    I don't think this fight would happen.

    Can AJ possibly get himself down to CW?

    The 70s without a doubt.

    Can you see this angle?

    "He does not deserve to be rated as a top ten contender"

    Because that is what Perry has said.

    70s, 90s and this era has potential with some of the players involved.

    If only Fury would get his ass into shape. He'd be my pick over all of them.

    Not a fan of 'The Gypsy King' then?

    Not really, I'm not a fan of people that p*ss away their talent but don't take responsibility for it.I'm not an admirer of the Fury's full stop, though I was rooting for Tyson v Wlad.The latest debacle involving Hughie Fury has just about extinguished any further interest I might have retained in them.

    Yeh, its left a sour taste.

    But I believe theres more to the whole situation than meets the eye.

    Saunders is another one.

    I think Furys been running his mouth at the wrong people, so they had a quiet word with him.

    I would agree about BJS, he's challenging King Kong, but fighting journeymen .
    Hughie Fury does not even have a current B B B O C licence, he is in the process of applying for a renewal,subject to medical reports that may be problematic to say the least.Don't you find that strange, considering the fight was only a week or so away? Its been predicted for over two weeks that the fight would not happen. I find talk of a mysterious back injury highly dubious.

    Well either theres something wrong with gypsy fighters or these three are involved in something sinister.

    Neither of them have fought ever since Fury started running his mouth. Well BJS had that fight....in the leisure centre.

    And all three were amazing talents.

    You can add Eubank to that list as well.

    Whyte is currently ranked number 9 in the Ring magazine.
    To say as you did that Joshua does not deserve to be a top ten ranked contender is ,in my view absurd. If it were not Saturdays fight between him and Wlad would not be universally recognized as a pick em fight!

    What they are involved in is living the good life. Saunders and Eubank don't want to know real opposition. I'm still trying to ascertain how Hughie Fury got to be fighting for a version of a world title.Then again when you look who has replaced him in the Parker fight, a guy the WBO ranks number 15 in the world, perhaps looking for logic is a waste of time.

    No, I can't see that particular angle - Even if one goes by a process of elimination alone, i.e. who else is out there that deserves to be rated above Joshua? It's hard not have him up there.

    My viewpoint is specifically aimed at Joshua being a tad too green, at this stage, regardless of the number of fights he's had (and, I suppose I would have to say now, no matter his ranking.)

    I can accept and agree with this,a couple of distance fights would have been beneficial imo .
    Wlad looks intense here.
