Comments Thread For: Joshua: I'd Hate To Vacate a Belt - I Know I Can Get it Right Back!

You clearly haven't had the therapy you brutally need. Saying that masterclass wasn't good boxing with AJ having little ability? That's Parker you're describing.

You stay angry and twisted. Stay being our whore with a prolapse. You creepy weirdo.

Parker went toe to toe with Ruiz. And won. Parker fought the proper fit version of Ruiz. Not the blimp Anthony quitter Johnson, played ring around the rosie with.

would Joshua be able to file for exemptions from the IBF and WBO mandatories to fight the winner of Wilder-Fury for undisputed, or were they already filed to sanction the Ruiz rematch?

Wilder and Fury both have rematch clauses, so there's essentially a 0% chance of an undisputed fight in 2020.

But to answer your question, if Joshua beats Pulev, yes there should be a chance to file for an exception to fight a unification before Usyk. Doesn't mean the exception would be granted, but it probably would be.

Ruiz would be cruiser weight if he wasn't severely obese.

Watching a huge man like AJ run from a short fat blob for 12 rounds, just proves how little boxing ability AJ really has. It was comical to watch.

Everyone is just used to Joshua knocking people out! When Fury completely outboxed Wilder and Klitschko, it’s a great performance. Double standards entirely!

Fury hasn’t ever had to change his game plan on an immediate rematch to reclaim his unified crown. So really, Joshua’s performance was far better considering the circumstances.

I’m open to being proven wrong but I still see it as ‘Joshua did what he had to do’ in order to become Champion again.

"I've kept hold of them for so many years?"

He only got them back this month!

Well, he won the IBF back in 2015, won against Wladimir back in 2017 and lost to Ruiz mid 2019.

We are going to 2020, so he won the IBF almost 5 years ago.

Oh yeah, I forgot that Fury immediately rematched Wilder. Definitely didn’t take over a year to arrange after the WBC ordered a rematch.

You talk sooooo much sense.

Dillian ducked Pulev.. He didn't want to go to Bulgaria! AJ should fight Pulev first.. Because I thinks he deserves a soft touch.. Home fight.. I want him fully rejuvenated when he faces Wilder. Usky can wait.. He can't come up to heavy.. Have one fight.. An demand the champion face him next.. Who in the *** wrote these bs rules??? Like I said.. Wilder is fighting Fury.. AJ should fight pulev.. *** uksy.. He can wait cause unifications trump mando's if AJ and Wilder want to fight each other next!

Whens that happening? When is Wilder going to stop ducking? Dont forget only this month Wilder once again said "I WILL NEVER FIGHT ANTHONY JOSHUA" I know the Wilder fans go deathly silent on the fact Wilder said that, apart from one sad act who made the excuse that Wilder was "Emotional" when he said it.

The IBF have shown they can be incredibly ruthless in stripping fighters who don't come to terms with their mandatories, and it's how they manipulate the rankings and fights to squeeze more sanctioning fees.

It will certainly be interesting to see if AJ has to choose to lose one or the other.
In this day and age, he's done well to hang on to the 4 belts he has had for as long as he has.

I don't see Wilder going anywhere near AJ until he's at the point of retiring/cashing out.

And now that he's being 'elevated' (not that he has done anything to deserve even this ridiculous 'honour'), He has more leeway and room to fight whomever he wants, whenever he wants; in other words, business as usual.

Lol this is a good excuse for avoiding Usyk.

You guys are terrible!!!! Usyk? You rate Usyk? I thought I had seen it all with the sceptics and kindergarten fanboys until I see this

Exactly! Most fan boys think in boxes. Boxing is the only sport with shortsighted view and thinking...
