    Thanks Sonny. He seemed to try on Saturday but got nothing going. Looked disjointed and unsteady on his legs. Whether it's ring rust or ageing im not sure. Worst ive ever seen him. Parker boxed well but I think theres a few heavies around who'd probably beat both of them. Some of them were on that bill I think.
    They're talking AJ vs Hyrgovic now which I think is a better fight.

    I was referring to Hearn rather than the original post but will bear it in mind ;)

    AJ has had 3 soft touches this year which has probably been good for him, but not so good for the fans, so let’s hope the Hrgovic fight is more competitive and he gets backed up and asked questions to make it an interesting fight.

    Got a feeling that his next fight will be much weaker opposition than Hrgovic with Hearn currently looking at the shot list.

    Would be shocked if it is not next to zero threat opponents such as Wilder or Whyte but they may take a 1% risk and go for Joey Twelve Parker.

    Joshua the serial ducker should have fought Wilder before Fury and there was no excuse for not fighting on Saturday against Wilder.

    Two huge opportunities lost and beating Egg Shell Wilder in his next fight is laughable now.

    The fights need to be made at the right time and @Mitch87 CV analysis of the Joshua CV with a win against Wilder would have had him right up there with Lennox Lewis when in reality his ability is more Herbie Hide.

    Warren should push for AJ-Dubois as he has the Saudi contract. We’ll have to see, but if I was him I would use Joshua against his guys including Zhang and maybe even Joyce. AJ won’t want to box outside of KSA now, he’s a greedy buggar. Warren knows AJs time is almost up whatever people think of the Wallin result. He wants his scalp for one of his guys.

    Would take Joshua v Dubois, Joyce or Bakole for his next fight with the winner gaining so much moving forward.

    Both wilder and Whyte are out the picture.

    Maybe time to get an younger unknown name in.

    Wilder reported ducked AJ 3 or 4 times. All of which were reported over double Wilder's career high purse at the time.

    Wilder even admitted that he could fought AJ instead of Fury for first fight for much more money and for the undisputed but chose Fury ( effectively admitting the duck and cherry puck gone wrong.

    Wilder manager arranged for him, Wilder, Finkel and Haymons to sit down with John Skipper from DAZN to see if they accept the $100m deal. Wilders manager admitted that the other 3 had no interest in making the fight and sacked him on the spot after the meeting for even attempting to make the fight.

    Fury has reported turned down the chance to fight AJ 3 times.

    Wilder this Saturday was exact same Wilder we have seen throughout of his career. He just made a change of fighting a worldd level opponent for changes that had a plan to exploit all his weaknesses.

    You called it wrong and Wilder would make easy work. Called it massively wrong and get over it.

    Parker beat Wilder by shutout Saturday and he would of beaten Wilder 5 years ago if Wilder had the bottle to fight a world level fighter instead of tins cans for majority of career

    My choice would Hrgovic and if not, either Zhang or Sanchez would be suitable opponents.

    Wallin was a soft touch for AJ for people that knew boxing (I said AJ would make easy work of Wallin) however many Wilder and Fury fans on where saying Wallin would beat AJ. Some even saying Wallin would be AJs best win after Wlad lol.

    Mike coppinger even said when the card was announced that Wallin is a much tougher opponent than Parker lol.

    Hearn admitted recently that he did receive the £50m offer from the Wilder Camp but decided against taking the fight.

    Tony Ducker Joshua also done a Daffy on Fury.
