Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Says Next Fight Will Be in December, Describes It as 'Not Ideal'

[Bob]

If you look back at the heavyweights of the 90's, particularly Holyfield and Lewis it is shocking how often and how many times they were in competitive matchups. As society has gotten soft so has it's fighters.

I'm forever saying this. How many of today's top 10 get into a 90s top 10? Usyk, Fury maybe Wilder with his power. Ajs just a Michael Grant, looks the part though at least Grant went in with Lewis.

I thought Aj had signed a 3 fight's per year contract?
Pulled out of December date he talked about even before Fury, fight's a can & goes straight back into his one fight every 9-11 months routine.
Is this Dazn pulling the plug? Were the number's that poor? Did he have a nose job more worried about his looks than boxing? Heart transplant?

The dream: Usyk Fury undesputed at the new Saudi stadium in December & Wilder Aj as the co main, taking a leaf out of the ufc's method. Tv would block it but Imagine those ppv number's. Fek it add Joyce Ruiz, Sanchez Ortiz, Hrgovic Zhang rematch. The Saudis can afford it.

AJ doesn't look like he has that killer instinct no more and wary about being caught. We wanted to see a KO and he didn't get it. That doesn't change the fact that Franklin was a load of sh** and won 3 rounds at best so yes that is what you would call a dominant win for AJ a wide points wins and never in trouble.

It's almost sad what's become of Joshua now. Even more sad is the division as a whole. Guys like Frank Sanchez and Otto Wallin will never get title shots because Fury, Usyk, Wilder and AJ have a monopoly on the top of the division. Usyk is the only one really fighting for legacy at this point.

Wallin and Sanchez get no sympathy from me. They could be fighting fellow contenders. Or just fight somebody half decent. Guys at that level shouldn't be fighting only twice a year.

They just spend their days calling out the big names for title fights without earning a shot.

Lol bigger picture is to get old enough to retire with no more losses?

[P4Pdunny]

Why does he fight so infrequently, at this age and stage of his career he needs to be active especially with the switching of trainers.

He needs to know that he can implement what he and his trainer have been working on behind closed doors, under the bright lights.

How do they earn a title shot when as previously stated the Heavyweight title is monopolised by 4 fighters?

If he really wants to know where he stands in the pecking order, rematch Joseph Parker.

But i remember that panicked look and eyes pleading for the ref to break things up when Parker got inside.

Ain't no way he wants any of Joe's smoke!!!

Joseph "Fraudy's biatch" Parker is too busy sucking Fraudy's ****.

Monopolised? Every belt has been contested for by a mandatory challenger recently.

Neither Sanchez or Wallin are in those conversations. There are plenty of fighters in and around the top half of the rankings that they could fight. Or are they just hoping the WBO candidates pass on their mandatory?

No-one can think these guys should be getting title fights? They've done nothing.
