Comments Thread For: Malik Scott: Washington Would Love To Take Full Advantage of Facing Joshua

[hitmanjosh]

Joshua should take the fight because if he can’t beat this basic ordinary old fighter he should throw in the towel now against Wilder or any top 15 heavyweight. Dammmm Joshua fight or quit!

Just cancel the card. It stinks for the undercard fighters but anyone realistic that Joshua can get at this late notice won’t put on a good show - and that will only alienate the ticket buyers and viewers even more than just canceling the card.

I'd rather see Del Boy get the nod. My guess is that would pull better numbers in the UK as well. Only problem is that makes for a much more dangerous fight for AJ as compared to Washington.

Loool, 4 fighters on the card and he picks up the least dangerous

Chisora would make more sense than Washington. Chisora has insane heart and chin, and Joshua has engine issues, so I actually wouldn’t totally rule out it turning interesting.

Yes. Why not chisora?

Chisora or Washington would be fine. Helenius just won against a tomato can. He should step in on short notice unless he was not in shape for the can smashing last week. A rematch vs Chisora or Washington would be ok by me but doubt RH will do that…

Michael Benson reporting that Helenius is a likely candidate to replace Whyte and face AJ.

If so, I'm picking Big Bob to fall over in the first round again like he did for ol mate Windmill.

Who's the dude that told tyson fury back in the day at a press conference "I'll navy seal yo ass" can't he step in and fight aj he seems game for a fight.

"Malik Scott, trainer for heavyweight contender Gerald Washington, says the boxer is ready and willing to fight Anthony Joshua on Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London."

Heavyweight contender??? Gerald Washington??? Who wrote this thing?? Yeah, I would only put "By Boxing Scene Staff" on that journalistic excellence too, as i would not attach my actual name to it or anything. Washington has managed, somehow, to carve out a nice career as a well paid sparring partner to the "B" level HW and above. He is a scrub, pure and simple. He is the PERFECT last second replacement. It is not like he was lined up for Chisora because he was not an easy out.

Why would Wilder make such a call and why would Eddie accept it when they both would be getting orders of time more than that in Saudi? And Wilder though almost always in shape is not in a training camp. Last few days, most of his videos are him playing golf.

Because why not? You could have the rematch in Saudi..
