Klitschko stepping up vs Browne. December 10th WBA title

Not at all.
I'm 100% aware that Wlad is opting for the easier fight.

Difference is, I have a sense of perspective. I'm not whining about "ducking". I'm not acting like it's criminal or disgraceful behaviour from Wladimir. Or crying in disappointment over some fight that no one even knew was on the cards a few weeks ago.

A 40-year-old has-been, coming off a loss and 12-month lay-off, a fighter who was a f--king BORE for most of his 9 year reign ..... why would anyone care so much about what his next fight is ?

This is what I don't get. All these people criticizing Wladimir seem to hold him in far greater esteem than he deserves.

 

So ignore it.

 

No just fans who want to see the best fights possible

 

Well, someone's going to end up fighting Lucas Browne for the WBA anyway. Why not Wlad?

I don't remember Joseph Parker getting this much flak for taking on Ruiz for the WBO instead of Joshua.
And, in fact, Hearn seemed to be pleased and encouraged that, to build up the fight later.
A lot of people here agreed with it.

Yet Parker-Joshua's probably the better fight.

Hearn has Luis Ortiz signed and is matching him with Malik Scott, not Joshua.
Not much complaint about that either, compared to the flak Wladimir is getting.
But Wladimir is the one guy who deserves a bit of slack if anyone does, considering his age, his record and the fact that he's coming off a losss and been messed around for 12 months by Fury's antics.

 

Boente has mentioned facing Joshua next year if they don't fight next. He said they could use the same deal they've already worked out next year if they both win their next fights. There was an article on ESPN a few days ago about it.

No way of telling if that's truly Wlad's plan or if its just talk but a Wlad-Joshua fight taking place next year has been discussed.

 

Not the point. So he is 'willing' to fight Wlad but when that fight can't be made he goes back to fighting the bum level and handpicked Breazeale level opponents. Tell me how this makes any sense? For sure you can't be this stupid? Do you understand this?

 

I don't think you quite understand what I am saying. Why is Joshua reverting back to the handpicked bums if he can't get Wlad? Makes no sense. Hearn just signed Ortiz. Why doesn't he just throw him in there with Joshua instead of digging up corpses like Molina who is awful.

 

It's obviously greed on the part of his promoter.
Eddie Hearn was apparently willing to risk AJ against a 40-year-old Wladimir for BIG BIG money, but is unwilling to pay up a big payday for lesser-known decent challengers so offers peanuts and ends up with the third-rate challengers.

Funny thing is, he's just signed Luis Ortiz, one of the best contenders out there. But everyone knows he won't be matching AJ with Ortiz any time soon.

 

Even a Dillian Whyte rematch would be better than Molina.

Also, David Haye is willing to fight AJ.
I don't even view Haye as a serious contender. I think Haye would lose badly to AJ, and doesn't deserve a shot.
But he's still better than Molina.
And obviously AJ-Haye would SELL.

It's funny how the whole "who will AJ fight next?" game has been spun to blame Wladimir for AJ's poor opposition, who a month ago was thought to be facing Fury anyway.
And, even as we speak, there are much better fighters out there than Molina.

 

Most people will. But most will demand more from the sport. Not everybody's standards are as low as yours.

 

Why don't you criticise Wlad for a disgraceful cherry pick against Browne. AJ picked Wlad. Wlad picked Browne.
Do you think your trolling isn't blatantly obvious? It is.

 

AJ also cherrypicked Martin. See a pattern here Dino? The guy is in a competition with Wilder to see who can fight the worst opponents it seems. If the guy is willing to fight Wlad for sure he can fight Ortiz who would be an in house fight for Hearn instead on feasting on Molina (a Wilder leftover) or Pulev (a Wlad leftover)

Why is Joshua so coddled? What are they trying to mask or hide?

 

Wlad should be fighting Ortiz since he is the WBA #1 one ranked contender , not Browne who is #5.
We all know Wladdy the weasel would never go near that fight. He used his clout with the WBA to have them serve Browne up to him for the Super title
He's a joke and so are you.

 

I support Leeds Utd. We are **** atm. But every time we concede a goal, or fail to get 3 points, I am disappointed whether I expect it or not. Same way I support boxing, every time a big fight falls through I am disappointed whether I expect it or not.

I am disappointed that a big fight between a heavily hyped prospect and a legend at the tail end of his career isnt coming off. Why wouldn't I be disappointed in that? Especially when he is instead opting to fight a lesser regarded opponent?

It is all about the best fighting the best. If you aren't interested in seeing that what's the point in following the sport?

 

On the contrary, the standards of most are very low indeed.
That's why Anthony Joshua is rated so highly already by beating such pathetic opposition.
That's why David Haye is regarded by the masses as a top fighter still.
