    Yes I know Wilder lost his belt but I think AJ should fight with Wilder because I think that fight would be more interesting...

    Fury vs Joshua is for all the trinkets and Wilders time is coming to an end, especially due to the lockdown and travel ban. By the time Wilder will be able to fight again, he'll be coming off a heavy loss, an injury requiring surgery and rehab plus he'll be pushing 35/36 yrs of age so won't be at his best.

    On top of that, me being a Brit, I would rather see the biggest fight in UK boxing history being made sooner rather than later.

    That's actually a very good question. I think possibly I would, yes. AJ-Fury is THE fight in HW in terms of importance but to my mind I see Fury winning a reasonably dull affair. Whereas I think AJ-WIlder would have me on the edge of my seat more

    After all the lies and total disrespect Deontay and his fangimps have thrown towards Joshua over the last 3 years I would love to see the Alabama nob head left out in the cold, frozen out and left to rot. Kin goon.

    Fury v AJ would be the biggest fight in British boxing history, I live in Britain and the atmosphere in a stadium would be more magical than in any arena AJ fights Wilder in, plus AJ isn`t a big name in America and Wilder`s stock has gone down since he got destroyed by Fury, also if AJ beat Fury then a fight between him and Wilder would be far bigger and for all the main belts too.

    AJ vs Wilder is to predictable and Wilder is damaged goods at this point that stopping Wilder will only give more excuses on an AJ win they will say he defeated a guy coming off two losses ,someone gets slept in under 3 rounds and I’ll take AJ every time .

    Fury vs AJ is the one to see .

    I would rather see Wilder vs AJ instead of Wilder vs Fury III... In a perfect world Wilder and AJ would battle and the winner would get a shot at Fury.

    No. The Fury-Joshua fight would still be the most interesting. Especially if Fury conquers Wilder for a second and final time.

    Wilder & Joshua not being able to make the fight for over two years killed most of the interest I had in the fight, but now that both have already been conquered I couldn’t care less if Joshua and Wilder ever fight each other. Wilder and Joshua both got greedy and tried to pull a Mayweather-PAC stringing along the fans for 5 years, but it backfired badly.

    I'd like to see both matchups truthfully since Joshua isn't as defensively sound or as mobile as Fury is. The matchup with Wilder would be action packed, no doubt about it.

    But if I could only watch one, it would have to be Joshua-Fury just for the unification of an undisputed champion. That in itself makes it more valuable IMO.

    I'd like to see AJ vs Wilder. I like the idea of everyone fighting it out to earn a chance to face the champ. It doesn't work that way anymore though. So if we have to pick one of the two, I'd rather see AJ vs Fury.

    Wilder had his chance to fight AJ when they were both unbeaten and he didn't want it. The biggest bonehead decision in boxing history, he threw away tens of millions.

    The entire country would stop while Fury v AJ was on. If staged at Wembley it would be a sporting occasion to rival the 1966 World Cup Final. There are no words for how big the fight is.
