    I agree with you but Parker and Wilder had been talked about for a while but he opted for the fury fight instead of the unification.

    I think he would of, he asked for the Wlad fight years ago but Wlad turned him down but I have also heard him say other things so I would say when AJ got the fight he would of taken it but before that he would refused it imo.

    I'm a wilder fan even I can see his resume is lacking, we're not saying AJ should take the fight now i just hope it's for next year.

    I think Joshua has seen what has happened to Povetkin and Ortiz and doesn't want to get busted for roids. That is what he means when he says it is high risk.

    In fight he batters Wilder, the problem is his roid use getting exposed.

    Parker attended Wilder's fight in Alabama, was it against Washington or Arreola? I don't remember.
    There's a pic.

    Joshua fought him for that payday. In other words, ANYONE would've gotten in the ring for the exposure, payday, and opportunity. Something Povetkin or whyte don't provide.
    Nah, not a duck. They'll fight, they're young.

    Then why is he trying to put it off until after man colonizes Mars? He lacks your confidence.

    Anthony Joshua seems level-headed & mature...This approach is best, now the pressure is on team Wilder, either to accept a fight with no VADA testing or there will be two champions, a PED Champion & a VADA champion

    AJ says he doesn’t want the fight until 2019 or 2020.

    He says the reason for this is Wilder has more pro experience.

    His own words.

    Translation: Quack, quack.

    I don't know about that Wilder is no joke he doesn't have all those KO's for nothing and he has real skill and is smart. But he is not ,an all time great but neither is Joshua. They both have alot to prove to us and me.

    But Wilder is not easy work if he caches Big J Joshua, he is going Night night.

    I think aj knows that there could be problems promoting a fight in the UK at least until September next year. There is two issues that are a problem. Wembley stadium is being used as a home ground for spurs(a soccer team) so hiring it is a problem until mid may next year. I also think the fact that there is a football world cup in the summer could be a problem for promoter's. Could you imagine if they made the fight, hired Wembley only to later find that England had a game on the same day. Boxing would never get close to football (soccer). Until the dates and times for that are made nobody would commit to it. I think that's why aj says he'll see what his people say.
    I think it would be different if they could fill a stadium in the US and get ppv, but wilder doesn't attract that.
