This entire thread is just if's, buts and maybes.
Yes AJ or Hearn didn't want the Wilder fight when it was offered, for whatever reason, timing, conditions....
What we can be sure of is that it can't have been about the Money which was massive.
AJ has fought the better opposition compared to Wilder and Fury - no doubt about it.
I see ways that every one of them beats the other 2.
None of us know who will come out as the top fighter of the three until they get in the ring and fight.
Smart money would be on AJ as far as I'm concerned.
