    Wlad could have stayed unretired and pursued the WBC belt and proved you right, however he retired and he retired for a reason.

    Wlad himself was well last his used by date also, the difference is Orti, was still fighting and beating people, Wlad was long retired.

    You must be better at building a fighter than Shelly Finkel.
    You need to get off the forum and go and live your destiny

    Even that old Wlad most likely boxes his ears off and stops him.

    Very fair points, but being unable to finish AJ after a technical back and forth to my mind doesn't mean that Wlad doesn't beat Wilder, Wilder wouldn't be able to keep up with that relatively fleetfooted version of Wlad and would end up out of position to take a knockout shot like he did against Zhang. Obviously if Wilder lands first, game over, but I don't see Wilders power outweighing Wlads technique and fundamentals

    That was not the point. It just shows that Wilder's camp wanted no parts of Wlad, just like later they wanted no parts of AJ.

    That’s your opinion. Some say AJ team wanted no part of wilder. It’s business.

    Finkel never said wanted no part of wlad, he said in a couple fights. Very rare a fighter goes for undisputed as their first defence.

    Doesn't matter Holmes was old too how did that go for Mercer? Besides Wlad was then and still is in better shape then Ortiz to this day. Wlad and even said he still spars to this day. there are levels to this game, Wilder showed repeatedly that he is barely above an old Ortiz level and that is nothing special.

    lol. So is everybody scared who doesn’t go for undisputed in their first defence?
    Grow up man!

    they might aswell try on their debut or some forum keyboard warrior might call these fighters scared.

    wlad was busy and tied up with fury’s shenanigans anyway.

    It’s super rare to go for undisputed straight after winning your first title.
    Did AJ do it? No! Was he scared?
    Did fury? No, he went off the rails. Was he pissing his pants then?

    No!

    You mean those offers with hurdles?
    Wilders team also sent offers

    Wlad a vvv strong favourite but peak Wilder was, if a little hapless, undoubtedly dangerous.

    No hurdles, Wilder just priced himself out. And even when he got a good offer, they declined. Lou di Bella literally managed to get Wilder the best deal of his life and got fired for it, lol.

    Wilder's team sent one bogus offer they wanted AJ to accept without knowing the terms. That's not an offer, that's a publicity stunt.
