    Assuming Wilder beats Fury (or the point is moot) Wilder is the number 1 HW.

    If AJ wants to challenge himself against the unbeaten top ranked HW, he better expect to be giving up the lions share.

    Doesn't work that way.

    Besides, AJ holds 3 belts to the winners one. He remains the unified champion and the bigger draw whether the fight is made or not. If you hold most of the cards, you don't have to make concessions.

    According to youtube channel TBV "Eddie Hearn Quoted saying Saudi's paying $150 Million each fighter".

    If he wants to be number 1,he doesn't even have to make a concession. He just has to face the gut ranked above him and take an even split.

    When you hear those kind of numbers, quibbling over percentages at the risk of not making the fight seems silly.

    AJ brings the money to the fight. How can he possibly price himself out?

    Can you imagine if they did actually fight in Saudi and Wilder attempted to say something in Arabic in the ring post fight interview like AJ loooool

    Who's Wilder beat unbeaten top ranked HW ?? would Wilder be unbeaten if he'd faced who AJ has ? odd's are no.
    I don't care who gets the lions share,but I reckon it should be AJ as he sells more than Wilder does.

    If that came off I'm sure both would be happy & fight.

    I think that both Wilder and AJ are pricing themselves out. AJ said that "I just made the biggest comeback that the world has seen in our boxing history" as a justification that he deserves 70%....stupidest thing I've heard. Wilder imo is maybe worth 40% (50% if he beats fury) but he strongly believes he is worth 50%. And we all know Wilder won't take the fight unless it's 50/50.
    I think it should be 50/50 honestly because it's surely got to be the biggest HW fight in the last 10-20 years

    Whytes notable wins
    Parker
    Rivas
    Chisora x 2

    Ortiz notable wins
    Jennings (which was back in 2015)

    What's your reasoning behind suggesting otherwise?

    i think AJ wants no part of WILDER or FURY no matter what percentage it is.

    i think he gets beat quite comfortably by both these guys regardless and i'm convinced that he knows this.

    The sad part is in 42 fights Fury is the only good name you can pick, most people felt Wilder lost v Fury.
    So the same question remains.
    would Wilder be unbeaten if he'd faced who AJ has ?

    My eyes.

    People here like Parker but I don't see anything special. He's held a mickey mouse belt, so what? V. Good win all the same.

    What makes Rivas a notable win? His best win is a faaaaaaaar more faded Jennings in 2019.

    Chisora has been shot for nye on a decade (And he deserved the win anyway in the first)

    Whyte struggled with a walking chin in his latest fight. He is trash.




    Also I didn't say Wilder had the better resume, I said Wilder had fought the best recent competition. Which is true.
