Nah Fury would take too long with negotiations. We need Joshua the **** out of the sport as soon as possible after saying dumb **** like this… This content is protected Feed him to Hrgovic. Filip would take that fight right away. Offended at Loma calling him strong…
I am honestly not convinced either side want it at this point. Fury will begin negotiations, stretch them out for six months, demand 80/20 and a rematch clause, demand the rematch clause be scrapped when it is granted, and announce that Joshua is a shithouse and he is fighting the winner of Chisora-Whyte III instead.
Usyk is great ... but otherwise I'm looking forward to the next generation of HWs. They need to fight each other and press to intercede into the belt-circle-jerk saga. Obvious I know, but every time I read anything Fury/Wilder/Ruiz, etc. I know it's just leading to months of attention seeking drama and messing around, probably for nothing. Say what you like about Joshua, but he's found a way to put together fights against top tier competition, which have actually eventuated.
I like Joshua and always have, for exactly the reasons you have said. But I think he is going to want a little more rebuilding time, and he deserves it.
Agree. Wlad rebuilt, and many were arguing at the time his confidence was gone for good. Even Usyk eased into HW. If he wins, and doesn't look like he's in trouble through-out, that's better than not actually fighting and just scoring points on social media. He's 33 so he's got a bit of time in hand.
I would be shocked. Fury is all wrong for him. Joshua has lost the aggression he needs to trouble Fury, and hanging out on the outside jabbing won't work against Tyson. Mind you, I'm sick of Fury and would love to see it, but Usyk is the only opponent with a decent shot imo.
I actually like what I saw from AJ on Saturday. He was working on the fundamentals good use of the left hand, jab the best I have seen from him and will get better with Derrick James. He was snapping it out and good hook to with some nice uppercuts on the inside and some body shots. Franklin is elusive with good head movement and durable but he lost by a wide margin.
