    AJ didn’t put Whyte, Klitschko out with one shot and I don’t think Parker was really badly hurt in the whole fight...hell even Takam was stopped on his feet.

    Yes, AJ could potentially stop Wilder but no way with 1 shot.

    Having said that, I’m steering clear of any ducking talk until there’s some announcements.

    Look neither is ducking each other. Both are fighters and want to fight. It's the promotors which are dragging this out. Doubt they will fight this year.

    One thing we can probably all agree on is this is getting very boring. zzzz.

    Again, I’m not calling anybody a ducker, but AJ is Hearn’s Boss in their situation not the other way round. Wilder doesn’t quite have that power when it comes to Haymon though

    Get it straight Hearn works for Femi not the other way round

    Femi wants it in the UK, he don’t want to Travel to Vegas, he don’t want to travel to New York, but most of all he don’t want to travel to Moscow, I’l leave to your imagination as to why that is.

    And btw Sasha is just as dangerous a fight as The Bronze Bummer trust me

    Femi not many fights left gets out early log it

    Hearn said it was Joshua's decision whether to take the fight or not.

    I'm dissapointed as i have been a fan of joshua and up until the klitschko fight i belived he would destroy wilder.

    But since then he just hasn't looked great at all to me. Klitschko was an epic fight but joshua showed a lot of weakness against an old klitschko who i thought he would have finished off mid rounds.

    Then he was dominant vs Takam but looked out of ideas against an old, small guy who just shelled up, just clubbing away.

    Then vs Parker i thought ok he's got a guy who is defensively flawed and zero head movement and joshua put on a very odd display winning by basically spamming a range finder jab. It was a weird fight which i didnt think joshua looked confident in.

    Basically i see wilder, flawed as he is as the more confident fighter, HE WILL let the hail marys fly and joshua will not be able to win putting in a basic plodding display based around a weak jab.

    He's a promoter. He lies for a living.

    AJ wouldn’t duck anyone and I’m guessing neither is Wilder. What is happening is we the public who will be PPV raped when this fight happens is being fed exactly what they want to feed us to get us to part with the £25 each we will prob have to pay to see this fight happen. Both want a legacy and both want so much money that if they lose then it really doesn’t matter cos the dollar is in the bank!

    The fight will happenbut it’s all about timing. Once people start saying nothing about the fight then their bum holes will twitch and all of a sudden you will see announcements galor!

    The one I feel for is Whyte cos if he beats the likes of Pulev ( which is a very tough fight ) he may be mandatory for Wilder maybe and then all of a sudden Eddie needs to make a decision that will **** one of his fighters off and I know which one he won’t want to **** off!

    The level of shotness to the VLAD who faced the chinny robot at Wembley is off the charts.

    Put aside the fact he hadn't won a fight for three years, and park the fact he hadn't stepped in a ring for two.

    The grey hair was obviously a red flag but the real slam dunk which I'm still yet to see anyone contest was the state of Klitschko's BACK in that fight. Guy had the back of a 75+ year old man in a chair. It was horrendous and has been conveniently airbrushed from history by hearn and sky but the photos don't lie.

    Go and rewatch that fight and tell me your granddad's back isn't in a better condition than old VLAD's was that night.

    I trawled the internet for close to eleven months to try and find an example of a back even approaching the level of shotness that VLAD's exhibited that night and gave up my search. The closest I came was ricky hatton's back in his ill feted comeback against the ghost of Andrei Shevchenko but that one isn't in the same league as the saggy grey monstrosity VLAD was sporting.

    Happy to be corrected on this as always.

    I think Eddie sees Wilder as far too dangerous if he can see out stadiums with AJ once or twice a year why risk it I don’t believe AJ is scared more Hearn is trying to steer him in another direction for all his faults Wilder is one very dangerous man if he connects it’s over

    I’m one of AJ’s biggest fans but him and Hearn have had their kecks pulled down here.

    First of all this fight is bigger than what they thought. It easily does $100mil in the US (especially with UK buys too) in my opinion.

    Secondly putting stuff out in the open leaves you to get your arse handed to you. Eddie was winning and now looks a silly ****.

    Thirdly this IS NOT a duck. Before all these offers came out in the open, Joshua told us straight after the Parker fight it had to be here in the UK. Silly numbers then got bandied about and him and Eddie flirted with them and now has made them look stupid. He’s not suddenly saying it has to be in the UK he’s pretty much said that from the off. Let’s not also deny that Wilder is fighting Breazale next anyway!
