    An interesting situation to consider.

    No

    Wilder would still be undefeated holding a WBC belt and AJ would still be getting knocked over at random intervals by midgets.

    No...Wilder would have kept doing what he does and avoided AJ

    They both want to avoid each other.

    I'd say AJ Wilder even today is still the biggest fight in boxing...but it will never get made because both of them are coddled puppets with no spine & either one of them will get chinned.

    No The Dosser would be still feasting exclusively on a diet of PBC's brand tomato soup cans like Szplika, Washington, Molina, Duhaupas, Breazeale all of whom are D level, and OAPs Helenius and Arreola all brought to you by Haymon/WBC productions inc.

    Very occasionally they might line him up with short reach lead-footed giant penguins with heads which are magnets for right hands (ie. very favourable stylistic match ups for him) like Ortiz and Stiverne the former of whom was an OAP even the first time they fought albeit he actually does, unlike all the other bums they've fed him, actually possesses skill, the later a C level who like Ortiz has never beaten anyone above C level.

    Wilder declined AJ to face Fury for less money already....

    I think they would. Biggest money fight out there.

    Granted it would be a dangerous fight for either but I think the hype would have been off the charts.

    Instead Wilder decided to cherrypick a version of Tyson Fury that was straight off the fat farm and AJ decided to take on a small guy in Usyk.

    Backfired for both of them but I still think Wilder / Aj will be made. What's more I think it will be a slobberknocker while it lasts.

    Sadly it'd turn into the Crawford Spence travesty.
