    Isn't every Wilder win against a Haymon guy?

    Okay. Wake me up when they announce Joshua-Povetkin.

    On second thought, I'd better set my alarm. Because it's not happening.

    Joshua vacates belt number-one in in FIVE ... FOUR ... THREE ... TWO ...

    The WBC do what they want, its as simple as that. Somebody high up there is clearly clearly taking payments from big time fight promoters, Canelo doesnt even have their belt but they are further up him than one of Oscars spoons. Al Haymon is clearly paying the WBC to steer their rankings in ways that suit Al and his plans for Wilder. I have not a single shred of proof ofcourse but seeing as these organisations have nobody to answer to they do what ever they like. Obviously they will try to paint it up by hiding thing and lying.

    Ive said it so many times now, Boxing is like the wild west, it is pretty much lawless and when you get nobody in charge making sure the best for Boxing is done and it is such a lucrative sport the criminals and the gangsters and the money muscle soon come out to suck it dry. This is by far the most corrupt sport in the world, it is happening infront of our very eyes and we can see it cuz we are always talking about it.

    Think he is basing it all on things Wilder said before Hearns sent an offer. Hard to judge how real anything Wilder said is though currently as he has gone silent and we never got the return offer from Wilders team that they said they was sending.

    It would be nice to get some definitive answers after they meet next week. Even if the news is 'no fight'. I find the politics of boxing tedious but unavoidable...

    Four.

    Arreola. Washington. Szpilka and Ortiz.

    But that's almost 40. (Patting you on the head.)

    LOL

    Whyte wasn’t with Matchroom at the time of their fight, I don’t think.

    Are you trying to tell us that guy's like Matthew Greer (Wilder's 27th) has any sort of relevance?

    Great. And what has Jarrell Miller done to warrant Joshua avoiding Povetkin and fighting Miller next ... other than Miller signing with Hearn?

    Hearn has been saying Miller is next after Parker since January. He said it again last week when he was asked about Povetkin being Joshua's mandatory.

    Joshua-Miller will be announced the moment Miller's hand is raised in about a week. And if Miller loses, they'll vacate because they don't want to go to purse bids with Povetkin.

    Hearn is already on record.

    I've got to go. I'll be back when there's something new to discuss.

    Peace.

    There's a lot wrong with the above post.

    Takam was a mando as Pulev - the IBF enforced mando - bitched out last minute and he was the IBF's next in line for the shot. His next fight was a unification against Parker. Unifications take precedent over mandos but considering Wilder has never unified and only made the same amount of mandatory defences as Joshua despite winning his title much later.

    Let that sink in - Joshua has made the same amount of mandatory defences as Wilder in considerably less time despite also unifying his first title with two of the other major orgs. He can double down on that by taking on Povetkin which he'll prob do.

    As a voluntary, it’s a good opening fight for Joshua in the States. I think the issue with Breazeale is how he’s managed to get into a mandatory position from the Molina fight.

    I think Povetkin will be next for Joshua, regardless of what’s been said about Miller in the past.
