Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: No Problem Fighting Luis Ortiz, But Pulev is Next

What chin checks are you referring to? I think him getting up from that monster shot from Vlad had dispelled any doubts over his beard.

Are we going to pretend Dillian Whyte did not have him on tilt? or that David Price and the young prospect Daniel Dubois KO in sparring? and then you mentioned Klitshcko nearly knocking him out so add it up if he can be KO with 18 OZ gloves in sparring well....

Joshua was also rocked by the Italian Roberto Cammarelle ( with headgear) when he robbed him in his backyard in the London 2012 Olympic games ; so basically this image of some kind of Juggernaut that you all have of A.J is a myth and its staggering to me that these fanboys cant see it despite the ample examples in his career.

No they didn't. I have plenty of doubt. An old guy landed on him. Imagine a prime Wilder landing.

Wilder is nowhere on AJ/Hearn's radar.

We know, but at least he won't ever be called a champion by true boxing fans until he fights Wilder.

In a perfect world we'd get:

Joshua-Pulev
Wilder-Ortiz

and the winners fight

But I have a bad feeling we'll get this:

Joshua-Pulev
Joshua-Ortiz

Wilder-Stiverne 2
Wilder-Overmatched opponent, maybe Miller

Wilder needs to do something to make the fight interesting. Povetkin wasn't his fault yes, but he has still done nothing.

O dear I hope so...I'm just not 'interested' in it yet.

Why BS fights ? Joshua will fight 2 Top 5 Heavyweights in a row. Yes Wilder had only BS bouts his entire career.

Pulev is trash, and Stiverne is trash, even though BOTH are top HW contenders! I give props to AJ for beating Wlad, but his resume isn't nothing to cheer about! I'm a fan of Joshua, but let's face it, he beat a 41-yr. old fighter! He's basically a HW version of Jeff Horn! Wilder's resume sucks too, but he wants to fight AJ NOW! Team Joshua are the ones who want to let the fight "build up" until late next year. Team Joshua's plan is Pulev, Ortiz, then Wilder! Wilder doesn't like that plan!

No problem fighting Ortiz as long as Ortiz is never the next fight.
