Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Wants To Be in Massive Fights, Win a Title, Face Fury or Usyk Trilogy

[juggernaut666]

Fury vs Usyk happens and both should retire afterwards. The winner has 0 boxing related reason to face AJ as it adds nothing to their legacy. Especially Usyk. Why would a trilogy even be an option for someone who lost clearly twice already? Aj’s lane is with the Wilders, Parkers, Ruiz’s , as the “also rans” during this weak era of heavyweights.

So if Fury loses he should retire with only Wilder , Whyte and Chisora as successful title defenses and that won’t be seen as some weak azz lame stuff ?

He’s barely fought as it is for the past few years and the fights he’s had have been jokes. So If he doesn’t beat Usyk, it’s not likely nor is there any point in trying to build himself back up. If he beats him, he retires at the pinnacle. Not too difficult to figure out.

I'm not using triangle theory to guess who " beats " who.
We're talking about the assumption that a World Champion profession boxer is Afraid to fight another one.

Like Floyd being Afraid of Pac.
Or Canelo being Afraid of GGG.

Naive is thinking these guys are Afraid of each other.

It might be true in rare instances.
But Fury being Afraid to fight AJ ?
Nah man.
I don't buy it.

Yeah neither do I and I was the one who brought up the "unless he's afraid"

It wasn't his intention but Pollywog above hinted at how it could happen though.

"Fury aint gonna give AJ a chance to take his O and undisputed, unified over some pissy UK rivalry."

Which is also kinda ironic since Pollywog has been repetitively posting the same stuff on every related thread about how AJ hasn't been taking fights.

As I said before I don't think Fury or most fighters actually are built that way and the fight happens but protecting that 0 is the most likely reason for it not to happen behind one of them losing.

Abroad people would say it doesn't matter he beat the man who beat him twice. But domestically he would be seen as ducking a mega fight. I don't think he would want to live with that if he's confident he would win, which he would be.

It fully was my intention and its not that ive said AJ hasnt been taking fights but that he's been taking low risk fights with rematch clauses rather than legit contenders with winner takes all.

I think rematch clauses have created a fall back excuse for Joshua to underperform. If he knew there wasnt another bite of the cherry if he lost he might go harder.

Having to beat AJ twice in any match is straight up weak.
