    A bit busy then is he...

    Too busy to be bothered to fight because he needs a break, do me a ****ing favour mate.
    He needs to be in the gym asap, forget the beaches and lounging around, he needs to be serious if he wants folk to take him serious again, not some folk filling his head with crap or checking on his latest app and panicking because his heart rate is just above normal!!

    AJ was scared of taking a whack off Ruiz in their second fight, if he fought Wilder he’d probably run back to the changing rooms during the ring walk.

    This is the Wilder whose team have such little confidence in Wilder winning that potential fight that they have ducked mutiple offers over double his career purse? They avoided AJ like the plague.

    And they same Wilder that dropped half grazing weak body shot of Fury? Dropped by journeyman Scroniers and Nicholls. Who had his face busted by Duhaupas and went on shaky legs by Molina and Ortiz?

    Wow ! Hats off to Tyson Fury - great performance. So pleased AJ didn’t accept 50 million to get robbed by us judges !

    This isn't real apparently. Even when Eddie himself said it was all genuine and it's up to AJs teams to accept it or counter. They countered then chose to face Povetkin.

    Massive duck, ran from Showtime to DAZN to make things even more difficult.

    Suppose Bazza is just making it up though.

    They literally had zero interest in making the Wilder fight at that time.

    Don’t let facts get in the way of a narrative.

    After he beat Parker, AJ was in the ring saying he wouldn’t fight Wilder in America as it was unfair that people had to go and spend a load of money to get there. Less than a year later he announced he was fighting Jarrell Miller in... America.

    Turned down a £50m offer to fight Wilder in America and made a counter-offer for the fight to be at Wembley, Wilder to earn less money and a one way rematch clause in Joshua’s favour. Only an absolute imbecile can translate that as Wilder ducking Joshua.

    I think that fight might be more dangerous than you think.

    A defeat to Wallin, a tricky opponent, would probably finish the career of Anthony Joshua, I would steer clear of him, aren't they ex sparring partners too?

    Surely he needs a live opponent who will give him rounds,not a tin can knockover

    Joshua has made a career out of ducking live opponents feasting on old men or complete puddings but this would be some statement should he not face an up and coming contender unlikely to ever be World Champion.

    Knowing how Earn works, I expect we will end up with Pudding Whyte 2 for the Lineal Matchroom Heavyweight Pudding Title.

    Joshua will go into the later rounds with anyone now. He’s too timid to get close enough to anyone for an early knockout.
