Comments Thread For: Joshua's IBF Mandatory Defense vs. Pulev Tabled For April

[MulaKO]

Yes because nobody was trying to punch him in the head until he fought Ruiz........... WTF some of the ****** **** i read on here.

That’s not what I meant Robbie
But everybody thinks they now own the blueprint to a victory

[Weebler I]

I think that will be every opponent he faces
Trying to get that shot right on the side of his head
When they give their victory speech they better not forget to thank God and then Ruiz lol

Hard to duplicate, he was wide open in an exchange.

Definitely right
No fight is like the other
But everyone is going try to headhunt him thinking that’s all it will take

[OnlytheTruth]

he makes UK boxing look really bad to the rest of the world.

Yeah, I'm sure that about 3 people agree with you there.

How did you come to this conclusion?

Everyone is measuring success and purse amounts based on Joshua fights.

[OnlytheTruth]

Hearn fears Usyk, prefers Pulev.

Joshua would fight either.

Hearn still has a job to do for Usyk.

[whatismyname]

This is bs. Unfied champs, should have unified contenders. Usyk and Pulev should get it on for the final number 1 spot. Pulev doesnt even deserve it. Usyk is a top notch fight though

I came to that conclusion based on living in the US and seeing how little repect Aj is given by the few hardcore and casual fans that actually know who he is over here. Along with the general perception I see online from those that don't live in the Uk.

If you think everyone is basing their success on Aj's purses and overall success(which are grossly exaggerated most of the time the same as everyone else's in boxing), you're badly mistaken there.

At the end of the day I don't care what these fighters make. As fans none of us should. ALL fans should want the fighters to just dispense with all the unnecessary talk and posturing and fight the best.

It’s funny that you say only a few hardcore and casual fans know Anthony Joshua yet it’s all anyone can talk about when it comes to Boxing. His name is in everyone’s mouth. I have family in Arkansas and they know Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury but not Deontay Wilder and they are sport crazy!

How am I badly mistaken!? I think you are just very very naive. Or ignorant. It’s one of the two.

If it was all about boxing the best without money or trash talk, why is Wilder wanting to know what Joshua was making for the DAZN deal he was offered? Why is the source of Wilder fans argument; the $50m offer to Joshua argument? Why did Tyson Fury take a $80m tour of America to fight lowly ranked contenders? Why does the word Hearn and Lowball offer get tossed around time after time? Why did Ortiz say £7m wasn’t enough to fight Joshua back in June?

All of circles around money and Joshua/Matchroom and the market that they have created.

You go ahead and live in a fantasy world where money doesn’t control a sport and the expectations of fighters isn’t based on the Matchroom model. Welcome to real world.

For Dubious Gorman was a good opponent but this one looks terrible most people are predicting a round at most. Still light years ahead of Wilder at the same point in his carear but well behind Joshua, have a look at boxrec the facts speak for themselves. Wilder single handly put back US heavyweight boxing years, imagine if Wilder had picked opponents like Joshua and unified against Klitschko or Martin or Parker etc etc etc he'd be the biggest star in boxing, US fans would flock to him and he's sell out stadiums.

Gorman was an awful F grade UK fighter. Nothing good about him.

Wilder is fighting #1 ranked guy in the world. (for 2nd time). While AJ got destroyed by a morbidly obese, low ranked, midget mexican.
Wilder has been making the right fights that last few years, got to back him for that.

In the US most people that know of him think his name is Anthony "the quitter" Johnson.
