Wallin DID fight good people, like Fury and Gassiev. IMHO he threw the fight against Joshua.
As for Hrg., yes he needs some top challenges. No more ridiculous mismatches like the other night in Arabia.
Saying Wallin threw the match is funny. People on forums just have to believe they could never be wrong!

If the money was there to fight for i'd choose it over a belt, just like Opetaia did.
It could be a title fight if the winner of Fury/Usyk vacates the IBF title and Joshua is fighting NgannouLast edited by James; 01-09-2024, 01:00 AM.pollywog likes this.

Basically Wallin never fought anyone since Fury who in any way could prepare him for a top-3 HW. Should have at least fought someone like Whyte. That would have been a good barometer.

Funny? There is such a thing as evidence. Wallin didn't even try to throw a single punch with bad intentions. Not one. Wallin didn't even try to move. He just stood right in front of Joshua and let him punch him at will. He looked like a totally inept amateur in his very first fight, except worse. The amateur would have at least tried. As for Gassiev he never lost a fight except a decision loss to the best cruiserweight-heavyweight in the world, Usyk, and then the controversial split decision loss to Wallin. The Fury fight was 4 years ago because Wallin couldn't get any big fights because the big name fighters were avoiding him. They saw what he did to Fury. I agree that Wallin should have fought someone like Whyte before Joshua, but maybe the middle level guys didn't want to fight him.

If they were going to pay anyone to throw a fight it wouldn't be Wallin lol. Joshua just made him look bad. Wallin was no. 10 or 11 but he hasn't really beat anyone good at HW. Gassiev is a small guy coming up. He has beaten zero good opponents at HW. Joshua is much larger and more powerful than Wallin and has a reach advantage. These things matter
