Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Believes He Could Lure Tyson Fury Out of Retirement

[Mr Giggles]

I can’t see this fight happening, if AJ loses to Usyk and most likely he will then what is the point of AJ vs fury, fury can’t get motivated for a guy who has lost twice in a row

[F l i c k e r]

AJ never really wanted to fight anyone good.

It's funny how Wilder and Fury happened so easily and when Fury could've used all the excuses in the world to not rematch Wilder even with the clause. Fury did so anyways.

AJ? Chats about Wilder, never fights him, loses to Ruiz. Chats about Fury after getting his belt back, chooses Usyk and gets clapped. Easy roads that turn into not-so-easy roads, and never actually fighting the difficult matches.

Other than a shot Klitschko of course.

Imagine Michael Moorer circa 1999 thinking Lennox Lewis must fight him to secure his legacy. Joshua is the mouse that roared. The #4 HW of his era with a “legacy” built on beating a 40 year old Fury had soundly outpointed. That’s his defining win. And he keeps losing his belt. If it weren’t for outmoded 1940s Nationalism, he’d be Tim Witherspoon with less boxing ability

I've alway's seen Aj as Michael Grant.

Phrases like this seem to get thrown around about Joshua on here.

He's about to fight for 3 versions of the world championship. Belts that he unified and lost to an outstanding fighter in their last fight.

That's not a 'has been'. That's someone entirely relevant to the heavyweight scene.

Has been is wrong, more like golden child given everything hypejob.
Take out all the shot 38-41 year old men & who's left? 22 ranked Whyte, not allowed to hit back Parker, Ruiz & Usyk & 2 of those beat him. Consistently blocked undesputed & only relevant through paperwork.

Completely agree, he pretty much admitted as much in 18 on a sky TV interview with Johnny Nelson. Aj said" i won't be rushed into the Wilder fight "when asked when he said"19 20 21"Hearn then said 2020. Quack.
They've done nothing but milk casuals fighting shot old men like pulev, pov, takem & Klitschko who 2 year's before couldn't even hit Fury.
Hearn even said before the Usyk fight" this is the first fighter that actually believes he can beat Aj" that say's it all.
Blocked Wilder Ruiz undesputed.
Blocked Fury Usyk undesputed.
Nothing but money obsessed filth & Fury's been out earning him since 19.

I’d say he’s earned everything he’s got coming from the street. Olympic gold medalist, a unified world champion who has attempted to become undisputed and fights all comers. I wish I was a “hype job”. Nothing given to him, everything earned through hard work.

Personally i cant wait for Usyk to beat Aj again.
This will release the belts from Rematchroom's greedy claws alowing the division to move forward again.
It's been 4 year's of ducking & rematchroom contracts stalling the division mostly boxing shot old men.
Ducked Wilder in 18. (yes Wilder ducked back in 19 for Fury) How's that a duck?
Blocked Wilder Ruiz.
Blocked Fury Usyk.

Won't it be great having new name's fighting for belts again.

Fury, earned 100 mill, won all the belts, beat 2 world number 1s in they're own back yards as the underdog, fit & healthy with his whole life in front of him..... But a couple of month's of all those kid's he'll be back in camp again xD

[hhh1200]

LOL, if AJ gets those belts back, Wembly and the Arabs are back on the table. I believe Fury's cut was 2 fights for $200 million? And people wonder why Fury has no motivation to fight Usyk.

[hugh grant]

I'm sure usyk is seconding Josh thoughts. If usyk beats Josh he will call fury out. You called me a middleweight with no chance, prove it. If you don't fight me history will show you ducked middleweight for unified status

[ShoulderRoll]

Usyk is going to beat Joshua again and finally remove him from the top of the heavyweight picture.
