Comments Thread For: Usyk Vows To Enforce Mandatory Fight on Anthony Joshua

[tophat1]

I get what you are saying but also how is it fair to the other top contenders to have this guy come up from another division and force you down a spot? It sucks that Usyk is getting older and time is running out but that is life and why should the other guys in the division have to cater to Usyks needs? I like Usyk and I think he has potential to do some damage in the division but at this age I think it is a bit too late and unfair to force everyone to cater to his needs.

It's not really catering to usyks needs its the wbo rules , if a champ moves up he's automatically number 1 contender, like we had with crawford horn. he would have probably moved up anyway but he may have made the jump up based of this rule

Get past Chisora first then start making a fuss!

Though Joseph Parker would hand out a loss to either of them!

Wow so your an Aj Hearn fanboy that gets angry at facts that alot agree with how Hearn manipulates to protect his cash cow.
Grow up moron.
Or better still come out of the basement, go upto mummys room & tell me to my face. Its coupon night & I've been trampolining her all night.

You are a complete imbecile, a total piece of crap. Nothing you say has any merit and you are a clueless tool. Enjoy your ignorance you insignificant joke of a human.

Grow up you childish moron, grow up and try being an adult for a change.

Eddie Hearns has been prattling on for years about how him and Anthony Joshua have one goal, to unify all of the belts. They have used this as an excuse to avoid Deontay Wilder, and have been trying to use it against Tyson Fury. Would be comical after all that has been said if AJ then drops a belt rather than fight his mandatory. What hypocrites they would be. There are literally hours of interviews of AJ and Hearns on YouTube, talking about how important it is to them to monopolise all of the alphabet titles. Let's see what happens. I'd like to see their nuthuggers trying to explain such a cowardly move away.

Try reading the crap you wrote without laughing at the idiot who wrote it, I can't.

Matchroom payroll alert

So if I don't agree with clueless idiots who apparently know nothing about boxing at all, I'm on Matchroom payroll?

Truth is I'm just more knowledgeable than you, sorry about that.

Okay then, let's try another approach. AJ has two mandatorys, in Pulev and Usyk, yes? He and Hearns have chosen to take on Pulev first, yes? So naturally, you would think Usyk will be AJ's next fight after Pulev, yes? If that doesn't happen, after Usyk has made it clear he really wants the fight and is trying to enforce his mandatory, who is at fault? And if AJ would rather vacate than fight Usyk, what do you make of that? How would you feel about AJ vacating after talking up unifying all of the belts?

Usyk has an incredible resume, and is undefeated. It's one of the few times I fully endorse a quick trip to a title fight.

I agree he has a great resume. Typically when one moves up in divisions and faces the top challengers it is in a much lower division where the weight disparity is not so great. The difference between cruiser and HW can be over 50 lbs on average. The difference between going from MW to SMW is 6-7 lbs. This would be like Pac going from his starting weight to SMW or LHW with in a year. Usyk is not going to be fighting low 200 pound fighters he is going to be going up against the top guys who are mostly over 250.

Ya and that rule should be rethought. That rule is tough to apply when moving up to HW. Moving up from WW to SWW is not that big as compared to moving from cruise to HW. Usyk is going from having to make 200 lbs max to unlimited. That is a drastic different and the WBO should reconsider its rule. Would they allow a fighter at minimum weight to move up to middle weight and put them at #1 contender?

Not sure what is going on between you two but you going on a rant and insulting him to then go onto calling him childish and to grow up.......................Ironic eh?

If AJ vacates it will only be because he feels the Fury fight is a better option. I doubt it will happen as AJ wants all the belts (unlike Fury who says they are irrelevant).

AJ v Fury has 10x the importance of AJ v Usyk. It is the biggest fight in the World of boxing right now. Usyk is a great boxer, but he isn't a heavyweight and will struggle in the division.

The important thing is that AJ and Fury fight as soon as possible, anything else is wasting time.
