I like Joshua and Martin, but I object to this "world" title fight now

    Joshua has stated many times that he thinks he can beat anyone in the world. He said he could beat Fury today but it would be a hard fight in a year or two it will be easy. That is basically word for word from his mouth.

    This is exactly the kind of fight that's useful to separate a legit contender from a fringe one, but there shouldn't be a belt on the line. Both are still in a developmental phase.

    I hear what you're saying and it makes a lot of sense to me. It should have a tournament or something of that nature for that belt. That is a weakness in boxing as well as that catchweight mess.

    Well, he said he wasn't ready also. You know, fighters talk ****. Let's see how he fares against Martin, first.

    I hope this is not too soon for Joshua .martin seems to be being written off .Joshua is still learning this fight is a big risk .to me this reminds me of bonecrusher :Bruno .I hope I am wrong.

    Out of context, he said he wasn't ready to take the risk, not that he wasn't ready to fight them. Two very different things.

    Why risk mad pay days for a quick buck and to please the fans?
