    IBF will strip Usyk or Fury the moment their rematch is announced. Hrgovic is the IBF number 1 and Otto Wallin is number 2. There’s a strategy behind AJ going after Wallin and a consequential shot at the vacant strap. If he becomes a three time heavyweight champion, his cash out against Wilder or Fury and his legacy in general will be significantly higher.

    Joshua's still suffering from the bad concussion he got from making eye contact with Wilder.

    AJ probably wants to fight Wilder. Hearn and his team probably see it as an awful career ender if he gets splattered quickly which is the likely outcome

    Based on what? If the same Hrgovic comes in as the last few fights I see AJ winning a boring wide UD

    6-8 years. Always excuses. Always reasons. No happen yet. No happen ever.

    AJ is a pale version of his former self I agree. I am not convinced AJ has anything to fear from the current version of Hrgovic. He isn’t setting the world alight.

    This. Hrgovic has shown no ability to go through the gears and would be outboxed. AJ does everything better than Hrgovic.

    Aj needs to fight Wilder and forget the other nonsense

    Fight Wilder and if he wins? Fight Fury/usyk
    Why doesn't he want wilder?

    Just remember that you posted this, as i will remind it to you, when the times comes, and the times will come soon. It's going to be very soon, aka next year when AJ - Hrgovic will mostly happen(if everything goes alright, aka AJ beats Wallin).
    Pretty sure you going to call Hrgovic a bum after AJ obliterates him.

    Joshua beats Hrgovic, in my opinion. He is more experienced and seasoned. Hrgovic lacks experience, he was pathetic against Zhang.

    AJ battled Usyk twice, and he probably learned a lot during those fights.

    He was only pathetic because he wasn't in the best shape and he was stunned by Zhang's power, didn't expect the old codger to hit so hard
