Do people understand why Joshua is ducking Wilder now?

    No he didnt back in 2009 for the first talks pac didnt want to random blood test period roach said it was their fault the fight didnt get made back then. Ill post the video later of roach saying it was their fault and then you will be looking stupid.

    The truth is neither guy went out of their way to make the fight other than the first talks and the last ones that finally made the fight. Btw im sure when i post the video youll ignore it because you already said pbf never fought anyone hungry and hand picked everyone. You're a typical pbf hater still mad that pbf tooled pac and you never got to see him take an L in the ring. So go ahead and keep that myth alive since it helps you sleep better at night.

    Lol.. these dudes are still salty and obsessed with Mayweather 2 years later. I'm one of Floyd's biggest fans on here but even I don't care or think about him at all anymore.

    It isn't an easy fight for either fighter. There are just as many Joshua fanboys believing he ends it within 3-4 rounds based on last nights performance from Wilder. They forget the limited Whyte had success against AJ and Takum managed to survive for most of the fight with barely little preparation.

    I just don't see Joshua as this indestructible force that he's been made out to be. Sure he packs a punch and has massive arms and size advantage over his opponents. But other than that I don't see anything special that a good equally advantaged fighter can't negate.

    With Wilder I see something different, unpredictability, movement, speed and power. He possess attributes which you simply can't teach or train and I believe he along with Parker are actually clean honest Heavyweights which make them go up in my estimation. I can't say the same about AJ.

    There is no ducking. The ducking claims are just one of the ways Wilder fans and/or AJ haters try to cast doubt on his status as the #1 HW in the world.

    How many more times am I going to have to post this as proof of a duck?

    Sky Sports Question to Joshua - Will you fight Wilder?

    ''I started boxing 2010, Wilder turned pro 2009, so he’s been a pro one year longer than my whole career,” the IBF and WBA champion told Sky Sports.

    “So you can see why they’re rushing him for certain reasons and you can see why I’m taking my time for certain reasons.

    “The fights are there, but as I say I’m going to do it in my own time when I feel ready''

    True both side seem to be saying the same things!!! Someone is going to be right!!

    Personally I'd like to see Parker beat them both!!!

    People have been claiming Joshua would KO Wilder without breaking a sweat for years.

    The reality is Wilder is the most dangerous fight out there for Joshua and both he and Hearn are only too aware of it.

    If that's proof of a duck then this must be proof that he's not ducking. From November;

    However, Joshua told Press Association Sport: "If Wilder's not making an offer we'll do it on my terms. Present him with an offer, and see how they feel about that offer.

    "That only goes to the champions: Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker. It's the same situation to both of them.

    "It's no problem if Wilder wants to fight early next year, but no offers have been made to me. There has never been an offer. Everyone says they want to fight, and then sits back and waits for me to do all the homework.

    "What we then have to do - which Eddie's doing - is fly out to the United States to make time.

    I'm a UK fan but I'm neutral about this fight. Just want to see the top guys compete and soon.

    On that basis if Wilder gets in the ring after AJ beats Parker and the fight isn't made next I'll be pretty pissed and the pressure on Hearn and Joshua will turn up quick. UK fans are loyal but also smell BS fast.

    Even if they make it for November/December with nothing in between I'll be fine with it. Just get it made. All other fights are bum fluff compared to the prospect of AJ/Wilder. Do it over here with a rematch clause in Vegas or vice versa.

    Now before it goes the same way as Brook/Khan...past the point of people really wanting to see what happens.

    The proof is in the pudding. Wilder has begged Joshua to fight him and all he can do his hide behind Eddie Hearn and put his destiny in his hands.

    That's not the sign of a confident fighter. True champions don't hide behind their managers to make fights happen and ask fans to look to them when it fails to materialise.

    That's what duckers do.

    I like Wilder and I’m pulling for him to unify the division, but unless he improves his technique, Joshua will
    KTFO him.

    Wlad who lost to Joshua most likely would lose to Wilder too.
    Wlad was past his prime with Jennings, Fury, Joshua.
    Wlad from Haye fight would beat them all and yes Wilder is prob the weakest oponent, but I think Wilder still has very good chance to stop that robotic, flatfooted, empty tank roid head . Wilder vs Joshua is 50/50 fight.
    Brits as always overrate their boxers.

    Who has Wilder faced that's the same size as him? Closest thing is Duhaupas, he'll get a rude awakening when he faces Joshua.

    And visa versa..

    Fights get made in private not on Twitter.. We have AJ v Parker.

    Anyone who think either fighter is scared is delusional, they all think they are the best and want to show others, look at who Wilder fought when he didn't have to just to defend his soft record..

    What will stop this fight is the negotiations and it won't be the fist time look at May Pac... Happened too late...

    Egos and demands get in the way not the other fighters fear...
