Wilder talks Joshua.

[GaMo]

I can talk Joshua too. Wilder needs to fight Joshua.

Wilder has been champion longer than AJ and yet Joshua has fought the better fighter already. Wilder is getting more desperate for the big pay day against the Brit.

How does he make Joshua fight? His only option is to wait because Joshua said the fight needs to build.

I get that Wilder is incredibly flawed and his cv is garbage......but how boxing fandom has taken to favoring the popular guy when he admits he is delaying a fight and blaming the guy that wants the fight is beyond me.

Likewise, I'm amazed that boxing fandom means all a guy has to do is post a video saying he wants a fight and that's all she wrote, his obligation is complete and if the other guy doesn't respond accordingly he's ducking.

What source are you referring to when you say Joshua is delaying this fight?

Joshua said himself, no source, video. I'll be right back with it.

This id just the first I've found, there are many "build it build it build it". It's also easy to find his promoter saying the same "build it" comment except adding another fight.

Master-no, that mandatory is not necessarily. Pulev or Wilder he is in the exact same spot. If he fights Wilder he loses a belt but he wins a belt. Same spot. Difference being he would probably be the mandatory coming back at the IBF.

It's a matter of taking the safer route.

And just for clarity, I really like AJ and hate Wilder. But people need to stop believing nonsense. If they want to fight they can fight. One guy says he wants it(maybe he does, maybe he doesn't) if the other guy wants it we get it.

I can go through fight after fight not being made where the popular fighter just gets a pass. It shouldn't matter who you like. We're boxing fans, we should want boxing.

Since links don't work in edits for some reason, here is it "Joshua says Wilder fight needs to build and explains why"

There are many others, just added another fight into build time. First it was Klit then Pulev. Now it is Pulev then Ortiz. Dropped a fight but still the same amount of time hmmm

[Ron Swanson]

For clarity since I said Wilder can't force a AJ fight and I said he has no option he must wait, I did not mean he should sit idle. I meant wait on that fight. I'd love to see him take a tough fight, I just don't expect it.

My problem is this fight has already been talked about a long time. But it was "let them become champions first" from a business perspective that makes sense. But from a wanting to see the fight perspective, no fight.

Then it was it needs to build.

Then Klit fight, great business move, no fight though.

Then it was Klit rematch and Pulev, then we will.

Now it is Pulev and another fight then we will. We are no closer to the fight. Earlier Eddie was "I want a Wilder fight in 2017" now it is Pulev and another fight. We are 2/3 of the way through 2017 and 2 more fights before a AJ/Wilder fight by their opinion. That means we would be lucky to see it in 2018 at the rate people fight.

And it's delayed under the false pretense that these 2 fights between are necessary. They aren't. They make sense for money, if the safest route to money is the goal. For a promoter, sure, for the fighter and his family, sure. But for fans that want to see a fight, no.

The interviewer was leading AJ about building the fight.

AJ said he has to fight Pulev, now that we know Wlad has retired.

But to answer your question. He doesnt need to make him fight, they'll fight. What he could do... Is take the silly money on offer for bashing up Dillian Whyte, or he could earn less but clear matters up somewhat by bashing up Louis Ortiz. Wilder and Ortiz have both posted videos saying they want to fight.

His only option is to wait? Seriously? You'd think he's have a bit more gumption, self respect, something..

AJ has 2 mandatories and that is the main reason he can not fight Wilder.

Wilder could call him out and throw a few insults his way if he doesn't respond
I'm not blaming Wilder, I'm just saying these two need to fight within the next 12 months
I like both guys and I'm not really rooting for anyone. I just want to see the fight.
