Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Waiting on Verdict From IBF Before Choosing September Foe

[M312]

Incorrect. Parker is WBO interim champ.

I wanna see AJ vs Dubois. It’s the freshest and most interesting matchup. Also the biggest fight too.

Hah, how could I forget that Parker 'loss'

I agree the DDD fight is the one I most like to see, but if the IBF is not on the line, then I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him face Parker.

Interim belt too and his style is less come forward, so suits AJ better.

So..... Is it crazy that I think Joshua ends up losing to DuBois if it goes down that way?

Part of me also kind of hopes Usyk bows out after the Fury rematch. Go out on top Usyk. Even if Fury wins the rematch, what Usyk has accomplished and is still healthy and young enough to enjoy what he has earned is a life win. Why keep risking it? To beat the same names you already have?

What contenders are there though? Joshua, who he's beaten twice. Dubois, who he stopped. Parker, who lost to twice-beaten Joshua. Hrgovic, who was stopped by Dubois, and should have a loss to Zhang. Zhang, who lost to Parker.

Kabayel is the only undefeated guy in title contention right now. And Fury, as much as I dislike him, is still the next highest ranked guy.

My point still remains. Tying up the belts because of a rematch clause BEFORE the first fight is not good for boxing.
Heck being undisputed and owning multiple belts brings with it mandatory obligations whether we like it or not.

Its easy to say "What contenders are there though" and I am pretty sure unless given the chance fighters like Kabayel would not have been on anyone's radar.
A motivated Andy Ruiz is a dangerous fight for anyone in the division. Getting a title shot has never been based on whether you were undefeated.

Belts are not anyone's private property. You win them, you assume the obligation to defend them and not hold them hostage while d1cking around with a rematch!!!

Of course that is 50/50 because Daniel the low blow headbutt King ...
I don't remember that I have seen dirtier fighter in my life.

He should be disqualified in match vs Hrgovic.

Nonsense … headbutt means you’re headbutting yourself. DDD beat Hrgovic bc they not on the same level, AJ is a different story. I don’t know who wins.

Agreed. Strip Usyk. AJ v DDD for the belt.

Fury not winning rematch. I see AJ/DDD winner fighting Usyk and maybe even winning in their rematch against Usyk.

We can agree that we disagree

[CPNUTKnockoutFreshMart]

If I'm Dubois ,I would agree to step aside for 5 million and a guaranteed shot at the winner of Fury / Usyk. Joshua would probably be better off fighting Parker since between Zhang , Dubois, or Parker, he is the least likely to check A.Js' chin.

[CPNUTKnockoutFreshMart]

It's been very quickly forgotten that Zhang was dreadful against Wilder.

Huh ? He stopped Wilder. What more do you want ?
