    Lol. It's funny how the industry as a whole has no faith in AJ.
    Silly for Joshua not to take a mando. He doesn't HAVE TO do the 2 fights a year pampered superstar thing. Esp when he's fighting his like Pulev and Ruiz.

      He’s beaten at least 7 other guys of Pulev’s quality, he takes one loss and all of sudden the guy should be wrapped in cotton wool. Bleating on a bout his chin, he didn’t even get hit on the chin, total nonsense.

        Usyk/Chisora is a logical/predictable choice, but not the ideal scenario imo. I also believe that Kownacki would be pretty easy for Usyk to solve, and beating him would put another Matchroom fighter in line for Wilder. Fighting Kownacki would expose Usyk to the NYC audience (assuming its at the Barclays), thus increasing his profile and bargaining power especially if the fight is entertaining. Having Usyk fight off DAZN is a risk worth taking.

            It's not the "big one" without the titles. Wilder v Joshua has been intriguing all this time because it would create an undisputed champion holding every major belt.
            If Joshua let the titles go waiting for the Fury/Wilder winner, it would more likely result in the Wilder/Fury winner then hunting down the titles Joshua dropped.....

            And isn't there a rematch clause on both sides for both Wilder and Fury ? How long would Joshua have to wait ?

            Its not the dumbest thing Warren has ever said, but a contender.

              The last quote was funny and true.

                I don't know if that's "likely", but it is certainly possible. Hearn is ready to make a 50/50 deal in America, so neither Wilder or Fury will have an excuse if that offer shows up.

                Either way you slice it, Warren had to be drunk or something. Having all 4 belts on the line means everything. The Wilder/Fury winner fighting an uncrowned king would be throwing away money. Joshua is good enough to deal with Pulev, and after the Ruiz fiasco, he'll be at the top of his game from now on. If Team Joshua isn't confident, there's always step aside money.

It’s inevitable he would cautious. I was not overly pleased with his performance as a fan but he boxed to instructions which is easier said than done.

                  My opinion if he did not rematch for those belts there would be 3 different champions within a year.( just the governing body politics)
                  Anyway as for Frank Warren he should mind his own business but if Fury won in February there would be an immediate rematch so where will that leave Joshua?
                  My man. This is as real as a boxing fan can comment.
                  Your opinion is solid
                  SALUTE to you sir. Much respect to you as one of the FEW boxing fans on here bro.

                    “Everybody knows, and it showed 100% in New York, if he gets clipped on the chin he’ll go.” Warren said.

                    Warren is silly. Ruiz hit Joshua on the temple/back of the head multiple times to cause Joshua to go down. It was never a shot to the chin.

                    Joshua took a solid shot from Klitschko and was stunned then went down. Whyte hit him good on the chin and he didn't go down.

                    That stuff about Joshua not having a chin is foolish.

                      This is why you probably will not see Joshua and deontay ever fight=fear ego greedy promoters UK vs USA money split venue tug of war of power and control.So we probably can forget about these two guys ever fighting.but we can dream lol
