How come Wilder and Fury fought each other but Joshua has fought neither

Because Wilder openly admitted to ducking Joshua?

Also the Fury-Joshua fight was basically signed before legal reasons caused the fight to fall apart.

 

It’s well documented, bait thread.

 

troll thread.

AJ hasn't ducked either of wilder or Fury.

plus their careers are still not over (we all know fury hasn't really retired) they can still fight each other.

 

Literally THIS.

 

Honestly I feel like Fury and Wilder initially kind of went into business with each other to avoid, shut out and undermine Joshua. You've gotta go with how things were AT THE TIME rather than how things look now. Yeah of course with 2022 eyes most people do the whole "lost to a fat man" "AJ has no heart" etc etc stuff and most would agree that Fury beats him fairly easily, maybe Wilder too. But in 2018 people were much higher on Joshua than they are today and much lower on Fury.

I just feel like with how quickly and out of nowhere Fury/Wilder signed a multi fight deal (Fury had only been back a few months and looked maybe a year and 3 fights out from stepping up like that, plus iirc AJ was already booked to fight Povetkin) and how they kept pushing the whole "see how easy it is to get fights made when fighters wanna fight each other *nudge nudge wink wink*" thing, it seemed kind of off.

Then again, maybe the simplest answer is the real one and AJ was ducking them both. Although he was the only one consistently facing top 10 ranked opposition at that time. So who the **** knows...

 

Wilder comatoses the bodybuilder at some stage. He would climb off the canvas and smash him

Aj now might have a heart attack if he stepped in against such a puncher. Did you all not see how tentative he has been since ruiz smashed him?

 

Let’s not forget also that Joshua’s trainer stated that Joshua was not ready for Wilder,a statement that is often over looked in discussions about who avoided who !

 

I think the doubts started to creep in after the Wlad fight and then after Ruiz 1 he has never been the same fighter .

 

Yes exactly
He is very tentative

 

Any evidence of that?

 

I don’t get why you made this thread. Truth is Wilder openly ducked AJ and Fury always seemed more interested in doing his own thing first, now he’s retired. All you want to hear is AJ slander

 

Yes there is it was widely documented in an article with Froch and Mcracken at the time

 

Hearn, he can't make the very biggest fights.

 

So widely documented that you can’t even be bothered to provide an example.

 

The fact is that AJ has never ducked an opponent. I couldn't see Wilder fighting Wlad, Usyk etc.

The Fury fight never happened because Fury is either retired or tied up in a contract. That's neither man's fault.
