Comments Thread For: Sugar Ray Leonard Says Joshua Must Be Global, Fight in America

[Freedef]

Strongly Disagree

the Klitschkos didnt need america and neither does joshua

now joshua COULD fight there but i wouldnt advise it against wilder or fights where judges and referee might come into play

I bet my pants no one ever heard of Klitschkos in Africa, Asia and South America.

Do Americans fight globally when they've made it to the top? Did Mayweather?

Fighters are going to fight where they make the most money. That's the UK for Joshua. Fans have an old mindset for when the US was the home of HW boxing, that time has gone. UK is the new home of HW boxing. There's a big HW fight happening in the US in December and they've sold 7k tickets in over a month. HW boxing is dead in the US. US boxing needs Joshua, Joshua doesn't need the US.

It seems the only ones that do not want Joshua to fight in the US are Joshua fans. He is safer there with hand picked refs and judges. Early stoppages of Takam, even the Wlad fight could have went on.

I guarantee if Joshua got Wilder in trouble like Ortiz did it would be stopped immediately if they fought in the UK.

I am logged in to boxrec (and wikipedia) .. are you? and for most well known fighters, their wikipedia page appears in the search results BEFORE their boxrec page. I donate multiple times a year to help support wikipedia so perhaps I am bias towards it, but I do have a boxrec account for a reason (I'm active on the site)

No, I don't have a log in on boxrec. I typically remember most of my information, but on occasion I may want to confirm a timeline or an order in which a fight took place or something of that nature I just go right to boxrec. I prefer boxrec setup over wikipedia when it comes to boxing.

It's a better site if you login, more information is available

I apologise for calling you a noob.
