    Yeah. "A-side" BS isn't factored into the equation when it's a fighter you actually like. Right?

    Wilder refused to fight Vladimir Klitschko, an old Vlad. He refused to fight Whyte, Miller, Ortiz, because they are threats. Wilder only wants winos from the alley..............................Wilder is a fraud!

    It's curious why he wouldn't want to fight Whyte for a guaranteed career high purse. Whyte's about the upper end level of opponent that Wilder could beat, but either his handlers or himself didn't consider it a safe fight. Quite sad really, since it was a massive missed opportunity.

    The Whyte fight would be a perfect setup to fighting AJ in front of a massive crowd in the UK on PPV. But Wilder prefers taxi drivers and bums in Alabama on free TV.
