If Chisora beats Helenius, then we need a Chisora/Whyte rematch. That was one of the best HW fights in recent memory. If he were to pull that out too, then I'd be ok with him getting a shot at Wilder. Might even give him some trouble
Chisora/Whyte, are both B grade fighters. Entertaining, but hardly "best fight" material.
I guess do ya like apples is in order here
Aj has earned some respect after finally fighting a proper boxer. Good on him. He can now be considered a contender and not a pretender. But still obviously needs to fight the other top heavyweights before calling himself the world champ.
Scraping a close win against a 41 year old veteran, coming off a loss doesn't really mean much.
Klitschko is dialed in. If AJ can't put him out in 3 or 4, Klitschko will jab and grab him all night and wear Joshua down until he eats one of those thudding rights and goes down for good. A leopard doesn't change his spots. Klitschko will fight as he always does. If he is the aggressor as he says he'll be, then I would be very surprised. Nonetheless, I give AJ credit for taking this fight so early on. Hope the division follows suit down the road and starts making the big fights as they come instead of avoiding each other. 2 guys that accepted the all of the big fights brought their way--Klitschko and Joshua. I don't know why, but I'm taking Wlad in this one.
Accepted big fights???? Aj has been the most protected fighter of all time. He didn't even fight a decent opponent for his belt.
Why is it possible to lose a belt, because he cant make two defenses at the same time? boxing is so ridiculous.
Unified champion should have unified mandatories. Let the #1 contender of each organisation fight each other.
Because he was cherry picking bums like molina when he should of been fighting pulev.
That's just funny!!! Limited skill set and IQ. You must be thinking of a Shannon Briggs or something. LOL. Wlad was a Olympic medalist, heavyweight champion for 10+ years fought everybody in that period. Has a great skill set as he was one of the best heavyweight boxers and is a HOF. He fought plenty of moblie guys in his career.
He just didn't fight Fury for whatever reason. Had nothing to do with Fury's skill set as Fury is ****. Wlad just didn't fight. Even if Fury had Wlad confused it doesn't explain not letting his jab go at all. That is his only fight in his career where he didn't throw punches. He basically chased Fury around when he was open for jabs. Something was off.
And to say Wlad has no IQ makes you sound like your IQ is very low. Lol.
I think getting old played a big part in his decline.
No, he signed him up in the hope of building the fight with AJ. But Ortiz ended up looking like crap. So Eddie let him go.
You are without doubt the most deluded "gay for AJ" fan boy on this forum.
Almost all of AJ opponents look like crap. It's a prerequisite to getting a fight with him. Not a reason to let someone go.
The whole UK heavyweight scene it's full of boxers that look like crap. Bellew, whyte, dubious, joyce
Fury tested positive for nandrolone putting forward the excuse of "tainted wild boar meat" and agreeing to backdated 2-year ban. This was negotiated after his uncle, the convicted drug dealer, threatened to bankrupt UKAD with legal fees.
Ukad are pathetic. Proven incompetent and ineffective.
Theres a good reason AJ loves them and doesn't want to leave the UK.
That's the referee not the location. It wasn't a UK ref. Parkers team chose that ref. In America Wilder gets an extra 30 seconds after a round to recover.
It's Eddie hearn making the refs behave like this.
It deserved booing with that ****ing ridiculous 10 minute new Zealand bull**** anthem.
Ajs ring walk was the lamest thing ever seen. What a waste of time. Lookes like a musical.
Great news lets settle this fight once and for all.....joshua will knock wilder spark out wait and see
He couldnt even touch a much smaller parker, hes going find it much harder against someone bigger and more powerful than him, with a sledge hammer right hand.
Reality people please..... he moved around a very stiff offbeat Klitschko for the straps and threw Harley any shots and yall rate the **** in the stratosphere!
Haye would ko him then and now (and we all agreed then)
Ortiz,wilder,price maybe but definitely got no chance at all against only Joshua now.
As soon as you mentioned Price it instantly identified you as a fanboy with very lilttle boxing knowledge.
i am 46 years old and been around since 71. I have family involved in this sport and have maintained an interest since I was a kid. “Fanboy” as you say seems to be just another word like “mojo” or “A side and B side” that gets used by wannabe “boxing ardnuts” or know it alls, is this you? You know nothing.
I used price as an example to who is at the pikey fat boys level in terms of opposition faced.
The fat pikey (like I said) has faced an offbeat world champ, it happens you dull kunt!
Braddock,Spinks etc...calm down you thick kunt.
Read the post again (excluding the predictive text used) and nod your head. Remember, you fackin joey! Only as good as opposition faced and as I said (which is also world wide known) the big Klitschko was waaaaay offbeat. Deal with it you dumb kok jockey.
So price is at the same level as fury?
Wow....
I think so yes. Remember he only ponced around Klitschko for 12 rnds barely throwing, neither man made it a fight.
That was not “taking the titles” nor was it a defence, the big Klitschko (as I already said) was having a bad night, it happens.
Fury is fackin sh1t and price (being on a similar level) maybe (as I said) could beat him.
It would be Hard to honestly say fury would win a return let alone win any title given his lifestyle,lay off,mental issues,drugs etc etc
Who at world level has fury actually gone in there and beaten, I mean beaten? And what credibility does that person have to be judged by us to be classes as such?
Wow. That is the stupidest comment of the year. Possibly the decade.
Fury will go down as the GOAT. Mark my words.
Except for when he's lying on the canvas. And fighting no names.
The most deluded fighter since Charles Martin.
Fury will knock out wilder. Fury at 100% is a bad bad man.
Zero power, pitter patter, slappy punches fury isnt knocking any decent heavy weight out. Never has. Never will.
He was 100% fit in the last fight, he went 12 rounds easily.
and had several warm up fights. Stop making excuses for him.
AJ will be back he just needs a few tune up fights vs guys with similar physical attributes to Ruiz. AJ had never fought a guy with such stubby arms and with that high of a body mass index. It was a new look for him and that inexperience with that kind of opponent cost him.
Lol... yes, fights against obese people will prepare him to be world champ again.
Wouldn't that mean if you have more money you can then get the better PED's?
That's how it works at the moment.
The best resourced guys get the best gear, and never get caught. E.g. lance Armstrong, AJ etc...
Who tf started out this cashing out nonsense?
Cashing out implies he's done or intends to leave boxing.
Why would he?
He's still young and how many fighters that young retired after only 1 or 2 loses?
I think they mean, this will be AJ's last big money making fight for world titles.
He will get exposed and embarrassed by the short fat under-powered Mexican, again. Then will no longer be big money fighter.
Nah my bad. But there are threads talking about how AJ doesn't get drug tested and people are saying he will get exposed as a ped taker when he fights Wilder and gets tested by VADA.. So I proved he's already tested by VADA.
But the argument changed from "he isn't getting drug tested" to "he isn't getting tested all year round by CBP".. So I proved he is tested all year round by VADA.
It's public info that anyone can find.. But some ignorant Wilder fanboys choose to not do some research and accuse every other fighter.
The VADA link says he has "completed" his testing. So he clearly isn't being tested year round permanently.

Why would a top ranked boxer like AJ want to fight a severely overweight, unfit, drug addict with mental health issues?
Because they are cowards looking to cherry pick the easy fights, and want to avoid the Wilder fight.
Hearn loves a fight with a big name, who is not at his peak. Which is why they chased so hard for a fight with Wlad.
I think Parker is better than Dominc Breazele and Dillian Whyte, how many rounds did they go? but you give him six? ok.
Good point. And brezeale and whyte are terrible , there greatest achievement is a getting battered by robot AJ.
The only reason they are in top 10 is to make AJs terrible record look better.
If joshua hits a ufc fighter with 4oz gloves in the face. He will kill them. I would honestly be worried about someone's face being broken.
Aj can't even cleanly knock out the plumbers and retired bouncers he's been fighting.
Get off the hype train
Haye thinks he can fight the likes of de mori and other baristas and mechanics then call aj out for a fight and accuse him of ducking when he doesn't take it.
You want an aj fight you need to earn it. Ortiz or Parker would be your best shot at jumping the queue. AJ doesn't need him to make money and after the bellew fight I think he's seriously overestimating the public demand for this match up
None of AJs opponents earned there place. He always fighting the weakest.
Hes always fighting the weakest but out of all the heavyweight champions he's beat the most top ten ranked fighters. :)
Whyte and brezeale are D grade journeyman. Only a moron would consider them top 10. There greatest achievement is a horrible loss to AJ. The only reason they got pushed up the ranking is to make AJs pathetic record look better.
