    And when Joshua fights yet another feather fisted handpicked bum it will be OK. Right? I mean he should be able to find someone with a pulse this time right? If he is so keen on fighting an opponent the level of Wlad there is no reason for him to fight Molina instead right? For sure he can handpick someone a few notches above that can't he?

    I have followed this story closely since it was first rumoured that they would fight and not once have I heard or read that Eddie Hearn would only make the fight if the WBA would sanction it. Your making stuff up to support your argument and anyone with a bit of sense can see it.

    Would I prefer Vlad fought AJ instead of Browne, of course, but I think Vlad knows his career is winding down so he would rather fight for all the marbles in a risky fight than just one title, well thats the only way this would make sense if you don't think his ducking AJ.

    Joshua is just world champ in name though. Hes still world champ, I wouldt call him less, but its hard to see him on paper as more than a european champ at the moment, until he makes that world level defence.


    why is this a step up for wlad? maybe from his batting average when he was defending sure.

    You must not have been following it too close because here is a quote from Hearn on Sept 27th:

    “From our side, when Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua could box for the WBA and IBF belts on 26 November, we would like to take the fight,” said Hearn.

    Then on Sept 26th:

    "It's a natural fight. On Saturday, we reached out to Bernd Boente and since then we've had a couple of positive conversations and it's a fight he really wants.

    "I was with Anthony this morning in the gym. It's the fight he really wants.

    "If the WBA belt is on the line, which I believe it would be, then it's a unification fight between Joshua and Klitschko. The deal has got to be right, of course"

    Notice his wording in both of those quotes. He specifically mentions IF the WBA is on the line.

    Whoever Joshua fights next will be better than Lucas Browne. Why is Wlad going after Browne instead of Joshua? Hearn can't force Wlad into the ring. If he doesn't want it , he doesn't want it.
    Why is it Joshua's fault Wlad bottled it?

    Nowhere does Hearn say no WBA , no fight.

    Klitschko’s camp are insisting the fight will only go ahead if Joshua’s IBF title and the WBA crown is on the line.

    You know they say a stupid person never knows when they are wrong.

    I don't always believe Hearn , but his claims directly match-up with Wlads intentions. Im not naive , you're just dumb or a pure troll. I still am not sure which after all these years. You'd be better off just admitting you're trolling.

    Klitschko is believed to be considering a match-up with Lucas Browne, who was stripped of the WBA’s ‘regular’ belt after failing a drugs test.

    Tells you all you need to know about this guy. AJ would get savaged if the shoe was on the other foot.

    Wlad fought everyone who wanted to fight him for a decade.

    I don't wanna label him a duck but this is a very strange move by Wlad.

    Joshua is clearly willing to face him.

    That's right, you don't know what a duck is.

    He's not turning down a shot at a world title.
    He'll be fighting for a world title.

    He'll probably make more money in the long run. I suspect it's not even about money at this stage for Wlad.

    If the 15 million or whatever is so important, surely he'd go for it, win, lose or draw.

    Molina isn't better than Browne. He is a Wilder leftover. So is the other guy they are talking about fighting in Duhaupas. It is a total joke of a promotion and fight.

    Who says its Molina? He's a plan B if he is. pULEV HAS also been mentioned.

    Browne is Wlads Plan A. :qmeparto::shakehead:

    He's turning down Joshua to fight a bouncer. Thats exactly what a duck is. Belts mean nothing. Especially vacant ones.
