Joshua is actually unofficial king of division

[pollywog]

I just think it's pretty brilliant work positioning Joshua so everyone wants him without him having to face anyone more dangerous than a Fat Fury leftover, or hold a title.

Dark Lord Joshua

He sure dont want any of Parker' smoke or his sloppy seconds in Ruiz, Zhang or Wilder.

Cos that's how unofficial King's roll...impressive!!!

I like AJ, I think he’s a good fighter and he fights everyone and has wanted to fight everyone at multiple points of his career. But he hasn’t fought everyone yet.

Hasn’t fought Fury - Not his fault Fury had to fight Wilder.

Never fought Wilder in his prime - Again not his fault negotiations fell through.

Lost to Usyk twice.

Lost to Ruiz, but avenged his loss which is actually a good accomplishment. Many boxers who get KO’ed like that, don’t want a rematch.

Beat Povetkin

Beat Kubrat Pulev

Took Joseph Parker’s 0

Took Dillian Whyte’s 0

Took Charles Martin’s 0

First to stop Wlad Klitschko in 15 years

He’s had a great career and he has a bunch of solid wins. But he is missing that big one, that exclamation point to make him truly great. If Fury gets past Usyk, and AJ can beat Fury, that would be that big one he’s missing.

Why would Fury give him the opportunity?

Fury would have every reason to retire undefeated with intergenerational wealth, his O intact and the ability to troll Joshua forever.

Listen, I love what Joshua did to Ngannou, but in boxing, he's got to work his way back up. Usyk already spanked him twice. I think Fury would too. Hell, I think Wilder lands a weird bomb that takes him out.

Parker would smoke him too.

Everybody is talking about him nowadays.

Turki wants Fury - Usyk winner to fight Joshua.

Dubois and Hrgovic believe the winner gets Joshua.

Zhang and Wilder both want Joshua.

All roads lead to Joshua.

Because Usyk and Fury are tied with a rematch, they are unavailable in 2024, no matter who wants to fight them. So the next big name, mostly in terms of cash is Joshua which in no way means he is any king. It is one thing to be commercial but another to be "the king". Jake Paul is commercial.

Hrgovic-Dubois winner wants Joshua as much as Joshua wants the winner, so he can officially be the IBF belt holder (as he usually is a scrapped belts collector) where AJ hopes he will beat either man as the winner (and then will get the title). Zhang and Wilder mostly want the man for money but what did 'the king" wanted: Franklin, Helenius and Ngannou (same shame as Fury fighting him). It looks like AJ runs ****less from everyone in the top 10-15. So again: he is more of a commercial fighter now.

The same guys that deny Joshua is the face of boxing...at the same time admit that AJ- Fury is huge for casuals. Even if Usyk beats Fury. Dorks.

Me,, personaly...I fon' t care about AJ-Fury much. But that doesn't change the facts.
