Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Ready To Replace Tyson Fury, Fight Klitschko!

Hearn has zero intention of putting AJ in with Wlad.

This is just standard bluff.

u must not no hearn he s the best promoter out there imo, he doesnt protect his fighters from getting in the ring he l offer the fight and they l take it no excuses, kell brook prime example hes always looking to get in with best he can find im a big fan of his its stupid nowadays like oscar wont take a risk with his canelo with any top 5 fighter in any division but also claims hes the best out there

Joshua is Hearn's cash cow. Brook wasn't, Hearn was barely making anything on Brook fights which is why he was willing to put him in with Golovkin to make some money and get him some exposure.

OMG 2016 will rise from the ashes. Ward/Kovalev then Joshua/Klitschko then Golovkin/Jacobs.

Do not be over-optimistic...
We should be happy even if one of these gets made... the one which is signed...

Idk man. Wlad didnt look as sharp against Fury even though it was ugly since both are mammoths. Joshua looks like the most complete heavyweigjt in some time. I think he could knock him out and make the fight even bigger.

Joshua struggles in the pocket. He has to set up from range in order to use his power. We saw that against Breazeale.

Grabomir fights the same way, but he won't hesitate to clinch as we well know.

That fight is a dull borefest of two guys staring at each other across half the fight trying to get a range punch off, then a bunch of clinching on the inside until Joshua wears down, then Grabomir wins by boring decision.

I don't see what this gains Wlad? He was once lineal champ and with Fury out for the foreseeable future, they should have been working towards a new lineage, and Wilder is certainly ranked higher than AJ.

Then again Wlad v AJ is the bigger money fight.

Wilder is not ranked higher than AJ because Wilder isn't marketed. Joshua is to the UK what Ivan Drago was to Russia.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

This would be great if it happened but the risk is too high for both. Joshua can either fight an inferior mandatory or hold out on him until early next year, and Wlad can likely regain at least one belt by taking on someone less risky.

Is Haye in the relevant rankings? Wlad vs Haye II for a title could be interesting. Haye cashed out last time but this time he'd know that Wlad has declined and winning it sets up a fight with Joshua or Fury for absolutely crazy money.

Failing that, LET'S GO CHAMP...

wtf you sayin?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Honestly,, might be the best time for joshua to fight Wlad.

WLad may be retired by the time joshua is ready, and if joshua loses now, people will just say he was green and give him props for stepping up to the plate

[Combat Talk Radio]

wtf you sayin?

Just speaking truth. Go back and watch Wlad/Povetkin. That's exactly how Grabomir/Joshua would go.
