I like Anthony Joshua I like all Heavyweights Chisora , Konowacki, Ortiz ,Whyte,Povetkin, Fury, usyk,wilder or miller you name em I like em all my Favorite heavyweight is Anthony Joshua but Latley I been seeing how much time has passed since we thought we were close to having an undisputed champion. Like I said I'm a big AJ fanboy but I'm a boxing fan first . This isn't a prediction , but I'm hoping Ruiz stops AJ again . Why ? Because that's what's best for boxing. I have always agreed that wilder was delusional asking for 60/40 and that he was always over pricing himself. I always agreed to that . And I always felt AJ was in the right. However enough of politics and A side and B side Ruiz stopping AJ would make politics not be a problem for us to having an undisputed clash between two heavyweight champs since the time of lewis and holyfield . It's been 20 years since us as boxing fans have had a boxing undisputed clash that we deserve . So like I said even tho AJ is my favorite heavyweight. And I agree that wilder is Delusional. I think that Ruiz stopping AJ will eliminate boxing politics into setting up a heavyweight clash with wilder Wilder vs Ruiz would be set up and mandatories would be placed on hold We would finally have an undisputed champ This is the best for boxing right now . This is not a prediction thread , just a thought.
This. These days I don’t see anybody staying undisputed for very long, since those sanctioning fees really add up when you have 4 to 5 belts. Even Mayweather decided to drop the WBO title after beating PAC because he didn’t want to pay an additional $200,000 sanctioning fee. I remember Indongo mentioning after the Burns fight that the sanctioning fees ate up most of his cut of the purse. In the Crawford fight 12% ($100,000) of Indongo’s fight purse went to sanctioning fees. Without a giant promotional machine behind you like Wlad had or Joshua has, etc... staying undisputed for a prolonged period of time is too expensive.
It's no secret I'm a Wilder fan but I don't honestly have any issues with Joshua himself (his promoter is different subject) It'll be a shame for boxing if we never get to see Wilder vs Joshua. I actually think both fighters want the fight but promoters get in the way. We saw in the Ruiz fight I think the reason why top fighters should be fighting the best more often than not. I think Joshua hadn't had a real test since Klitschko and he fell into lazy ways.
