Anthony Joshua negotiating two-fight Riyadh deal, possible opponents Anderson & Whyte

Of all the name people he's fought who he could rematch, Whyte is near the bottom of the list. (Their first fight was a full 10 years ago.)

Of all the name people he hasn't fought who he could fight for the first time, Anderson is near the bottom of the list, too.

 

‘Still learning on the job!’

 

The best resume!

Whyte & Anderson will magically become #10 in Ring ratings before the fight, just like OTTO WALLIN did.

 

And they'll use these fabricated rankings to try and claim joshua beat "the best available"

 

Wallin entered the top 10 of the Ring Magazine rankings after beating Murat Gassiev as an underdog and an away fighter. Before the fight was confirmed a lot of people said Wallin was slick and would cause Joshua trouble as a southpaw. After Joshua destroyed Wallin people forgot what they said and claimed it was always going to be an easy win.

 

Gassiev beat no one at heavyweight. Yet again more fabricated rankings being pushed. Wallin just got dominated by an old ass Chisora, he doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the top 10

 

Did you read what I said? I said Wallin was the underdog against Gassiev and most people thought Gassiev would win. After getting pummeled by Joshua, Wallin only fought 1 round in 1 year plus and got the Chisora fight on notice shorter than he would have liked because Jarrell Miller was the 1st-choice opponent.

 

None of this should get Otto Wallin in the conversation, because there is no good prerequisite Gassiev didn't beat anyone of note at heavyweight. Chisora is 41 and physically on his last legs. We always knew Dereks level, Wallin is just no good

Otto Wallin was never a top 10 HW in the world, there were always a dozen better heavyweights at any point in time

 

It seems that after the prank that Fury played on them by retiring for a short while, they have completely lost their idea for AJ's future career. It's hard to be surprised. After the defeat by Dubois in such a style, a fight with Fury would be a salvation for Joshua. If he lost, no one would have complained and if it wasn't in a terrible style, he wouldn't have lost much. If he won, he would return to the game for the highest stakes. And of course, everything is topped with a HUGE payday.

The problem with fights with boxers like Anderson or Whyte is that the balance of profits and losses is simply poor. If he beats them, he gains very little because both are verified at a certain level. It won't bring him glory. However, if he screwed up, which is possible if things are bad with him after this defeat by Dubois, he loses everything and falls to the very bottom. And despite the fact that Joshua is a better boxer than both of them and has better conditions, you have to give them credit for the fact that they can apply enough force to be able to reverse the course of such a fight even after one mistake.

Overall, it sucks. It would be good if Joshua came back to his high level because the fight with Dubois didn't work out for him at all and somewhat blurred the image of what a solid boxer he is, but in boxing, after such adventures, boxers often don't find their former glory.

 

People claimed?

Yet another account created this month. You weren't here when that fight occurred and cannot know what people claimed, unless you made a new account and have read old posts for three weeks straight.

Why would someone make a new account? Very curious.

Otto Wallin sucks and was never top 10. It couldn't be more obvious.

 

I was speaking objectively about what people were saying about Wallin vs Gassiev. Who said that has to be on this website????

Anyhow, I see you have started a lot of threads about Joshua for obvious reasons so I won’t reply to you. I clearly explained why Wallin was a decent win if you bothered to read my message!

 

Imagine being such a big time fan of a mediocre fighter you make multiple accounts to defend him. Sad!

 

You said yourself Wallin could beat Joshua LOL!!!

 

Tbf he said he COULD win, not WILL.

Not sure why you're making alts tbh. Man up and say it from your main.

 

The Fury fight is the one he should go for, that's it. Wilder I guess but putting it nicely the shine is gone for that fight, so much so that it's matte at this point.

Maybe Chisora but my God the embarrassment in losing to Chisora for Joshua may be too much. Getting beat by the young brit and the old one in back to back fights.

Hes had two fights with Usyk so as long as Usyk has the title it's going to be hard to justify giving him another shot at it.

Who cares about Whyte at this point. Anderson is a basket case.

What about Delicious Orie ? He said he retired but offer him a payday and Joshua an easy win.
