    Yes i want to see this fight .

    Wilder looked bad against parker , no excuses .

    But we should see if this was a one time fail of wilder or if his power and explosiveness is truly gone - the fight against aj will tell .

    I’d watch it but I’m not going to be asking for it. Wilder has lost both times he’s stepped up to world level now, and there’s guys like Hrgovic and Zhang waiting for a well earned big fight that would be more exciting to me.

    I would rather the bodybuilder fight Dustin Nichols. Styles make fights.

    Wilder would still be way younger than Klitschko.

    Yeah, that's the fights that make sense while Usyk and Fury are busy.

    Not really bothered to be honest, I wouldn't not watch it, but I honestly would prefer Hrgovic or Zhang vs Joshua.

    Wilder right now adds little to Joshua resume, with wins over Wlad, Parker, Povetkin, Pulev, Ruiz Jr and Whyte, current version of Wilder might not even be a top 5 win for Joshua and Wilder will no doubt want a huge payday which isn't on the table anymore. I think Wilder needs to redeem himself and prove he isn't shot, by beating someone like Anderson, Sanchez, Kabayel etc. If he can win then he maybe can convince the Saudi's and some of the fans he's a threat again and the fight can be made.

    Sure. I would watch it, if the price was not crazy high. However, there are other fights I would rather see at this point.

    Yeah but I think Wilder is finished so they've probably left it too late.

    Still worth a shot, the prospect of Joshua getting sparked is too tempting

    Nope.

    1. Why should Wilder earn soo many $$$ if he just loss?
    2. Why should I be excited about fight which probably be very one sided and there is no indication that it could be otherwise

    This is what the problem with a lot of fights is, pointless stalling. We already know they're both top fighters, tf do you need some more wins on each for? Fight got ruined because they wanted more warmups like parker and wallin.

    We don't know they're top fighters.

    Wilder has1 win in 4 years and is 38.

    Sure. I'd prefer Joshua to fight Hrgovic for the vacant IBF title in April/May though.

    Well it doesn't need any hype ATM because it's a non event at the moment.

    The ship has sailed now. The only way it gets momentum again is if Wilder can prove he's still relevant.
