Comments Thread For: Joshua Wants An 'Easy Fight' Next If He Wins Ruiz Rematch

[factsarenice]

60 year old Ortiz and Wallin are busy.

When asked during an interview session with a group of reporters if he’d give Ruiz a rematch, Joshua replied, “No. I’m gonna fight some guy from the pub. That’s what the heavyweight division does, isn’t it? I said, ‘Why am I fighting all these solid contenders? I’m going to fight an easy fight after that.’ ”

“That’s why when you ask me who I’m fighting next, I’m telling you, I’ll fight who I want,” Joshua said. “Don’t tell me about no Wilder or Fury. Take it how you want, but that’s what I see the heavyweight division’s about.”

The bold are direct quotes. How does that differ from the article headline?

Oh look, yet another headline saying the exact opposite of what is presented in the article.

LOL!

60 year old Ortiz and Wallin are busy.

What about 40 year old Takam, 40 year old Povetkin or 42 year old Wlad then? They all too busy? 40 year old Pulev then.

The second Joshua faced someone who wasn't on his retirement tour, he got KTFO

Joshua is mentally weak soft . 🥊

I think that was a given but you are not actually supposed to come out and say things like that. When Eddie heard Joshua’s words it’s a lucky thing he didn’t have a stroke

So it would be in boxing's best interest if Ruiz does the job again as this kind of comment will be music to Barry Hearns ears as Barry like he did with Eubank sr. would love to match him with postmen and taxi drivers.At least we know that Ruiz is keen and ready to take on Wilder a man that Barry Hearn has said in public that he was not bothered about Joshua fighting for 'ten years as long as he kept on wining'.The snakes are about to leave the heavyweight picture.Can't wait for the Wilder v Fury rematch.....the biggest fight in the heavyweight division.Joshua was too badly beaten to call that a competitive rematch, although I wish him all the best the bubble has truly burst.

Geez. Joshua sounds so soft.

He doesn't seem to have a warrior's mentality.

It would be in boxing's interest if Wilder gets knocked out in his next fight.

At least with that, he'd have to fight solid contenders and not keep fighting bums and 49-yr old men.

Give him Stiverne, Arreola, Washington, Szpilka, Duhaupas
and all the bums Wilder lined up to make himself look good.
Then demand 50x his worth when offered a big fight,
just like Deontay.

He can’t go back to that, he has mandatories if he wins the rematch, and I don’t feel he beats Usyk if he gets by Pulev.
