I'd like to see AJ/Fury or even AJ/Wilder fight. As I mentioned before, fans can't have it both ways. Complain the best aren't fighting the best, but when a fighter fights a good opponent and loses, he doesn't get a chance to fight another top opponent because fans aren't interested anymore. People actually saying AJ should retire if he loses the rematch to Usyk. With that kind of fan support, kinda makes sense why fighters cling to their 0 so desperately.
Fans are quick to call BS on weak PPV cards or circus shows, quick to call out guys that cherry pick or call out an exposed "hype job". The reality is, the fans are the ones that ruined boxing. Criticizing a fighter when he steps up and loses. Buying these weak PPV cards(I'm guilty) when we know they're garbage. If fans didn't cut so deep when a fighter tries and loses and stop paying for these weak PPV, I'm sure we'd get better quality fights.

The consumers dictate a lot of what happens in boxing, ultimately. Promoters sell us ten thousand belts being defended once a decade in hyped-up fights where both boxers pretend to hate each other...because we buy it.
