Joshua

That was a hungry Joshua on the come up who had complete self belief , a total different man to now

Fury needs to leave sugar hill. His technical skill has regressed so much under him

 

What part of 12 rounds with pillow fist Martin and a timid performance against useless Helenius makes you think that?

Joshua is timid, gun shy and nervous to exchange. Francis is the biggest puncher baring wilder. Joshua would certainly not get into any meaningful kind of exchanges early on

You may be right about Joshua in your other points, he would have went out against Ruiz if he hadn't quit I believe, if he came back out Ruiz would have spanked him, he knew it

 

Joshua v Ngannou in Dec 23 would generate huge interest and a winnable fight for both after what I watched last night.

A win for Joshua in this fight would do wonders for his confidence should he come through.

Bakole would be another very good opponent for December and a fight that would excite the public.

Sadly we will get a zero threat opponent while he waits for the Dillian Whyte rematch.

 

Joshua’s team wouldn’t let him anywhere near Ngannou.

 

No, he QUIT before he was laid flat.

 

Eddie Hearn the mong, is acting like AJ won an undisputed fight last night in Saudi.

Apparantly he's "buzzing" for AJ.

I would love to see Joshua against Ngannou to be honest after Ngannou’s performance against Fury. I don’t think Ngannou beats any of the top 20 heavyweights but a lot of people have bought into the hype so it would be a good move from Joshua’s point of view. I think Joshua would stop Ngannou inside 6 rounds.

 

I'd much rather AJ didn't fight a novice in the MMA guy. Too easy of a fight and he will get no credit for it

I' much rather AJ fight a tougher more credible test in the likes of Hrgovic, Hunter, Makhmudov, Bakole Sanchez or Zhang.

 

Or Charr or kabayel koogs.

Ariel has it out with Hearn about disrespecting Ngannou by saying 3 rounds for AJ. Ariel asks how he could say that when Tyson is clearly a better fighter than Joshua.

Hearn does his job well, great at bending the truth and creating narratives.

 

Stopped listening to Hearn's Angel Delight years ago.

When his mouth farts, the sound is all lies, spin, mismatches portayed as 50/50 huge tests and specialist PR services for Drugs Cheats.

 

Joshua needs to humiliate Fury into needing to fight him, that means blasting out the guys he’s struggled with. He should already have dealt with Wallin, but instead he’s drifted for 14 months. Ngannou (before anyone else gets to him), Wilder, and Wallin (if he can’t get Wilder) should be his hit list IMO.

Does he want it anymore though, who knows.

 

"He should already have dealt with Wallin"

The fact that they didn't go for Wallin says that they have zero confidence in Joshua's ability relative to Fury. They put Joshua in with unknown part time factory worker Franklin rather than Wallin. Then Whyte (who also blatantly ducked Wallin), who was replaced by 39 Helenius (also nowhere near as good as Wallin). Next it will be 39 Charr or former sparring partner Kabayel.

Unlike Wallin, Ngannou and Wilder are massive puncher's, so I can't see Joshua fighting them either. Joshua's team much prefer short light punching plodders.

 

Helenius and Whyte are much bigger punchers than Wallin. What are you talking about? They never picked Wallin because he is a southpaw. Joshua would have no problems defeating Wallin - he already beat him in the amateurs.

 

"They never picked Wallin because he is a southpaw. Joshua would have no problems defeating Wallin"

The cognitive dissonance is unreal.

If Joshua would have "no problems defeating Wallin" then Wallin being a southpaw wouldn't matter would it? They'd have fought him over that short featherfisted orthodox unknown part time factory worker and tried to one-up Fury. But they evidently lacked the confidence!

Helenius and Whyte are inferior to Wallin and they don't punch as hard as Ngannou or Wilder, nor are they anywhere near as dangerous. Hence Charr/Kabayel/Yoka next.
