I’d rather see Joshua fight Wallin than McKean, but please someone in the top 10 fight Wallin so I don’t have to read the almost daily interviews from Salita.

It's true , if Joshua is serious and not just looking for the easiest route and fleecing the fans then Wallin is the perfect opponent . McKean has beaten absolutely nobody and Joshua will loose a lot of respect if he really does go that route .

Another week, another Otto Wallin post lmao
solid fighter though, can't lie

[SteveM]

Wallin is avoided by everyone so why should Joshua fight him? - he can fight someone else who avoids Wallin which is pretty much the rest of the top 20 at HW - let Wallin fight Hgrovic or Zhang as they are avoided too

How much is Salita paying for these articles LOL

I don't think any of the top fighters are avoiding Wallin. Not to the extreme's you are trying to portray.

Why should they face him?

Has he got a belt? Is his ranking super high?

If a Top Fighter beats Wallin, are they now then in line for a title fight? The answer is probably no.

So these Top fighters don't have to face him.

Wallin is a solid enough fighter, but since Tyson Fury he does not really have any impressive performances. Wallin has some good solid wins, but he has done nothing which warrants this demands that fighters must face him.

It is a narrative that was created and perpetuated by hardcore Tyson Fury fans.

Tyson Fury picked Wallin, when he was domestic level fighter. And Wallin pushed Fury, and busted him up real good.

So for me, this narrative was created around Wallin. To make it look as if all these other Heavyweight are petrified of him 'And that Tyson Fury was the only fighter who can stand up to him'.

And in Anthony Joshua's situation, there is better match making out there that can be made for him.

I want this fight... so much better than McKean. It makes sense because Fury looked awful due to bad luck (the cut) and it's very unlikely that something like that will happen again. Most likely scenario is that AJ knocks him out, which boosts his reputation. This is a winnable fight and AJ should go for it.

Joshua is in the hunt for some balls that much is obvious ...he fights an easy touch , who sounds like the unknown Aussie guy. Pretty dreadful at this stage of his career that much is clear.

To have the opportunity of fighting for the title with career biggest payday and turn it down to this shows where he is at ....!

Aj and Canelo are in the same situation, the wolves are circling, they both must be very careful another loss for either of them would pretty much finish them.
