      Hayes fought no one since coming back and the Ortiz fight will happen once Matchroom have built him up in the Uk, Hearn has already said Ortiz will fight in Monaco then on Joshuas undercard and after that bigger fights.

        haye v joshua would still be a massive event here, and hayes a dangerous fighter. joshua and his team seem to want nothing to do with him, style wise hes a nightmare for AJ. I cant see hearn letting his golden goose fight ortiz any time soon.

          There needs to be a line drawn between "he's fought no one!" and "it's his fault he's fought no one!".

          It's a fair criticism to say, AJ has bust potential simply because he hasn't actually fought anyone decent. But that's not necessarily his fault.

          It's a fair response to the knuckleheads who claim he's top of the mountain.

            The Haye fight is definitely a big event here but he hasnt fought anyone of note in 4 Years when he was awful against Klitschko. Im not one for endlessly building fights up but that fight can be a lot bigger if Haye Beats the winner of Parker and Ruiz which he is the mandatory so I doubt either Haye or Joshua are going to want to fight each other before then. If Hearn has no intentions of putting Joshua in with Oritz then he must be a full blown ****** for signing him and putting him on UK tv, he has also already said that Ortiz and Joshua is a fight he would like to make when Ortiz has a big enough profile why bring attention to a fight if he wants to avoid it.

              Lucas Browne, December 10, should have been an e easy one for Eddie to make, build and cash in a second belt on which can be used in future bargaining...

                Chisora also said no awhile back ...i would have liked to see an undeafeted Miller not Molina . Who ever he fights really dont matter hes going to win so only the trolls and ones who just like other fighters will post b.s ...

                Haye /Wlad are his two most dangerous fights next year .

                  BS, maybe Pulev refused (I don't know) but Wlad simply postponed it for a few months. You have Jennings available, Ortix would love to if he didn't have a fight, Haye, I'm sure Browne would, Parker I'm sure would if he didn't have a fight.

                  Joshua has been continually been given softballs so let's not start with this "everyone ducking" BS.

                    Because hes not American.

                    The ones critiquing AJ are the same ones letting Wilder's resume slide.




                    Despite the fact that AJ has only been professional for 3 years, his resume is absolutely fine for where he is.

                    This is the bias in boxing.
