I like AJ, but seriously. When is he going to get a decent opponent? Barry Hearn is having him beat up bum after bum. Want to see him challenged in a fight. This guy Cornish aint gonna do it.
Inoue is an 8 fight 2-weight world champion Tanaka is a 5 fight world champion Amnat is a 16 fight world champion with 4 defenses Jeez how about calm the ****ING HYPE and stop using the # of fights as evidence of people being harsh. He's done ****** all in the pros and yet people (Boxing Monthly for example) are proclaiming him as the 5th best in the division...
Don't forget about Lomachenko. BUT... Those guys are exceptions to the rule. Please get real. AJ is a PROSPECT. And he will be brought along slowly. It's a promoter's job to GENERATE THE HYPE of a prospect. THAT'S HOW THEY GROW THE VALUE OF THE PROSPECT IN ORDER TO MAKE TONS OF MONEY!! That's the way the game is played.
It's the fans job to see through the bull****, hype and media spin and call the promoter out on his bull. If the promoter wants to hype him as the best thing since sliced bread then he BETTER be that ****ing good or I'll state the promoter is talking **** and that I'm still waiting for him to fight someone who hits him back. The promoters task, and the media's task doesn't betray the fact I have eyes and I've yet to see him prove anything more than that he's beaten old, out of shape opponents coming for a retirement cheque. The fact the media and fans are swallowing the promoters **** is really sickening and we need to point out he's yet to be hit back, he's yet to fight a guy who wasn't shot, and he's yet to fight a guy trying to win. Reminds me a lot of David Price...
Give Joshua time, He's still wet behind the ears in boxing experience. If you rush a fighter too fast & he gets beaten bad. Same thing with Wilder. I really thought Stiverne was going to test him but he was like a damp squib The one that should be tested is Fury How long has he been around running his mouth?? He hasn't fought anyone yet In fact Ive never actuallty seen him fight. Like my good friend Curtis Cokes said ,of Ike Ibeabuchi who was beating up everyone, wait till someone puts one on the button see how he takes it. Well a guy named Greg Pickrom landed a bomb on Ike chin Ike shuddered like a big oak tree & a snarl came on his face . He marched foreward & blasted out Greg. Curtis turned & said "We got us a champion" Sadly that never came to pass thanks to a Vegas hooker.
Fury hasn't gotten the win over a Top 5 guy that is usually necessary to be a mandatory. But he's beaten some respectable opponents like Cunningham, Hammer, and Chisora. Joshua is coming up so fast that he'll probably be fighting better guys than Fury's ever fought within a year. Fury v Joshua is a good potential match-up for the future, and 50/50 in my mind. Joshua has the attributes to blow Fury out but Fury could be too big, too awkward and too determined for the inexperienced AJ.
