AJ is a ducker?!? When that happen?
The only ducking I see is when he’s climbing into the ring.
Hey look, some will just never want to give people their dues. Always look at them with the side eye.
But AJ has already proven himself.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
AJ clearly isn't ducking anybody. Eddie wants the bigger split and Wilders team want an even split. Simple disagreement in negotiations.

If you want to see ducking, then look no further than Amir Khan openly stating he does not want Kell Brook next.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t know whether he’s ducking Wilder but one thing Hearn wants more than anything is a UK fight. That’s another issue for the Wilder team so it’s more complicated than a simple split of the purse. AJ and Hearns paymasters are Sky, who for obvious reasons want the UK venue

AJ will almost certainly face Whyte in what should be another victory for him in April and I don’t think the fans will see the fight they really want to see

The Guv has spoken.. Preach it bruh!
Khan is a a mutha-ducker for sure...

May not have a choice.

Looks like Mayweather & Pac are going to have an OAP off, the Kahn v Brook fight is a money maker.

Look, screw Khan... we got a potential slobber knocker with St George and Smith next.
Come on Groves. Seal the deal. So so glad they didnt replace with an undeserving Eubanks.
Right call to wait .

Not the best performance from Joshua, he still has a lot to learn about boxing. He has got through most of his career thanks to his size, power and seemingly his chin, but you can see improvement in every one of his fights.

Not sure if wilder or fury next is too quick for him. Maybe he should fight the loser first. I think he will struggle to land a shot on Fury if he is anywhere near what he was, and nobody wants Wilder to land a bomb.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Joshua is 29 in a few weeks if he ain't learned by now he will never learn.

The wilder v Joshua fight isn’t going to happen in Vegas. Would make little sense for Hearn and Sky which is why they have resisted it. They can’t control anything if it’s in Vegas and Sky stand to lose out big time, it just isn’t going to happen.

I reckon it will be another KO against Whyte in April and then Wilder in about 18 months time over at Wembley. By which time he’ll be properly on the decline.

Should Fury beat wilder, then it gets a lot more interesting because that’s a fight that both camps can and will make happen fairly quickly

He has already ducked Wilder, if the doesn't fight him next, then he is beyond redemption as Wilder is on the decline now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How on earth is Wilder on the decline? He is 32 and has taken minimal damage in his career. He still has a solid 2-3 years left at his best and he clearly isn't a ricky hatton/Fury type of fighter where he lets himself go inbetween fights.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Old father time.
After 30 your T levels and your speed and athleticism start to drop off.

Wilder ain't a great boxer, what makes him dangerous is his speed and athleticism that allows him to generate the power and lands his shots.

Like it or not, he is on the decline, and that is what Joshua and Hearn are waiting for.

Everyday that goes by shifts more in Joshua's favor, that is why they are ducking Wilder.

As a fan - why would you want UKs biggest boxing star and champion bend over to Wilders demand? They have every right to not fight in Vegas.

Well he hasn't fought any of his main rivals of this generation

He is 29 in a few weeks time and has not done that.

He has fought 4 out of the remaining 9 of the top 10 and Klitachko. Wilder has fought only Ortiz. Why is Wilder ducking these guys? Damn ducker.

It was an OAP fight last time round, Mayweather ducked for 6 years till Pacquiao got old.

Wilder has fought many guys guys ranked in the top 10, but have since drifted out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, but Pacquiao's physical abilities that makes him a special fighter, the speed, the footwork, the stamina and the power.

They all decline, Mayweather relies more on his boxing style which is less affected by age.

Similar to Roy Jones and Hopkins

How could you even definitively prove that Wilder is on the decline when he's only ever fought one person of any note?

posted on 23/9/18

also, Boxing rankings are a farce anyway... if you all about the rankings D4, care to tell us how Fury becomes 3rd ranked for WBC?
if i'm right, an organisation he has never fought for...

Age, it affects us all, and will have a big impact on fighters heavily reliant on his physical abilities

Eventually everyone slows down, yes, but you're saying Wilder is already on the decline - how do you plan to actually prove this, instead of just saying he's over 30?

Yeah, the rankings are a farce. Boxrec have objective rankings, Ring magazine is meant to be independent.

The belt organizations just play boxing politics, don't take them too seriously.

Who are these many guys please do share? Are they on your imaginary world's ranking too? Stiverne was top 10 perhaps for a moment and thats probably it.
