If the Wilder fight I due next spring, he won't fight a live body before that. Look for a big name who's over the hill. Tony Bellew?
He's a safe fight and the opponent is more likely to be chosen from the safe list than the dangerous list.
And never will be - Wilder has never wanted it... Goalposts will shift, and shift, and shift and it'll never happen, yet the fanboys will still insist it's AJ that's ducking.
Must be hard bieng an AJ fan Millions of chumps who couldn't tell a bodybuilder from a real champion and now they're stuck with this big useless lump who is just looking for a final payday to get KO'd on.
In a podcast interview Tim Bradley was asked his thoughts on Joshua and he said he thinks Joshua's killer instinct has deserted him. Not the first person to say that and I think he is on the money.
Abel Sanchez pointed out the same thing. I think when Joshua fought Ruiz and got hurt, he became timid at being aggressive. Its clear he never wants that kind of ass whooping ever again.
It's easy to say that Joshua would beat Zhang, Joyce or Dubois when we all know he won't fight any of them, Joshua needs to fight first to back up the claims...
Zhang. Zhang's well regarded at the moment and has been hyped up, possibly this is undeserving as Joyce imo isn't great shakes. Joshua would have a great chance to beat him, assuming he did it'd be a great confidence booster.
Also add why are Joyce and Dubois to the list that don't belong. Joyce was stopped then KTFO in his last 2 fights, Dubois is flirting with being finished and has beaten who?
As uninspiring performance last time out, but he's still a heavy puncher with some skills. Typical double standards around Joshua... Look at Wilder and Joshua and ask why the one who hasn't been knocked out twice by a pillowfist is the one with the suspect chin, and why the one with the solid resume is the one who gets grief if they pick a B grade opponent that'd still go into the others top 3...
