    This strategic of Joshua haters is sweet.
    They choose anybody whos AJ dont fight yet and saying he avoid them because he afraid.

    xD

    Yes Anthony dont fight with Zhang. He cant fight with all only to satisfy Your fantasy.

    But the best is fact that there is still idiots who blame Joshua and Hearn that Joshua dont fight Wilder. Even now when Joseph Parker explain situation loud and clear...

    Pulev, Usyk x 2, Franklin are not big HW punchers. Helenius and Ngannou are but Helenius was old and well past his best, and Ngannou Is a MMA fighter who moves like a statue in quicksand and he doesn't possess the boxing skills or the engine to throw and land with anywhere near the consistency on a pro boxer as a boxer does.

    Big Bang Zhang's team reached out to Team AJ after the Wallin fight to try and make the fight happen. He said they've been trying to make that fight for quite a while now, even when he was signed to ReMatchroom, but he said E-Hearn sees him as too big a risk for AJ and he doesn't believe that fight will ever happen.

    Truth is E-Hearn could easily have made that fight for the March date but he chose the weakest of the three opponents. Big Bang might be old but unlike big punchers Helenius and Ngannou he's not a shell of himself or a crude slow very low output MMA fighter with one fight of boxing experience under his belt. He's a big highly skilled pro boxer with massive power and a lifetime of boxing experience who is still very formidable and not well past his best

    AJ has fought a lot of big punches amateur and pro though

    E-Hearn said Belly vs Ngannou was a joke fight and even after the fight he's on record saying this

    "It's very difficult because in my opinion, Francis Ngannou can get beaten by anybody in the top 100."

    Could've easily fought Big Bang, opted for the way easier to beat rank novice opponent in Ngannou.

    But Belly did the same too. There were many other HW actual pro boxers he could've fought.

    Usyk is fighting massive puncher after massive puncher. Most fans would probably consider Witherspoon the weakest puncher he's fought in his last 8 fights who whilst very late notice is way bigger than him and is actually a big puncher even against career HWs his size or close to his size.

    Mchunu would be considered the lightest puncher Usyk has fought at the world level and even he can punch a little bit when he wants too

    Not that I really support this fight, but that "0-1 novice boxer" might actually be the hardest puncher in the division.

    You do realize it was Anthony Joshua that offered Deontay Wilder a contract and not the other way around??? And Deontay famously "bet on himself".

    But cheerleaders gonna cheer...

    Wilder earned $4m purse for Fury 1

    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/box...der-purse-salaries/11trtkadf8aop1mgpamz0f1hfj

    Wilder earned $5m for Fury 2 (wound up being ~$25m a piece w PPV)

    https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/ne...ney-each-fighter-on-main-card-will-take-home/

    Wilder earned $20m before PPV for the 3rd fight

    https://sportsmanor.com/tyson-fury-...-40-ppv-split-in-the-favor-of-the-gypsy-king/

    AJ offered $100m+ for the Brezeale fight plus 2 fights w AJ in 2019

    https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/deontay-wilder-rejects-dazn-anthony-joshua/?zephr_sso_ott=ow6CD9

    BTW Wilder made almost $10m for the Brezeale fight

    https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/deontay-wilder-vs-dominic-breazeale-16167890

    So...Wilder lost out a bit by "betting on himself" but he still made a lot of money (and also got brutally stopped twice).

    And Deontay has again stepped up and will fight Zhang. Where are all the usual haters? Who else has stopped Ortiz twice?
