    Oh yeah I won't pay a PPV for it but then there's very few fights I would, probably a handful at most.

    Your final sentence is spot on re Joshua as I also think he is badly exposed every time he steps up now.

    Dillian Whyte dancing on ice at Wembley Stadium against Fury showed his limitations and imagine what would happen if Wilder landed one on him. Whyte was really a British Level/European Challenger who was somehow sold by Hearn as a genuine contender then ducks his opportunity to fight Joshua.

    The fight would have been OK 5 years ago but now has the feel of Garry Neville's 5 a side team defeating Jamie Carragher's 5 a side team.

    Nobody really cares who wins and both fighters appear to be only looking for easy PPV Loot these days.

    Well he hasn’t cleaned out the 175lb division at all has he, because he hasn’t boxed Beterbiev who is ranked number 1 for a reason as he knocked out the other champions in Gvozdyk and Smith and also battered top contenders like Yarde and Brown. None of which Bivol has boxed let alone beaten, so he hasn’t cleaned out anything you biased clown :).

    Gvozdyk retired after losing to Beterbiev and has only returned recently, outpointing Bolotniks. No reason why he deserves to fight Bivol as he hasn't beaten a top contender since returning. Bivol already beat Joe Smith Jr. Notice how I said "except Beterbiev" (which includes Smith if he beats Beterbiev). Marcus Browne lost to Jean Pascal who Bivol already beat before Browne fought Beterbiev.

    Bivol easily has the best resume at 175. I think they are delaying the announcement of his next fight to see if Callum Smith beats Beterbiev.

    Who cares, where are you going with this? Yes fair play to AJ for ducking nobody, we know he’s mustard as he had relatively zero amateur experience and stepped up when needed. Agree that Fury is making himself look a complete idiot, but he’s not exactly from great stock is he so we shouldn’t be surprised.

    He did always say for the last 10 years that he wanted to defend against Chisora in a trilogy tbf.

    Whether or not people think Beterbiev for his power and strength or Bivol for his boxing and slickness will win when they eventually fight, Beterbiev clearly has a more impressive record at 175lbs.

    Stop pushing your pitiful MR agenda. Bivol boxed against Craig Richards for gods sake. Embarrassing defence.

    Bivol doesn't have a single win on his record as good as Artur's vs Gvodzyk.

    There's a reason that he and Hearn have been aging him out. And I really rate Bivol too.

    Whyte against Fury and Joshua against Franklin saw both throw about 23 punches combined. Only person going to sleep would be anyone who paid for it. Both are petrified of getting hit these days.

    Gvozdyk knocked Bolotniks out. It didn’t go to points.

    Bivol does not have the best resume at 175 at all :lol: take off the Matchroom specs for one day ffs.

    Gvozdyk was feared and Beterbiev knocked him out and sent him into a 3 year retirement.

    I do worry about the lad I’ll be honest (apart from most of the time when I’m posting on here and reading his Brentwood accountants ridiculously one sided take on anything MR related and then I want to poor his ribena over his head).

    I paid for Joshua v Parker and felt like a complete mug the next day.

    That was a big wake up call for me.

    That is a 10-7 round to Jim

    Drama needs 2 knockout in the final round to win this contest.
