Boxing is looking good

As a guy , Joshua doesn't seem a bad one but I would hate to be a fan expecting a victory against Wilder ....The Hearn's have done an amazing job steering him away from too much trouble if he is to have any more paydays that should continue or maybe it's a all out gamble in big money Saudi but that will end in tears ...Wilder is all wrong for Joshua .Jones and most can see that.

I'm not gonna be ****** enough to disagree with RJJ, & I think he's right in a way, but I don't think AJ is ever going to be ready for Deontay. I just don't think Deontay is good for AJ. The AJ that beat Klitschko probably maybe could'a would'a beat DW but that AJ is long gone. A ghost only to be viewed in the rear mirror. Today's AJ is tentative & stressed &, to use a cliche, gun-shy. He doesn't want to get hurt & that makes it much more likely that he will be. DW is way past his best but he hasn't lost the RH & he probably never will. Anytimes you make that fight I'll put all I can afford on DW.

Same way I see it

I thought he looked good in how he boxed in his last two fights even though he lost. But then, Garca said those comments and AJ couldn't stick with him after that.

Aj is the most coddled boxer ever. Everybody baby's him it's ridiculous. If the guy isn't ready now he'll never be

[trippleupper]

Joshua could definitely benefit from more experience with James.

James Toney, that is...

[richardt]

So a top 3-5 former heavyweight champ has to fight someone else to get ready for another top 3-5 heavyweight??? AJ just needs to retire, this is ridiculous.

I agree. He's not prospect. If he's not ready now then it's not going to happen.
