    I hardly call it a duck, he’s fighting a tougher guy next who already beat Wilder twice, one fight being an ability massacre. People throw the word duck around way too often, there are plenty of good examples of that (Bowe-Lewis, Joshua-Wilder, Whyte-Ortiz), this isn’t one of them.

    Parker did and won every round. Wilder is no boogeyman, nor has he ever been one.

    Wilder readily admits to ducking Joshua to fight Fury,Joshua readily admits ducking Wilder to fight Povetkin,Joshua gets a pass but Wilder gets wailed on constantly. I have posted links on here numerous times showing such in Joshua’s own words,but the links are wrong lol . The fact is they both ducked each other to do something else,boxers and there management do this all the time for a multitude of reasons it’s part of the game,the fights we want to see either happen or they don’t .

    Why would anyone duck a man who quit against Fury?

    I’ve only just actually read through this nonsense and clicked some of the links. Some of the quotes are very selective and that’s being generous.

    Wilder was never that good, he was overrated.

    Usyk should have stayed a cruiser and become a legend, he will always look human at heavyweight because he will always be smaller than his opponent.

    After Wilder got smashed by Fury and who is Usyk fighting for the undisputed title now? Why would he want to fight Wilder in 2023? Dubois was a mandatory defense.

    Is Dubois’s win over Miller better than any win Wilder has on his cv?

    You can only duck a fighter if:

    1) He's the number one nominated contender and you are the champion

    2) You are offered a career's best payday.

    Other than that, there are no ducks.

    Usyk was in talk's with Fury for a unification fight, as soon as it became clear that Fury was just messing with him and always wanted his circus fight with Ngannou. the moved on to mandatory that was already ordered and would of stripped him if he refused the Dubios fight.

    I think Ruiz probably ducked Wilder ngl. With AJ, they were both at fault for not fighting in 2018/2019, their promoters had some pointless grudges. AJ wanted 60/40, Wilder wanted 50/50 but I saw absolutely no one asking for 60/40 to winner.

    Joshua not only ducked Wilder through Wilder's prime, but even ducked him after he'd been KO'd twice by Fury and was 38.
    This is clear as day now.

    Joshua chose Wallin on the 'big Saudi card' instead of Wilder, who was also there. It's absurd to think he wasn't ducking Wilder again, at least to age him even more. Then afterwards Wilder still wants the fight but Joshua isn't interested.

    This has to officially go down as a duck now.
