    Ugh... Simple question. When did Wlad ever indicate that he wanted to fight Wilder. I'm not defending Wilder so no need to go over why you think he ducked wlad I will accept that for now. I'm asking why there are two different standards being applied here and nothing more. I'm not asking whether or not wlad wanted to unify in general even though he was never undisputed. I'm asking why him not actively pursuing Wilder specifically is not considered a duck when its being called a duck if it's the other way around. Benefit of the doubt?

    You are asking that question because you DKSAB. Wilder won the title in 2015. By that time Klitschko already had a mandatory opponent lined up: Fury. Obviously he fought his mandatory, he lost, so he sought a rematch. The rematch didn't happen, so he fought the next best heavyweight, which was also the biggest / most lucrative fight for him at that time: Joshua. Both of these fighters were better opponents than Wilder who was already humiliated by Wlad in sparring, so the Ukrainian had nothing to be afraid of.

    The better question is why Wilder didn't want to be Wladimir's mandatory so he could challenge him for the title. Why did he want to be mandatory for the WBC title which Wlad didn't hold? Ask yourself these questions instead, sycophant.

    Wladimir Klitschko doesn't want to sound as though he's looking past his Saturday night opponent, American Bryant Jennings, but the Ukrainian fighter already has an eye on future bouts. The opponent he most wants to face next is Tuscaloosa's Deontay Wilder.”

    Wladimir Klitschko Camp Targets Deontay Wilder
    Quote from Wlad Coach/Trainer
    “I would personally like to see him fight Deontay Wilder so that he can fulfill his dream of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion. I would personally like to see him fight the WBC champion, Deontay Wilder”

    34 seconds in, Wlad clearly saying he wants to fight Wilder.

    Heres another reason Wilder never wanted anything to do with Klitschko!

    Klitschko left the 6ft 7in Alabaman out for the count after their sparring took a rugged twist.
    He said: "I've seen him getting knocked out, Wladimir knocked him out.
    "He knew what happened. He had his hands up. He was roughing Wlad up, bringing the smoke, and he was going wild.

    "Wlad backs up, changes his footwork, feinting, feinting, jabs to the body, throws that feint jab, left hook. Wilder had his hands up, he was gone.
    "It wasn't no knockdown, he was knocked cold. Properly twitching as well.

    "That's why they probably didn't want him to fight Wlad, because Wlad was going to fight him as a pro and Wilder never fancied it the whole time."

    Is Dillian Whyte a reputable source when it comes to Wilder?

    Whats your opinion on Whyte's comments regarding his own sparring sessions with Wlad? He claims he roughed Klitschko up so bad they sent him home.

    "He broke Sexton's nose," recalled Whyte. "I said 'nah. Woah, you're not knocking me out. I'm coming'.

    "I went in there and started roughing him up and having a proper fight with him. I got sent home for that."
