    i actually believe wilder when he says he wants to fight AJ. i like AJ but i do believe hearn dont want it.

    hearn is trying to get paid twice. wilder vs whyte then wilder vs AJ. Hearn owns both fighters

    You're right, but I just don't like the Sound of it. If every titlist\top contender who's a slight risk to AJ will have to build pressure on Hearn and be asked to raise their profile to get the big fight in UK, then Joshua's reign is gonna be a painful one.

    "The money is in America, Floyd made his living in Vegas, they don't want to come to America, they don't want to smoke with me".....The Champ

    He could have added they don't want to come to America because he don't want to be caught doping or they wont have a chance at a protected British stoppage in America.

    AJ is very powerful and strong but somehow limited .I can't quite put my finger on why he has clubbing power but not one shot KO power doesn't have a great jab but its ok it like he is quite good at every thing but not excellent at anything .his huge size gets the job done against most current opponents but I still have doubts his chin and stamina worry me and he seems one dimensional .To the casual fan he looks great huge in great condition boy next door type but there's something missing I think.He may well steamroller wilder in the early rnds but wilder has that bit of devil in him that AJ perhaps doesn't I think wilder enjoys hurting fighters gets a kick out of sparking his Opponents out when destroyed spkiiker he looked very pleased .AJ will probably do well and good luck to him but I am not convinced

    Wilder v Joshua, the problem is which fighter is going to give up home country advantage? Cannot see under any circumstances Wilder going to the UK and doesnt look like Joshua fancies the trip to the States yet, but he may do in a few fights, hard to know but at least he is talking of making the trip. Some fighters travel well and some just dont' at all.

    The champ? Meaning....Fury? Wilder lays no claim to the title of HW World Champion. Currently, that distinction falls to Fury (As the linear HW World Champ) and AJ, who has most of the belts.

    Glad Wilder dropped his 50-50 garbarge, agreed with a more realistic 60-40 split

    Wilder would expose him, so would king kong, and Parker is about to.

    Its becoming clearly obvious that Team Joshua will do anything to keep AJ away from the champ.

    Why hasn't Wilder chased the other belts?

    Wlad?
    Vitali?
    Haye?
    Parker?

    As it stands, given this is ultimately all about money, Wilder doesn't have a leg to stand on as to where this currently takes place, he's just not drawing enough money in the US to make it worthwhile.

    I can see AJ going to the USA in the interim and fighting someone completely random and still raking in more on a PPV than Wilder in his own country.

    So, if AJ v Wilder is the next fight, it's makes no commercial sense whatsover to have it in the USA.

    If both are prepared to 'swap' for their next fights (AJ v Miller in USA? / Wilder v Whyte in UK?) that, assuming both get through their fights, would possibly create enough interest for it to take place in Vegas or MSG as there would be a huge contingent of Brits make the journey.
