You don’t think Hearn wanted either Wilder or Fury?
Why didn't he make the fights? AFAIK Hearn had a window after Joshua beat Parker in 2018 to negotiate a fight with Wilder, before Povetkin was made a mandatory challenger by the WBA. Joshua could have been fighting a legendary trilogy with Wilder while Fury sat on the sidelines, but I guess greed or arrogance stopped it from happening.
I'm not saying Joshua ducked Wilder because he was afraid to fight him. I'm saying that Hearn miscalculated, and robbed Joshua of the chance of undisputed and a legacy.
