Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua, Kubrat Pulev Have Until January 31 To Reach Deal

With Wilder and Fury apparently tied up for 2020, this is the best we can hope for I suppose

You know what this division desperately needs? Another belt!

[Cortez]

That’s not how it works, each sanctioned body has their own mandatory . If they fought each other a mandatory would still need to be in place and a set deadline put forth that satisfies each body .

plenty of times one guy has been the mandatory in multiple bodies, they could fight each other, first, but they would rather fight for a vacant belt

I am not a fan of Joshua, but it is not he who should fight various Pulevs and Usyks after he regained belts. Pulev should fight Usyk, that would be a fair eliminator.

... Of course... and Pulev already ducked AJ in 2017... (there should be an easy fight to make -- even with a purse bid)...

Good.

I hope AJ goes in the direction of Pulev if for no other reason than to see Usyk earn his shot by going through Parker or at the very least Chisora.

I know i know, to you Usyk diehards he is the best thing since sliced bread. I think he is good too.

I just think the road to a HW belt and career best payday should not be through Chazz "********" Witherspoon.

Let the man earn his shot in much the same way Evander Holyfield did!!

Am a big Usyk fan, but i would rather he has two fights at HW first before fighting Joshua.

Hopefully they wrap this deal up soon and if Usyk fights for the WBO title then so be it. Would love to see him in with Povetkin, Parker, Whyte or Chisora.

[Laligalaliga]

I still prefer uysk/chisora.

That’s if the guy is ranked in both, They just can’t say my guy against yours gets the shot . The WBO isn’t going to give the O.K to Pulev just because he defeats Usyk or vice versa . Neither guy is ranked in each other’s sanctioned body.

[Slimpack]

Why is AJ getting all the tough guys as mandatory and Wilder getting p*ssies instead?

[Cool Scant]

Knowing the way AJ likes to lowball people, Pulev would be better off going to purse bid.

It's common knowledge that the alphabet boys have an agreed mandatory rotation system, so no reason for anyone to get stripped unless they don't adhere to the requirements.
