Anthony Joshua, like Dillian Whyte, prefers to fight old faded opponents

    Fury goes for the young fresh blood & everyone tries to shoot him down for it.

    Wallin fought a great fight, had good feet for a big man. Fients, Body and head. Tough. Everything.

    If thats the mando then he has to fight him, just like Wlad had to fight Leapai and a past it Tony Thompson twice.

    I would like to see Wallin vs Babic. See If he can keep the brawler at bay.

    Wallin would easily beat Babic.

    Wlad also fought the best prime heavyweights in his time, like Ibragimov, Chagaev and Haye.

    Why is Joshua so reluctant to take care of his prime mandatory Usyk and to fight prime Tyson Fury?

    Cashua will fight Fury and drop the wbo for Usyk and Joyce to face off for.

    I'd favour him but it wouldn't be easy to control the distance. I can't recall how good Wallin's footwork and jab is but he'd need that and be able to hold and lean on Babic.

    If Tyson Fury manages to defeat Anthony Joshua in 2021. Fury won’t just be a future HOF, Fury will enter the ATG discussions.

    Both Wlad & AJ have been unified champs leading into the Fury bouts. Fury also ended Wilder's reign as WBC champ.

    But I think Joshua will avoid Fury, at least until he fades with age. Joshua is a few years younger.

    King Kong Ortiz gets crap over his age, but Pulev looked a good 5-10 years his senior on the weekend I thought. He looked like someone around the 50 mark.

    Pulev definitely had some late career Hopkins vibes going for him on Saturday haha.

    Seems odd to mention Haye but not Povetkin or Byrd, who I think were much better at HW. All the same, Wlad proved time and time again he was the best.
