    Joshua is still 5 to 6 fights away from his prime.

    Nobody reaches their prime in 19 fights. It just don't happen. Joshua is still around 5 to 6 fights away from his prime.

    Fight #25 to #35/36 will probably be the best version of Joshua before a decline from fight 35/36 onward.

        Or maybe people want to see the two best heavyweights fight. Not wanting to see it is beyond weird and borderline gay.

          Yep this is exactly correct, and yes that is why those fans want the fight NOW. That is why everybody anti-Joshua wants those big fights now.

          Joshua and Hearn have brought this on themselves to a certain extent though, I knew when he took the Martin fight, the problem wouldn't be beating Martin, it would be the expectations on him after that happened.

          In terms of Wilder - I have been saying the same thing since the beginning of the year, I don't think they should take it until Joshua has had 2 or 3 more fights, and training camps. He needs to iron out some of his defensive flaws.

            So this is the new excuse for the fight not to happen anytime soon

            The #1 rated cash cow HW with 3 maybe 4 of the top belts isn’t in his prime yet

            It’s best to wait 3-4 years to take on his biggest challenge

            AJ protectors will make up any excuse in their mind why a Wilder /AJ shouldnt happen

              Maybe people want to see it when both fighters are at their best. There is nothing weird about that, especially when there are still interesting matches to me made in the interim like last week.

                Joshua has a belt and will probably have another after the Parker fight. He's not a prospect and public sentiment will not be kind if he avoids a unification match because "He's not ready."


                If Wilder is the talentless bum that a lot of people on this forum think he is then there shouldn't be any excuse for Joshua not fighting him.

                  3-4 years, or 2-3 fights? Yeah big difference.

                  Not to mention that the fight is not as big as it should be right now. It will get bigger, this past weekend already proved that, it would have been a big mistake to have it in March like a lot of fans were clamouring for post Stiverne.

                    At their best? LOL They're both undefeated. Maybe people want to see a unification fight between two champions. You don't know whether Joshua will improve or not anyway. That's just speculation. You look like a silly fanboy with this nonsense.
