and so it begins

joshua's career is goign to turn into a sideshow, he'll get complacent, and in 2-3 years he will lose. just looking at the totalityof hearn's rhetoric it's easy to see now that he's determined that he can keep joshua as basically a football star, who UK casuals will watch no matter who he fights, becuase htye don't know enough abotu the division or what constitutes a mismatch or a duck.

quack f3cking quack . ducking a cruiserweight now? a fight with a dude at his peak, just knocked out the biggest name to add to his stature in the UK other than fury or joshua, and on the pound for pound list needs to build? capitalize on teh f#cking momentum, don't wait for it to die off eddie!

yeah f#cking right

You seem to have missed what Eddie said about Usyk not being ready to fight AJ yet.

And no, Hearn isn't lying about that, because Usyk's promoter said the same thing himself.

Finkel, Warren, Hayman are spiking the Joshua fight. One day they'll let their baby heavyweight fight.

They ready but hearn, Aj & you aint….LMMFAO!

[j.razor]

It will be the fight of the decade. 2 London Olympic Gold medalists, 2 undefeated Unified World Champs in their primes. This fight will be bigger than Klitschko vs. Haye.

GTFOH! YOU DON'T even believe that.

[j.razor]

Stop hyperventilating.
You do know that Hearn sent another offer to Wilder's team, with everything (% split and 2-way rematch) they claimed as reasons for not accepting the 1st offer though at the same breath they claimed they accepted the 1st offer. So which was it?

FOH! Aj ask for & then ran from 50million no matter how much you lie.

[j.razor]

Mr. ask for 50 million then run from 50 million will put usyk to sleep.

I have to respectfully disagree with you. I don't think Joshua is in the least bit worried, concerned, nervous or afraid of challenging Usyk because he knows that he can take him because he is both unproven and untested at the higher weight division.

With Wilder it's just a total a different situation. However, with Oleksandr Usyk, it is actually, he who is having second thoughts and insecurities of challenging a naturally larger and stronger man in Anthony Joshua.

I will say this though, if gaining more weight for the heavies, makes Usyk slower to the point of him losing both his legs and speed. Then he is going to be in a lot of trouble against the bigger punches in the division like Anthony Joshua.

by doing what? keeping joshua away from deontay wilder?

trying to take credit for goldenboy promotions doing a deal directly with dazn?


oh yeah, war eddie, he's saving boxing for sure. definitely isn't the main reason joshua and wilder didn't fight this year.

Correct. The reason AJ and Wilder didn't fight this year is that neither of them really wanted it.

And now I'm hoping they never fight each other. Fury vs AJ with the winner fighting Usyk is a much better scenario.

November 9, 2018:

Aleksandr Usyk defends his Ring cruiserweight championship against Tony Bellew on Saturday, but Ward doesn’t seem too interested in fighting the winner. For one, Ward pointed out that Bellew has maintained he’s retiring afterward no matter the outcome. As for the current champ, Ward said “Usyk seems to be a good fighter, I haven’t seen a lot of him, but I’m not really tripping on a guy like that. I wish him nothing but the best.”

In other words: Usyk doesn’t possess the kind of name recognition that would entice Ward out of retirement. The man who does is heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.Ward has long dreamed of one day fighting for a heavyweight title, just like his idol Roy Jones Jr. During the news conference following his win over Kovalev, Ward’s trainer, Virgil Hunter, broached the idea of a fight between his charge and Joshua...

If he’s going to end his retirement, Ward made it clear it must be a legacy-defining fight, and what better way to go out then with a challenge of Joshua, a man who stands 6-foot-6 and 240-plus pounds?

“When Virg brought that up post-Kovalev, that was serious,” Ward noted. “I know it seems crazy, it is a major risk but that’s what this thing is all about. Magnitude of the fight? That would be crazy because no one would think I would win, and all the critics and everybody who’s been waiting on me to lose, they for sure would have a front-row seat, they’re going to promote the fight.

“They’re going to write about it, they’re not going to stop writing about it because they want people to see that fight, because they’ll be like ‘that’s going to be the one where I’m going to get got.’ It would be huge. It would be huge.

“But again, man, I wish (Joshua) nothing but the best. He’s doing great things. It was possible, but I’m not active, I’m retired, so it’s not something I really think about.”

For someone not thinking at all about fighting, Ward seemed pretty excited at the mere thought of a mega fight with Joshua. For now, it’s purely fantasy, but it takes just one call from Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn to put the wheels in motion with an offer Ward can’t refuse.

I agree. It's much too soon and way to premature for Usyk to be thinking about challenging Joshua at this point. He will be giving up too much weight, size and power between the two if they were to fight now.
