    Nice video.... anyway, what was the point you were making in your previous post? Was it just another Wlad rant or were you trying to be relevant to the thread?

    It was a good win in a great fight, over a faded legend on his last legs.

    The problem is AJ is living off that win and believes it gives him a pass to duck fighters and have every single fight take place in the uk even though he is supposed to be classified as a world champion.

    In reality he can only be recognized as a British Belt holder.

    And if he wasn't its probably the one he should.

    He could even argue 24 fight Joshua will likely have the best 24 fight resume in HW history.


    Although now i feel like i'm making it too easy for him.

    I say a prime Joshua would beat prime Wlad. People don't understand the pressure that comes with headlining a venue like Wembley stadium against a seasoned and experienced veteran like Wlad while only being a novice with 18 professional fights.

    By that logic Floyd was a domestic level fighter?


    The US invented the A side B side rules.....
    Cant cry about it now.

    Plus us British simply 'love' boxing and it's apparently 'huge' over here.....
    So why would he want to fight in the 'uninterested' States where it's only a 'niche sport'?

    You could make that case, yes... all AJ is missing are enough viable rivals (so far in his career and going forward) and talking down the best name on his resume doesn't help the argument. The opposite, in fact. Wlad was very good over a long career, and AJ was excellent in beating him. Both have flaws.

    Floyd earned record breaking numbers becoming the highest ever paid athlete.

    Where on this Earth would Floyd have earned more money fighting outside of America, the mecca of boxing?

    Joshua has the option of doubling his figures fighting in the States, and opening himself up to a greater market, yet is terrified of not having the comfort of feeling safe in the uk.

    True, it's probably why he wouldn't sign with Hearn, Hearn wanted to build him us as a serious threat and fight someone decent before he got his shot, Fury didn't want any of that and will be fighting Seferi's and Pianeta's all the way to a fight with Joshua.

    I think the best we can expect is he fights the winner of Charr/Oquendo and picks up the regular belt and then gets a shot.

    Joshua was fast tracked due to his amateur experience.

    This whole 18 professional fights as if he only laced a pair of gloves up for the first time against Emanuele Leo is a load of bollocks.

    Look at what Lomachenko in less than 12 professional fights which makes a mockery of this garbage argument

    Joshua was in his prime due to his physical constitution being to that of a nearly 30 years old and havign the advantage of being so much younger to grandpa Wlad. He wasn't some young teenager who had never been in the ring before.

    And yes Prime Wladimir wouldn't have made the fight a routine win because he would have finished Joshua off after that first knockdown.

    In one thread you agree that boxing is dead in the US........
    Now it's the 'Mecca of Boxing'.


    Can you make a second account so we can differentiate between the two voices in your head?

    Did you ever watch Wlad fight?

    He's never been a good finisher.
