    I have been wanting Joshua vs Wilder for a while...but it does not seem like Joshua (or his team) wants to take the risk of either guy. I think Joshua would beat both of them, but will be surprised if he or his team step up.

    To me the bigger fight is Fury vs Wilder II. They both impressed me (not a fan of either), and I think they are the bigger draw than Joshua...at least in my mind I want Fury Wilder II more than I want Joshua...let him wait for the winner.

    I really don’t think Joshua easily beats Wilder. I think they will fight in April and it’ll be a great occasion at Wembley, it’s a 50-50 fight. Wilder can catch Joshua and probably end the fight at any moment, makes it very exciting.

    Do you really think Wilder wants a 2nd go at Fury though? Compare it to GGG - Canelo. Most thought Canelo got away with one but the only money fight for both was the rematch. This time, Wilder has got away with one and the money fight is elsewhere. I’ll be happy with either of the 3 elite Heavys fighting next but I think it’ll be Joshua - Wilder.

    Yes I do...and I thought it was a draw ( and had Canelo in the rematch 7-5)...but personally am not a fan of any of the 4...I do hate all 4 of thier fans, but respect all 4 fighters.

    Say what you will about Wilders skill, I agree he is limited. But he wants the recognition of fighting the best and making the most $. Much like Fury said after the fight he and wilder are the only 2 willing to fight the best. I do think AJ beats both of them, but find him much more reluctant to fight either of them than they are to fight each other.

    So yeah I think Wilder would fight him again in a heartbeat. Although with politics I won’t be surprised if we get none of them, or have to wait a while for any/all of them.

    Having to wait for any of those fights would be a disgrace. I agree with a lot of what you say but I think it’s more down to the team guiding AJ more than anything. I like him but he’s been built up very well and will listen to the people who have done that for him. Personally, I think both AJ and Wilder will be very willing to fight each other next - let’s see.

    I hope we don’t have to wait for them either. I like all 3 of them but am not a fan of any of them. I am a big fan of the best fighting the best and hope we get something that leads down that road.

    Joshua vs Fury.
    I’d still like to see Joshua vs Wilder, but honestly, it has lost some of its shine. Even if Joshua beats Wilder, in my mind he still needs to beat Fury to legitimise being undisputed, given Saturdays fiasco.

    We’ll see. There isn’t a bad fight among them.

    I put Joshua v Wilder because it’d be an exciting fight and as a Fury fan I want him to be 100% when he takes on AJ, which could be a couple more fights. Joshua v Wilder is intriguing. AJ doesn’t have the movement, slickness and sheer will of Tyson therefore easier to KO him but he is a better, albeit average, boxer and has power of his own. This isn’t going to points.

    Wilder is a below average boxer but has freakish power, it’s survival for 12 rounds trying to avoid that bomb. Hell, Tyson dominated for 11 rounds and Wilder nearly pulled it out the bag. I would like Fury to take a few B+ fighters, get himself to 100% and then box the ears off whoever has all the belts which I think would be AJ at that point.

    Don't understand how you've come to this view of Wilder given his record? I know he says all the right things about wanting to unify but his actions as champion don't suggest a guy who is all about facing the best? After he got the title he didn't go looking for the best in the division, far from it. Barring his title win against Stiverne he arguably took 39 fights before he fought someone who could legitimately be classed a top 5 fighter and in his next fight after that he took on someone largely inactive for 3 years. I think there's a gap between what he says he wants and what he actually does. A rather big gap at that...

    Perhaps....yet at the end of the day we didn’t get AJ vs Fury or AJ vs Wilder...we got Fury vs Wilder, and I believe Fury nailed it when he said they were the 2 best and willing to face each other....unlike someone with clucking sounds. TBF I think AJ beats both, but he/team didn’t step up while Fury/wilder did
