Arum is smart! But I can see your politicking Bob trying to freeze AJ out and then force him to take smaller percentage of the share when the time comes with ridiculous price.
Arum is planning to take the power out of AJ hands somehow. This has been their plan all along, wait for AJ to lose while they fight the other fighter for the undisputed title (probably rig the fight and score them the winner). Then make AJ a ridiculous offer to frustrate him and then declare themselves as the greatest of all time while fighting bums and then say AJ refuse the fight.....
Really smart BOB....... Well let's see how this whole thing plays out...Last edited by Dare7; 09-28-2021, 02:13 PM.Comment

I wasn't suggesting he's the sort of fighter who could have plotted a new course halfway through a fight. I was suggesting that he needs a new plan right out of the gate and that it wouldn't have to be radically different from what he already does.
Not a lot agree with me, apparently, but Joshua needs to put some training time into his jab and rely on it to defeat a mover like Usyk. I think it's a more doable fix anyway, than to suddenly adopt a come forward aggressive style like Chisora.Comment

Nobody cares about Joshua now.
Fury vs Usyk is the fight to make.Last edited by removed; 09-28-2021, 03:45 PM.Comment

Whose going to pay AJ to step aside and who is agreeing to give him another title shot down the line and what about mandatory's. AJ's next fight is for three of the World Titles and as a challenger, the terms will be very good as agreed in the two fight deal. Why would he give that up when no one knows the final outcome if he stepped aside, He could end up facing Usyk but later on. From what we saw with his boxing, maybe his best chance is to beat Usyk out of Usyk and Fury so why ruin a good deal and a good chance. Arum is trying to avoid a hard mandatory with Whyte for Fury and Whyte will not freeze like AJ and he will certainly try and throw some leather to win. Fury wants real easy stay busy fights or the biggest money fight, not low reward high risk contenders. So AJ has to take the rematch, win and all is well, lose and he is only six months later, then let Wilder, Fury Usyk and any mandatory duke it out while he rebuilds for a third shot at the titles. The chances are the titles will never get undisputed with a chance they may spread out. Stepping aside makes it easy for his opponents and with no guarantee's for AJ.Comment

Back when boxing was a functioning sport, that's exactly what would've happened.
AJ would've fought a "snapback" fight about 4 months later against a lower level contender to get his confidence back or even 2, but now everybody's so afraid to fumble the bag that guys wait around for years waiting for the big money fight when they could be getting better.
