Daily Mail News: Eric Molina in talks for a fight with Anthony Joshua on Dec 10!

Crap fight.

 

True enough, but you can't blame them really. Both know he will get savagely knocked out again sometime very soon, so trying to engineer a big payday while it's still possible to remain relevant, makes sense. Boxing is Price's source of income. The next time he's put to sleep, there is no way back to the big fights, so they are trying to make sure he can secure one last chance to earn some decent money. And, of course, Coldwell is on a percentage of that.

 

Disappointing considering who they wanted to line up against Joshua. Stiverne, Pulev, Parker, H.Fury and Wlad have all been names linked to Joshua's next fight but they all either found easier routes to a title, were injured or priced themselves out of contention.

Can't really sugar coat this if it happens, it's a crap fight. When you consider the payday Joshua represents for an opponent and the title he holds you'd expect a better opponent even at this late stage could be found.

 

Let's have it right, this is a better fight than David Price.

Wlad is pursuing the WBA belt
Povetkin the WBC belt
Wilder is out of action
Parker the WBO belt.

But that leaves the following are more credible opposition: Ortiz and Pulev.

I heard Takam and Duahapas are facing each other so they're out.

I'm sure Ortiz and Pulev would jump at the fight, not sure why he's opting for Molina .

It's a strange choice.

 

Pulev wants nothing to do with Joshua. Ortiz is a high risk/low reward fight right now, Hearn will want to build up Ortiz's profile (and probably let him get a bit older) before and if they make that fight. With Fury out the picture Ortiz is the biggest threat to Joshua there is.

 

How do you know Pulev wants nothing to do with Joshua?

Ortiz is a huge threat which is why it looks like he's being ducked to face Molina instead.

 

Ducked? I wasn't aware he'd called Joshua out.

Pulev turned down the fight.

 

What an absolute coddled farce Joshua is.

 

It's awful.

 

Do you have a source for Pulev turning the fight down?

Good point actually, maybe it isn't a duck then. But why aren't they pursuing an Ortiz fight which is clearly better than a Molina fight?

 

Just tell me where to send my money! Team AJ all the way babi! YOU KNOW

 

eric molina?!

LOL

 

Joshua will do what Wilder failed to do and stop Molina inside 3 rounds.

 

So much hate for Joshua.

Who do you expect him to fight then?

He's the money man in the division and no one want it apart from Molina and Price.

It ain't Joshua's fault the heavy weight talent pool is garbage.
