    Considering how much time you spend on this forum, it would be a worthwhile investment on your part to fix your writing style. Perhaps an investment for the greater good of the forum too.

    In fact, I posit that given the amount of time you have spent here, you could have earned yourself a degree or two. But I'm sure you have some already tucked away, just not one in writing perhaps?

    Yeah I don't disagree - he has done a really good job representing the sport and no doubt has inspired many people to get involved.

    Whatever you think of Matchroom, they've done an excellent job marketing him to the wider public.

    I really think you are taking this forum far too seriously. It's just a sport, and it's just an internet forum.

    Watching Sephiroth and Aydamn's clinic on postulation makes me wonder about the sanity of it all. The back and forth between the two of you is concerning. Your abilities could be put to better use as moderators.

    This. If Joshua doesn't want to fight nobody can make him. Joshua's taking the rematch because he wants it. I remember years ago that Don King badly wanted Tyson to fight Bert Cooper, but Tyson wanted nothing to do with the fight and overruled King and made King find him another opponent.

    Take it from me, you don’t want Seph as a moderator.

    He wouldn’t last 2 months anyway

    If he has he has if he hasnt he hasnt, if he has he certainly wouldnt be the 1st but you know **** all anyway you are a known hater and a known liar on this forum so no matter what has happened or what will happen your guna look for a way to crap on it.

    If Joshua still has the same ambition he had before then he would take this rematch anyway. There are belts on the line after all. If this wasnt for titles by all means walk away. It Boxing, so Box. Its those managers and promoters who are talking their fighters out of career high paydays and chances at being unified or undisputed champions that need to be highlighted here. Not the ones who are getting title fights.

    Where this fight takes place - if indeed it does - will tell us more about who's calling the shots. It would best serve AJ's needs to rematch in the UK, where he feels way more comfortable. Hearn would prefer it in the US where he's still trying to establish a foothold in the market and needs his A-lister's reputation restored where it was tarnished.

    But a truly responsible promoter would let him rebuild for a couple of fights, in my view. That wasn't a lucky punch KO defeat. He was dismantled. Let him put it all back together and - more importantly - add the missing layers to his game, then test out Joshua 2.0 before he meets his nemesis again. An immediate rematch might see his defeat, revenged. But that's high risk.

    If it's about his legacy, there's no rush, is there?

    Such tall words from such a tiny man.

    Give evidence and prove where I've lied

    Barry gave the game away in the Whyte-Rivas presser.

    That presser was sickening to listen to.

    July 9th 2019 (BST TIME) -

    "Dillian ducked Breazeale"
    "Breazeale called out Dillian first"

    I think a lot of people don't like what AJ/Hearn represent.

    They have shown us you don't need to be good at boxing to be the word champion.
    You can be the 4th/5th best in the world and hold the titles ransom.
    As long as you snatch the titles when they are vacant, you can then lowball and price yourself out of fights against the two top fighters in the division (wilder and fury)

    Now we will probably be watching Ruiz and Joshua endlessly rematching each other for the world titles, despite them not being the best in the division.

    Like most of us I think sepheroth is getting frustrated with the situation

    Exercising the rematch clause is his best chance at getting the belts back. If not and Ruiz loses he will never get them back. If he is scared of Ruiz then he's done for as a boxer anyway.

    Despite all of the commercial and public profile Joshua has never done that many interviews with the likes of IFL..Boxing Social etc

    Before or after the Ruiz fight
