    To be fair he tried and two of them got popped for steroids. Before that Klitschko-Fury were supposed to fight again and then when that fell through Josha got the fight and thew Wlad retired. Now he is trying to fight Joshua but his side doesnt seem to want it. It's obvious it's not going to happen next but hopefully they fight after one more fight each

    Everyone is looking for the AJ lotto, Wilder is not worth the risk unless you are on PEDS it seems

    AJ can cherry pick anyone because he is a cash cow, he can pick and choose.
    Wlad was 41yo and had been schooled 18 months earlier by Fury, he had picked up injuries a long the way and hadn't had a win for 2 years. Lets not call this close to a prime Wlad ffs, and AJ went life and death with him.

    I recall the Povetkin situation, that was a little iffy, especially considering time constraints on fight to get it made. Definitely different then just a regular positive test, with it's use being legal at one point. I honestly can't recall what the WBC's statement was in regards to Pov. Do you know? I can research myself if needed.

    I might be in left field here but I also felt Canelo wanted the GGG fight sooner and much blame had to go to the promoters as they front the cash. Few boxers get to say, "Hey I want this fighter and want it done now"

    As I remember they initially postponed the fight then announced that he was under the threshold but Wilder had already left the country at that point and refused to fight. Second time was clear cut though and completely agree with Wilders stance.

    Wilder is the new "can man", he took that moniker from Adrien Broner. He'll fight any can as long as they are a tomato can.

    From what I understand AJ's promoter wants to milk this fight . And wants the casual Brit fight fans to get to know Wilder, thus the Dillian Whyte fight.

    This marinating process was done before by Floyd and Oscar.

    If you enjoyed it then you should enjoy it now lol.


    Its called boxing karma

    With a name like LANCE should you know they are all on PEDs

    The only ones with the problems are those that get caught with a publically failed test.

    I didn’t enjoy it then and I don’t enjoy it now. Pacquaio was never gonna beat Floyd “NEVER”. So I’m not sure why it was “Marinated”. AJ and Hearn keep ducking quack quack. Every time Wilder fights all I ever here is he’s a tomato can crusher. Jesus Christ people get a grip Joshua beat an old ATG who should have retired years ago. If Wilder is a can crusher, then is so is Joshua he’s just duck flavored. I don’t even like Wilder like that but if you deny Hearn and AJ are ducking your just as bias as Lance99 and that’s bad for your health

    I'm denying that Hearn doesnt want it now. Wilder and AJ will fight. When I have no idea.

    We already saw this A side B side ish play out before.


    They marinate fights to maximise the profits.

    They wouldn't have sold 4.5M PPV in 2010 but they did in 2015.

    We as fans should not play this game by refusing to watch or buy PPV if its not the huge fight we wanna see.

    But we know thats not gonna happen
