Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua in talks for two-fight deal, Jared Anderson and Dillian Whyte 'discussed'

[Cyborg Fangerloo]

What the heck is the appeal of Dillion Whyte at this point in time? Quit giving him fights!!!! We have up and comers that we want to see what they have. Why not Shannon Briggs if we are at it?

Fury/AJ is a domestic fight and way past due. Wilder doesn't deserve AJ anymore. He turned down a record 100 mill. At this point would rather all them get ktfo and retire

Nobody EVER turned down 100 million to fight Anthony Joshua, or anybody else who can't go the distance with Andy Ruiz Jr and Daniel Dubois. Don't believe everything that you read.

AJ should really retire. He has had some pretty big paydays. He has no dog in him whatsoever to push through a tough fight. He needs to get out before he sustains irreparable damage.

Did you watch him against Dubois?

Bravery is not his problem.

Cute take

Fast Eddie; still licking palace windows hoping for anotherTurki handout.

If he had any faith in his guy he'd be stumping up his own dosh to prop up Joshua's failing career.

Dudes always been real good at putting his mouth where other peoples money's at!

WTF is that supposed to mean, Fury has increasingly shown he's a coward, I previously used to defend the guy but it's untenable.

Fury is the heavyweight equivalent to Mayweather, he's picking and choosing fights when he believes it's the optimal time to take them, coming off an arguably bad performance for the opposition and for the most amount of money and least risk.

And yes AJ is a coward as well but two things can be true at once.

When did Mayweather do that?

Not getting into who rejected what AJ rejected 50 in that case. Either way for AJ, Wilder and Fury are still both the biggest fights. Yeah people will say pat their best etc (which they are) but times come where those fights are made and watch the hype build

[BustedKnuckles]

I would imagine that he would jump on the chance but Fury is retired so no point talking about him yet.

At this point he wants big money for ez fights. Anderson should be easier. White is prob bigger money as a uk rematch or whatever. White should be glad for the opp too.

Btw I dont blame him. If I was where he is at this point, I might be thinking the same way. Dish out a couple more L's and ride off into the sunset. Also better for the fans memory to retire with a couple of wins.

[IronDanHamza]

The better question would be when didn't he and the imperative word was "arguably".

Well, you're the one that made the claim, so, I guess I'll ask again, when did Mayweather do that? (Pick fighters "coming off an arguably bad performance")

[champion4ever]

I like those potential matchups for AJ. Make them happen. Also, while they are at it; Throw Deontay into that mix as well. He is a gatekeeper status now too.
