I can't remember him turning down wilder, I've got a vague recollection of something to do with Joshua, wasn't that when his leprosy was playing him up?
It was yeah, when he was still beating better opposition than Joshua at 30%. Wilder they wanted more time, Joshua they wanted more dough.

A tad harsh maybe to put the Wilder and Joshua offers in the same boat as the Parker fight but the pattern is, get offered a great opportunity, turn it down for all manner of reasons.
