    lol look at him unloading his frustrations on an unassuming Wallin.

    This video cuts right where Eddie Hearn comes up and whispers in his ear "AJ, we have 6 more tune up fights planned for you in 2024. Is gonna be MASSIVE events"

    Wallin is anything but unassuming. He always act as tough guy, and refuse to shake hands, always talk as this or that guy avoids him.
    He refuse a handshake with Gassiev, who is one of the nicest guy, and Wallin acting like s**** at that time.

    And to be fair he spew the first blood, saying stuffs about AJ and then he was the first start talking at the face off. To be fair i don't like, neither do i buy to any of this antics. Not okay with "acting" tough in face offs, and completely off for any type of physical contact.
    But there was nothing out of normally in that face off.

    But people seems to catch for anything AJ do.
    It's gonna be fun the meltdown here when AJ bust Wallin to pieces.

    The same people who rinse AJ and say Wallin is a good fighter are the same ones who will give AJ zero credit when he goes through him and say Wallin was never that good

    I've said this about Wallin before - I think he's a skilled journeyman. Durable guy and he should have been awarded the TKO vs Fury.
    I expect AJ to KO him in a brutal fashion which is exactly my problem. AJ is supposed to be elite, yet he's on his what? 4th warm up fight? Bro...this is embarrassing. Everybody is curious what exactly he's warming up for

    I agree Wilder was the fight to make. Aside from Wilder who is there. Fury and Usyk who are fighting each other. Bear in mind Fury has went on a run of Whyte/Chisora/MMA debutant. As the lineal champ.

    AJ fought Usyk twice and lost. Didn’t hear AJ demanding a bigger piece of the pie in the negotiations either, all got done relatively simple.

    IMO the promoters have seen Saudi buckle and pay extra cash to Fury for the Usyk fight and AJ/Wilder handlers want the same now

    Josh is going to need to be careful in this fight vs Otto. Otto is no slouch, doesn’t have big power but with his southpaw stance and his angles, he very well could send AJ away with yet another big L. Destroying any chance of a Wilder showdown because honestly, anyone takin Joe Parker to beat Deontae? Answer is no

    Otto needs to give him another lesson, clearly the ones dished out by Usyk haven't penetrated yet.

    AJ is overconfident. Otto is a unit. Huge guy and has underrated boxing skills.

    AJ always trying to bully his opponents during face offs.

    This is literally a mandatory for AJ. Wilder fight is not on the line. Why are all people pointing fingers at AJ? What did Wilder do to make the fight? Did they search for venue? Did they find sponsors? Did they send an offer? And i'm talking a real one, not like the fake 50m. email offer from Wilder himself.
    Yes they should absolutely fight, but i don't see it happen even next.
    AJ - Wilder wasn't on the table, so AJ took Wallin, as a mandatory, nothing wrong with that. And nothing wrong for Wilder taking on Parker.
    AJ ain't champion any longer, why is all the crying that he should fight this or that guy. Where was that buz for Wilder, even when he was a Champion?

    AJ has fought the most legit competition when he was Champion, and i don't think there is any doubt to that. So any slating for AJ for fighting this or that guy, after 2 consecutive loses to Usyk is really nonsense.
    He could have had 5 warm up fights in my book, and that would be fine if he was feeling it. It's a different story and the standard would be different if he was holding a belt hostage, but that is not the case, never was.

    And people keep loving to forget that Helenius was late, late replacement cause Whyte failed drug test.
    Franklin is also solid operator with just 1 debatable lose, as in my eyes he won against Whyte.
    AJ also is the guy that legit fought the most durable opponents in his career. Unlike Wilder who feast on glass-jaw bums.

    Joshua looks like a Babymamma in court about to reem you for child support.

    Yes, he does it to weaker opponents. He thinks he is a superior being. Arrogance.

    LMAO c'mon man...
    AJ is not a champion. He has no "mandatories". But let's imagine he is - the number 1 ranked fighter by the IBF is Hrgovic.
    And Hrgovic will break his f***** teeth in.

    Wallin plays a tough guy and in the last 10 fights he has only two knockouts, Joshua desperately wants to look dangerous and when someone verbally retaliates, he looks like he's going to cry...
