    Yes, another Martin affair. Breazeale is slow and slower.

    USA are hyping Terence Crawford as the next ATG, that should tell you enough about their hopes. USA need to get behind Andre Ward, someone who actually will go down as an ATG.

    They have some TRULY great potential in three guys who are currently in the amateurs, though.

    I don't know a single person who thinks Crawford will be an atg before Ward

    Ive never heard of him prior to AJ's team announcing him. He's gotta be on the same level as the bums Wilder has hand-picked. AJ will get a pass once, but if he continues to pick no-hopers the love fest for him will end quickly.

    We had it with price over here,he was knocking over nobodies,buthe to me always moved like he'd necked a litre of vodka and looked awful apart from killer ko power,in effect that will take you so far.
    Tyson Fury the same,he's 6"9 or whatever,that is his attribute no one in a poor hw division can negate it,well out of the poor crop he's faced,and that includes wlad,and the reason i'Ll say that is because once again ppl are blind to certain glaring things they see every fight he has.
    He fights limited smaller opposition,terrified to risk a right hand till he's jabbed someone to death for 5 rounds and clinched after each jab.he didn't have that advantage vs Fury,and in one of the most pathetic excuses for a hw title fight was terrified to even jab because his advantage has gone.mike tyson would have him ****tin his shorts before the weigh in,even with the size difference,as reference watch the Ibragimov over fight when he was trying to get on hbo and got ****ed off.
    And without ever seeing breazeale I can't take a pro fighter for real with puppy fat or flab against someone who kills themselves day in day out like Joshua.
    Love to see Joshua Parker,both respectfully,both series about what they're doing,I'd pick joshua because of his size advantages but would be a barn burner while it lasted

    You got USA and HBO mixed up. Two different entities.

    I think it will be, they put a British title fight between Joshua and Whyte on PPV so I don't see this being any different, especially now Joshua holds a world title.

    Also Sky and Matchroom seem to have made their minds up and made it clear that Joshua is a PPV star in the UK like it or not so I will be surprised if it isn't.

    This PPV model here in the UK is what happens when lots of British boxing fans pay for very poor PPV events time after time, they believe anything they are told, completely buy in to the staged scuffles and hype.
