    Joshua is right. The Zelenoff fight took a lot out of Wilder, and he's been on borrowed time since.

    It's all getting a little boring now but let's just state some facts, AJ has done more in 21 fights than Wilder has done in nearly double that.

    Wilder is the fighter with everything to prove still, he is widely regarded as number 2" Wilder is the one who was called a "prospect" by Finkel after his 33rd professional fight just having won a world title. Finkel also said Wilder "shouldn't be rushed".. 33 fights in, let that sink in.

    Wilder is living in AJ's shadow and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future assuming they both keep winning and its unfortunate for Wilder but he has been badly promoted and should have gone after Klitschko as soon as he became a champion.

    It's just straight jealousy with Wilder and his fans now, AJ is just the bigger star, earns far more money and has achieved more and they are going to have to learn to accept it and live with it until if and when it changes.

    The guy who has unified the division is ducking the guy who's refused to unify...

    Boxing logic.

    Vitali Klitschko was WBC champ during Wilder's 25th fight.....

    So Wilder ducked Vitali.

    So take the 15 million and run, no 50/50. For once Haymon cant dictate the terms.

    You're right...How silly of him.

    He should lose most rounds and have a defence so poor he's capable of getting hurt by an HW.

    Wilder is clearly dedicated to the fans to provide such entertainment.

    Joshua should say this if he's still undefeated and holding onto the belts 2-3 years from now. Joshua is going to look like a complete fool if Povetkin stops him next week.
