Comments Thread For: Otto Wallin Ready and Willing To Face Anthony Joshua in April, Says Salita

[Boxing 112]

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.

I don't think it's the same. Canelos resume is way better and has been fighting a lot of champs. And different division. He went up and lost to Bivol. AJ lost twice to someone coming up. A difference. Plus that makes 3 losses in 5 fights.

Canelo can take another loss if that loss is against Bivol again or Beterbiev as they are the bigger fighters and regular 175 fighters. If Canelo loses at 168 then might be a different story

It's honestly a fight that doesn't make much sense, Wallin is a southpaw unless Joshua plans on fighting Fury later this year (which I highly doubt) then there would be no reason for him to jump in there against a southpaw it's not like he's looking for fight Usyk, Ortiz or Anderson anytime soon.

He doesn't need to fight that guy I've never heard of though that would be a terrible look how do you go from fighting back to back fights against a top p4p champion to fighting that guy.

A good fight for Joshua this year would be Franklin, Whyte or Wilder. Hell I wouldn't mind him fighting Lucas Browne for a confidence builder, at least he's more credible even old and fat.

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.

It would be a huge win for AJ. And the AJ from Usyk 2 should handle Wallin pretty easily. There's no way they take a fight that dangerous tho. AJ struggles against southpaw, and Wallin is a tough customer. If he were to lose to Wallin, he'd lose all credibility and drawing power.

I'd favor AJ here about 70/30. But even that is too great of a risk for AJ at this point. He clearly needs a soft touch.

[QUOTE=thack;n31705547]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 .[/QUOTE There trying to rebuild Joshua with a easy fight. His fans will buy still buy it. He be lucky to get buy wallin at this point. He not fighting Wallin anytime soon so this a take pretend article like many others. Wallin difficult fighter. He going to have a hard time getting fight with his promotion. He's been looking for a big fight for years now. Joshua on his way out

McKean under Tony Simms I think is a bigger risk with a much bigger puncher . If and or when a Wallin fight is announced I expect the forum to turn around and say he avoided Demsey all of a sudden and how much better that fight would’ve been .

Lol that's some funny ****e delusional AF what you smoking

You said Joshua isn’t fighting Wallin anytime soon when that’s the guy ahead of McKean he’d choose and you calling anyone delusional is the funny part . The forum is filled with posters like you it’s why I have to post in certain time frames it’s like you guys never been outside before ? Lol

While I think Wallin is a good boxer he needs to find the highest ranked opponent he can find and fight him.

He needs to stay active and grind for a mandatory spot if nobody in the top ten is willing to fight him. Sitting around and chasing AJ doesn't help him considering Hearn already said no.

I would say he should call out Whyte for ducking him as that's a more possible fight than AJ but then again Hearn might feed Whyte to AJ as a easy tune up so AJ can be closer to a title shot and Whyte can cash out and retire.

Wallin isn't getting the AJ fight, he's too dangerous.
