Nazim Richardson says AJ will never fight Fury or Wilder

AJ doesn't need to make excuses. He earned his belts in the ring. He has defended his titles against top contenders like Whyte and Povetkin and champion Parker. Wilder has only defended his title against one top contender in Ortiz or two if you count Fury who Ring magazine had as the 7th rated heavyweight. In three years Fury has only fought Wilder and two hand picked softies. AJ has defeated far more top guys than either Fury or Wilder in way less pro fights. povetkin has nobodies on his resume whyte has nobodies on his resume parker has nobodies on his resume parker beat who to become champ? ruiz joshua beat who to become champ? martin gtfoh fury> joshua whole resume

if AJ fights neither next year you have a point and i would fully agree, until then... Wilder has fought nobody but Ortiz and Fury (who he thought was a busted flush) why did he never fight Wlad all those years he could have instead of cans? because wlad was the A side. wlad picked his opponents, not the other way around. you dont pick wlad, wlad picks you. so wilder vs klitschko not happening is due to wlad bever picking wilder to fight. since when does little ole, no fan base having wilder call shots on fighting wlad klitscko? its like you dudes dont know how boxing works.

Well a famous Englishman by the name of Adam Smith once said: "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." So while I do not know what flavor ice cream Hearn likes, or if Anthony Joshua likes puppy dogs and candy canes... we have a situation here where there is natural pressure on AJ to respond to developments. Richard's estimation aside, it doesn't matter, any more than Hearn's ability to sell out sections of an arena should matter. What should matter is: as of today there are three guys who are at the top of the heap... And there is an invisible hand in the marketplace that has pushed them into each other and is demanding that they handle their business,. and this pressure should make it so we see the fights that matter in the division. If we do not its a crime, as much as it is a crime when judges are allowed to render decisions that are obvious for moneyed interests.

I guess we should expect the ldbc to call nazim richardson a coon as they did with Andre Ward?

I think Fury has thrown a complete spanner in the HW division at the highest level. Interesting to hear Wilder say " Let them go and do there thing " in regards to Hearn and AJ. Wilder seems to have some genuine spite and a real sense of reprisal with this realising he and Fury could freeze AJ out at the very earliest point late 2019 and beyond. The worm appears to have turned and the limelight and focus are somewhat of AJ. I think Wilder will want to play the long game, more so than Fury. The old adage " What goes around, comes around " springs to mind.

Really, he was supposed to fight them with less than 20 fights? He has half as many fights as Wilder and he's earning way more than Wilder could ever dream of making. Does he feel the same way about Tank fighting Loma? Or Berchelt?

the only excuses come from AJ. wilder and fury dont make excuses. they just fightAJ doesn't need to make excuses. He earned his belts in the ring.

Sorry. I meant to say AJ makes big money fighting any top contender but I left out the word contender by mistake.

AJ has already made offers to fight Wilder in England for I think it was 20 million bucks to fight him in England. Wilder turned the offer down because he thought 20 million was not enough apparently. This is two boxers and their teams not agreeing on terms and not AJ refusing to fight Wilder. AJ will fight either of them but he is the A side and Wilder can take or leave his best offers. Now Wilder says he won't even talk about fighting AJ until after he rematches Fury. I think AJ would fight either Fury or Wilder if he likes the terms. He is never going to fight Wilder in America and he is never going to give Wilder a 50/50 split even in England. Why should he? He has most of the belts and makes big money fighting any top so he doesn't really need to fight Fury or Wilder on their terms.

... Nazim says "if Joshua was gonna fight these dudes, he would have fought these dudes"... ... well... the "if clause" is what it is... but no more...

https://youtu.be/OnSHSSeJ8ug?t=451 At 7:20 Nazim says "if Joshua was gonna fight these dudes, he would have fought these dudes". Probably true. Wilder and Fury know... The 3 fights are set. Bro nazim starting to sound as a bitter has been lately.

He's scared af

the guy has been a pro for just 5 years has just over 20 fights and already holds 75 percent of the belts and several defences. Wilder has been a pro for over a decade and has over 40 fights, only two of which were against a live contender. Fury has only been a viable opponent for a few months since his lay off so it's hard to make a case for a duck there. lets hope they all fight each other from here because that is how it should be, it's what the fans want. No more excuses from any of the three. the only excuses come from AJ. wilder and fury dont make excuses. they just fight
