    Poor AJ, having to take dangerous fights against top tier opponents like *checks notes* Pulev and Parker.

    Just leave the man alone!

    It's the biggest negative to having a undisputed champion or one who even hold 3 belts. Lewis had the same issue when they tried to make him fight.

    If you remember Lewis had the same issue with when he was stripped for not fighting Ruiz instead he fought Grant and then lost another title for the not fighting Byrd.

    Holding one title and having to fulfill mandatory defences is one thing but when you have 3 or 4 to fill inevitably a bugger money fight is made to be the one that misses out.

    Nothing wrong, the same AJ had Usyk as mandatory long ago and also this Pulev.
    If you are well known looks that this is easy and he had Pulev.
    Now most likely at least 12 months after this fight IBF will not trouble him about belt. Looks that for HW they does have 12? months limit to defend their belt in next fight?

    Usyk is far better.

    Joshua starches Usyk in a about 3 rounds. Come on let’s be real. At this point I’m actually agreeing with him. **** it all off and just fight whoever you want while Wilder and Fury pull each other off for the 56’th time. Seriously what’s the point.

    Smart move by Hearn is to let AJ vacate the WBO, let Usyk win it against somebody else and then *boom* you can sell AJ vs. Usyk as a unification and make an uninteresting fight have stakes that make it interesting.

    What kind of big-money fights AJ is missing out on because of mandatories, somebody’s going to have to show me the math on that.

    Usyk is better than AJ`s first 13 opponents.

    Fury and AJ should dump their belts and just fight for the ring belt. They should publicly discredit the belts they are disregarding and say they recognise the ring belt as the true title. No other heavyweight champion would be taken seriously after that.

    the guys he knocked out in like a round? You’d hope so wouldn’t you. Don’t get me wrong I like to **** on Joshua as much as the next guy.

    Hahahah that’s actually debatable. Charles Martin was actually a champion. Usyk’s had 2 fights at HW. And he’s looked like **** in both.

    A.J had worked 9 rounds to stop 39 y.o Pulev while for 33 y.o then undefeated Pulev then 38 y.o Witali needed 5 rounds to finish him.
    Pulev looked far worse than Takam and still.
    A.J needed 10 rounds to stop__________________Takam.

    Now he will easily KO Usyk in 3 rounds?

    If he had at least finished Takam in 3 rounds, I had believed. Btw Povetkin already had finished Takam with heavy beatup in the same 10 rounds years ago before A.J had the same Takam in the ring.
    A.J needed 10 rounds to finish shot Takam.
