    Joshua isn't signed to fight anyone.

    I get it, wilder sucks and his resume is a joke, but there's a tremendous double standard. Joshua was going to face Klitschko and received a pass on his mandatory.

    Don't get me wrong, Joshua isn't ducking and we don't know how serious Wilder is. He can call someone out all he wants, that's not how fights are made.

    It seems like the only person that WANTED to fight wilder was Povetkin lol

    I get what you're saying call his bluff but I'm not sure you've seen the IBF contract that said in the event of Wlad retiring no other fight than Pulev can take place and the WBA have just made Ortiz mandatory.
    There's a huge difference actually whilst I never liked how AJ came by the belt(some dodgy stuff there)as a champion of not very long he's showed a willingness to fight Wlad and age aside there's more chance of losing to such a great boxer than to the KO King in my opinion.
    The only double standards I can see is that Canelo was forced to fight GGG or vacate with 15 days whilst Wilder gets voluntary after voluntary and opponents who as if by magic turn up in the WBC top ten.
    As it happens I do think Wilder can beat someone like Ortiz but that's what frustrates me even more.
    Anyway it's looking like Wilder v AJ after AJs next two fights,I can live with that,

    I don't mind AJ vs Wilder after 2 fights either. But if Wilder is almost guaranteed a Joshua fight in 2018, he's going to keep taking easy fights in the meantime. People can't really complain.

    Oh for sure and could you blame him?
    I've said I don't expect him to fight any top ten now but I do want to see him in a fight that's not 80/20 in his favour

    The moment AJ has two mandatories he has to decide to fight or get stripped is when Wilder starts wanting to fight.Thats hilarious.
