Comments Thread For: Haye: Joshua Should Face Whyte Next, Needs Better Performance To Jump in With Fury

[thack]

It's not like fury likes fighting killers? If fury can fight chisora, whyte, why does Josh all of a sudden need to overcome barriers to get fury?

There's only one bonafide killer out there and Fury has fought and beat him three times! Haye is right , Joshua looked shyte.

"However, Joshua's win over Franklin was not very impressive - and not the kind of performance to create a big buzz for a showdown with Fury"

who writes this crap? wtf is boxingscene staff?

tell you what - Joshua's performance wasn't that impressive - but the writer knows nothing about 'buzz' in the UK.

Joshua - Whyte has little buzz to it - Fury vs Joshua is an instant sell out at Wembley or Cardiff and does big PPV numbers in the UK - every single casual will be all over it in the UK - monster fight here - who cares 'bout merica and rest of world - they can drool over Wilder-Usyk if it ever gets made

If fury don't fight usy k next, Fury won't be fighting anyone as good as Josh is!

Joshua lost 3 of his last 5 fights and looked like crap in his 2 wins, that's not "all of a sudden" at all. AJ barely won vs an old Klitchko that Fury toyed with for 12 rounds 2 years prior. AJ strugged vs Whyte, Fury knocked him out while barely breaking a sweat. That's another reason why. Joshua scared to fight Wilder because him and Hearn know he'll get KO'd, while Fury fought him 3 times, there's another.

The former, 2-time unified HW champion of the world needs another confidence booster? This guy is in the wrong sport.

No he doesn't - the fight to make from a boxing pov and business pov is AJ-Fury before one or both lose - its absolutely ballistic in the UK right now but not if they start to lose against lesser fighters such as Whyte or Wallin.

I lover their first fight and I loved that Fury sc****d himself off the floor - but being objective - no BS - no favouritism involved - any OTHER referee would have counted Fury out or even waved it off without a count. Glad that didn't happen but the Gods were smiling on Fury that night

Is McBride's win over Tyson just the same as Douglas' win over Tyson for you?

When fights happen and what happens is called context - Whyte is past his best for some time when he fought Fury - he was a hungry undefeated fighter when Joshua beat him - context!

the only Joshua fight I want to see is Joshua vs Wilder. Joshua doesn't deserve a fight with Fury, and any other fight, is just Hearn milking the Joshua gravy train. I don't think Hearn will ever let Joshua in the ring with Wilder though.

Rematch Parker to see if either of them are worthy of top tier status anymore.

Whyte has got nothing to offer either Parker or Joshua in a rematch.

Well said !

Who wants to see Joshua against Whyte again? I don't think even the British want to see that. They won't mind seeing Joyce vs Joshua.
