Simply this is a disgrace from The Gypsy Ducker. Usyk v Fury for all 4 belts is the next fight all boxing fans wanted to see and Fury ducked the man making excuse after excuse. After Joshua's recent farcical opponent, lame performance and recently announced long absence, I have lost interest in both of them.
Fury fans have spent the last few years talking about how awful Ruiz is, so surely they won’t accept this.
Fury team think so, hence the multiple ducks. AJ protected? Beaten more top 10 opponent is than anyone else in the divison (Wlad, Povetkin, Parker, Ruiz, Whyte and Pulev).
Well Joyce has received a lot of credit for beating Parker, but Joshua did beat an unbeaten World Champion Parker who was a top 5 heavyweight at the time. Zhang is dangerous but only for a few rounds. He is turning 40 next month. Considering how much people criticise Joshua's win over Povetkin, it is baffling to see the praise Joyce is receiving for facing Zhang. Seems like a double standard.
If the Usyk fight is dead in the water until the Saudi's can build the venue and Joshua isn't available until December...... then why not.
2 time 2 tone tight pants looney tooney beat an inactive 41 year old Wlad - Joshua got dropped BADLY in that 6th round if I recall, can see the goofy face aj pulled when he fell. Joshua has 3 losses on his record )Ruiz, Usyk, Usyk) Tyson Fury has 0 losses, beat Klitschko in Germany and Wilder in America twice (Undefeated in America) You nervous for AJ? because the rumours are Wilder in Saudi.
team 258 will not allow josh anywhere near the top two until they are ready to cash him out. Their strategy has been clear on this. Is now the time? It's possible after his showing against that feather fisted fat little cabbie who lost to shot whyteleafe. The Wilder fight makes less sense for "brand chinny robot" than the Fury fight, since Wilder is almost guaranteed to put AJ to sleep in short order. Fury might at least toy with him for a few rounds before pulling the trigger. Team AJ clearly have zero confidence in their man at this point. When they picked on that obese little mexican middleweight it backfired big time. Then they picked on that feather fisted little cruiserweight who's best win is delboy chisora, another big backfire. Twice. They have run out of taxi drivers like Franklin, no one cares about the Whyteleafe fight since he went 1-1 with shot old Alec Povetkin and Fury put him to sleep with a grazing uppercut. They already DUCKED hrgovic and Zhang, ducking Joyce too goes without saying. Who can they possibly feed to AJ if they aren't ready to cash him out? Anyone in the top fifty will fancy a chance against that glass jaw and broken ticker.
On the other sidenif spin you can say AJ did what Fury couldn't and not only hurt Wlad but dropped him multiple times and stopped him. A Wlad that also came into the AJ in the best shape he had been in years. Tyson has zero official loses but should of lost to McDermott and had there been not so much money riding on the Wilder rematch he would of got stopped by Wallin. AJ beat undefeated champions Parker and Martin. I've been very keen for AJ to fight Wilder for years but unfortunately it hasn't happens as Wilder's team have had no faith in standing a chance in that fight (Hence the multiple ducks). Obviously if Wilder fights AJ (big if) and AJ beats him, he won't get the credit and people will just say Wilder was spent after Fury loses.
That is true, although I did have Joyce dropping a few more rounds than Joshua did. I personally backed Parker to beat Joyce and I was wrong. Joyce has been facing the best opposition out of all the heavyweights right now which shows had bad the division is right now. I think he'll KO Zhang and hopefully get a big fight in the summer. Dubois getting a World Title shot before Joyce sums up the current state of the sport.
Considering Joshua was busy just recently and Joyce is fighting in few days, Ruiz is a good option, he's top 5 guy and if he decides to prepare good for the fight, it could be a good one. Not that I see him winning, but it is what it is - the top guys must face each other.
That’s the problem with heavyweight. The depth is terrible! I don’t have much interest in it because of it. That blown up Cruiserweight top 5 says it all.
