Why is Anthony Joshua catching flack when top contenders have refused to fight him

Wlad has admitted publicly to not being ready to fight AJ
Pulev is on video refusing to consider fighting AJ


Who do yall want this guy to fight?

That Wlad fight was never going to happen, that was Hearn trying to make Joshua look like he wanted a big fight. They put out a list of opponents and chose the weakest one.

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.

Good points, pretty much nailed it.

There's no reason for AJ to be fighting a bums like Molina, when you have someone like Ortiz who is DESPERATE for a fight. Miller, Jennings, Browne - all better options.

Hell, Parker was telling AJ and Hearn to bring it on, let's do it, I'm the mando so let's fight now - instead, Hearn decided to pursue Klitchko, old and coming off a L, and we all know how that pursuit turned out.

There are fights for AJ to take that would be a step up - he's just not taking them.

Unfortunately, Uncle Eddie is more concerned about lining up the stars in the sky and setting up future paydays, than actually giving his guy a half-decent fight NOW.

He is my favorite heavyweight. I am critical of my countryman Wilder for fighting unworthy challengers so I should be just as critical of Joshua for fighting Wilder type opponents. I am sure there are better heavyweights than Price, Jennings and the other guy who's name I forget who would be willing to fight Joshua in England considering the money they could make. I think Ortiz or Parker would fight him. He is undefeated but he needs to fight other undefeated heavyweights and some of them will fight him.

Someone with a pulse would be nice

His opposition level has been poor with even Parker's being a step above
