Heavyweights...yawn...

Soo, Crawford fans shouldn't have demanded the Spence fight? What about MayPac? Do you even watch boxing?

90% of the world's population don't g a F about this circus division.

Let's be clear Joshua could have fought Wilder here ,...there and almost every where. He gets iced if ever that was to happen , they know that , they are business men !
He should beat Wallin who's only claim to fame is losing twice in the amateurs to Joshua and taking Tyson to a decision with a badly gashed eye .So Joshua will probably fight the man who everyone thought lost to Zhang and get his easier route , again ...but only respect from the few who are blind to this manoeuvre.

Scared shitless of Wilder.

Joshua ; 'give me 50M and I'll sign tomorrow' !

Is Usyk an equal partner? You know, with all his belts?

More than equal. But commercially not at all. Whereas Joshua is. Beating Wallin and then Hrgovic to become IBF champion would go someway to restoring Joshua as having an actual chance and would increase his and the fights commercial value.

That is what I am talking about. But some ******s keep on saying that Wilder is next blah blah...Learn something casuals.

I've learnt that you're buying what Fast Eddie is selling when maybe you shouldn't.

See this article just kind of proves my point. After going back and forth on this board , juggernaut and daggum were convinced that wilder was scared of Aj ( that St. Why they are not fighting each other )when I simply stated , how could the money for a Aj/wilder fight not be there but the money is there it have them on the same card with a host of other name talents. This article is clearly stating Hearn wants hrgrovic next and not wilder so let the controversy end once and for all, it’s Aj team who is hesitant to make wilder /Aj.

That's true. A lot of what ifs, but I see what you're saying. Also, whatever happens with Fury between now and then.

[Marchegiano]

That's not a bad plan for Joshua. He's taken the path the IBF laid out for him before and it worked out for him.

The only way fighting Parker helps Wilder is to juxtapose him to Joshua. If Wilder beats Parker and Joshua beats Wallin, then Wilder takes a feeder for the KO reel while Joshua takes out Fil for the IBF. That leaves Joshua as champion and Wilder as number one contender.

Meanwhile Fury and Usyk are going to fight twice, maybe three times.

Worst case scenario is a couple years go by and we end up with Fury-Wilder IV.


And, everyone writes off the underdogs but it would be kind of cool to have Parker back in the mix, or Wallin vs Hrgovic, that's not a bad fight. Fil becoming a dominant champion, anything is possible.

But I think both Joshua and Wilder would prefer Joshua have a belt before they fight. It will make millions more, y'all can act like it won't, but it does make millions more when there's a belt. Even a pretend belt works. I think they can probably both agree it should be Joshua who gets the belt first because Joshua generates more money regardless of his opponent and while Wilder can generate money he needs a worth while partner to do it. People will pay to see a guy they like against a dangerous man, like Wilder, but they don't want to pay to see a dangerous man fight someone they've never heard of.

So, yeah, of course we all are tired of waiting, they already ****ed it up once, and Wilder or Joshua could lose before they can cash out on the gamble, all that's true but also it's not difficult to understand how this came together.
