But let's be real? Anthony Joshua potentially could so easily laser out Wilder within 2 rounds
That the same Anthony Joshua who took 6 rounds to flat-pack Jake Paul?
The Errol Spence who defeated Kell Brook would take Tim Tszyu apart. However, that Errol Spence is long gone. Tim is no Bud Crawford, but he doesn't need to be, Bud already took Errol's soul. This is a hard one to call as we don't know what ES has left in the tank, but my feeling is it's not much. I don't buy Errol's dental excuse for his slurred speech and I don't think he has many fights left before he speaks fluent James Toney unfortunately. This fight has the feeling of a two car wreck-race where both could end up in the scrapyard.
So Prenga lost to a guy with a 2-6-2 record and his 20 KO victims have 196 losses between them but he's gonna prepare AJ to face Fury... Sounds legit..
clever article - you made some lemonade from bitter lemons.
I could be a ticket collector on Fulham Broadway Station - What a Waste!

Franklin was not top 10 by The Ring.
Fair.. I don't think he was ranked top ten by any of the alphabets either. However, there are fighters who are who didn't deserve to be ranked higher than him at ghat point imo.
Ruiz has fought 3 times in the last 6 years. 3 fat or old guys in Miller, Arreola, Ortiz. he is basically retired.
Itauma needs fresher guys. Ruiz would be just another washed up name on his resume, like Whyte.
Itauma doesn`t need Ruiz alike guys, he needs somebody top 10.
Franklin was top ten. Seems like no-one else in that bracket wants anything to do with Moses.
This is the fight to make for Moses right now. A fully prepared & motivated Andy Ruiz is a handful for anyone.
Let's not forget Andy loved training half as much as he loves his grub he'd be a cruiserweight.
His handspeed is up there with Itauma's and he's one tough m o f o. I'll never forget him getting up off the canvas and knocking Joshua around like an empty shell-suit.
It was a real pity he ate himself out of the rematch, came in looking like he'd just won an eating contest with Butterbean and got jabbed to defeat in a ring the size of a car park by a guy who didn't want to be in the same time zone as him.
It's a massive disappointment that the most celebrated HW champion of the moment wants nothing to do with Moses and is instead fighting a kickboxer. I'd love it if Andy stepped up and showed up Usyk, Fury, Aj & co for their unwillingness to take on that challenge.
I'd like to see Fat Andy test Itauma. I feel that his handspeed, toughness & experience would give us the opportunity to get a better picture of where Moses is at.

Of course I read the article and how he screwed himself with drugs and Prison. I'm not keen on people who shoot themselves in the foot many times before they get a damn clue and figure out it's too little, too late. Fk him.
Ok, calm down Dickie. So your just utterly devoid of compassion.. I get it.
Wish Aston the best of luck in making what he can of his career in the time he has left in the sport. However, George Liddard has his eyes focussed on climbing the ladder too & has been building a fanbase & profile to land himself bigger fights. A win against a 35yr old prospect coming back from injuries & addiction issues doesn't move the needle. I don't foresee him taking a fight with Aston anytime soon. If Aston can land a fight with Tyler Denny or Keiron Conway and end them early he would have a legit claim to be a contender for the British title & push on from there, but time isn't on his side here.
Joshua, who lives off dethroning Vlad 2 years after Fury had already dethroned him. Who got chinned by fat Andy. Who's fundamentals go out of the window as soon as he gets buzzed. A glorified underwear salesman, adored by men too inhibited and insecure to admit even to themselves that his attraction for them is based entirely in their subconscious h o m o - e r o t i c a. Do me a favour, even this late stage, shopworn version of the fat Gypsy sparks him every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Watching Fury knock off his ring rust fighting an asthmatic bulldozer wasn't pretty, but it was still way prettier than watching Wilder/Chisora last week. Watching AJ bottle it when called out was sad. Even this version of Fury would toy with him & he knows it.
Walking Penis Dana White thinks he is like Trump and that he can do whatever he wants. Then they TACO.
Dana now wanted the IBF to be part of the fight.
What's the TACO acronym?
Based on recent form, I was definitely leaning towards Derek taking this. However, coming in that lardy isn't a good sign. He's publicly stated that this is gonna be a short fight so his whole strategy appears to be coming in heavy & catching wilder with something early. Derek will likely want to be right up close on wilders chest, a range at which Deontay has proved to be ineffective in the past. If, and it's a big if given his poor footwork, Deontay can stay away and make Derek work for a few rounds, he may tire early and be there for the taking. I'm in the UK so should be rooting for Chisora, but after seeing him shilling for that p r i c k farage, I'd be happy to see wilder goom him.
"Wladimir Klitschko being halted in 11 rounds by Anthony Joshua in 2017 signalled a new dawn."
Now I'm worrying I've got dementia.. I have this false memory that Wlad was dethroned in 2015 by some guy named Tyson Fury & had been inactive for 18 months when AJ goomed him.
Good point, but facing someone who can step forward & reply with something potent would be a good next step. Itauma has fast hands, quiche reflexes and good feet, but Bakole would force him to manage distance a bit more wisely. Avoids developing the habit of lingering in range.
Basically the type of fight to help hardwire good habits & avoid getting caught by a lucky punch down the road. If he passes that test and continues to show boxing IQ, technique, speed, reflexes, smart aggression and power then he's ready for anyone.
"Quiche reflexes" is my favourite typo of the week. Everyone has a flan 'til they get punched in the face.
Time to take a serious look at the wraps and gloves this dude fundora is wearing something smells….
Yes. Having a member of the opposing team & a state athletic commission watch the handwraps being applied, followed by the inspector signing the wraps, then accompanying the fighter until he enters the ring just isn't enough is it?
Congratulations, you win bell-end of the week for objectifying women at the same time as criticising others for the same whilst indulging in casual racism.
These imports invading the uk don't have the morals we do. They especially dont value women. I hope he gets in prison whats coming to him.
Seriously , trying to excuse **** with working with children (grooming) makes me sick.
Get Tommy Ten Names sack out of your mouth you deluded racist.
So Janibek suffered a mini stroke and required urgent medical attention. The treatment he received included administering a drug that contains meldonium. Before taking the prescribed medication he failed to check it didn't contain any banned substances and as a result he receives a ban from the WBO which is twice as long as the one Canelo received for popping twice for Clenbuterol and coming up with his unverifiable tainted meat excuse? Janibek is then also suspended for 6 months by the Kazakhstan commission and is now waiting to see what punishment the IBF will hand out. Additionally, he has to fund his own testing to prove he's clean before he can fight again.
So, in a medical emergency, a fighter is now expected to check the ingredients of any medication prescribed to him/her before taking it? Seems harsh...
