympic gold medallist and extremely dangerous fighter to face. Those hooks would have destroyed Wilder and the rest, and AJ did a controlled, professional job on an elite heavyweight. Yes he was old, but again...he was still a huge risk and he showed it in round 1 of that fight.

    Usyk the Cruiserweight King looks to be running scared of Takam, while AJ dispatched of him with ease despite having suffered a broken nose half way through and having to adapt after Pulev pulled out last minute.

    Meanwhile, what has Wilder done? Struggled badly against Ortiz and nearly got KO'd by someone who was only declared medically fit with 24 hours to go. And he got well and truly taught a lesson against Fury. Instead we have the Wilder fanclub going wild over a quick KO against a bang average Breazeale at the weekend which he was always going to win regardless.

    Wilder declined to enter the ring even though he was being pressured by the paid crew .

    Wilder gives Joshua props and continues to suggest he wants a Bellew fight no mention of AJ.

    Wilder goes back to the U.S. Immediately states.........

    " AJ's a ducker " :crazylick:

    They are not and never have been enemies. They are just trying to sell a fight that hopefully will happen while it's still peak interest.

    Deontay should have sucker punched that arrogant bodybuilder, and socked him in the face.

    On second look yes I jumped the gun after only reading one of your posts, I wronlgy assumed you as someone defending Wilder, my bad.

    Can't say I agree with your choice of wording, not sure why sexuality was mentioned so much but each to their own.

    Like I said, apologies in part.

    Wilder is quite insignificant compared to AJ. It's like Cuba being the enemy of the USA. Quite irrelevant.

    Keep telling you all to not fall for their crap about who's ducking who as imo neither wanted the fight in 2018 and recently Fury threw a spanner in the works,when he fought Wilder.
    Seriously I think we're being played by both teams as they wanted time to build up Wilders name in the U.S. and for Joshua to get some time done over there also.
    Just like how fights have always been made so it will be when they want this done?fights have never been thrashed out on social media and imo that's just a PR thing and like GGG and Canelo they'll get it done behind closed doors.
