Should Joshua be calling out Fury?

  1. Yes, this is very clear thinking.

  2. No, I am sexually attracted to Deontay Wilder like that Sepiroth idiot.

    Fury holds no belt therefore he's not an immediate target.

    Haha I agree, it's just getting stupid now.

    It's so agenda driven that If AJ fought Wilder and won and then fought Fury and won.. he still would have ducked a Wilder rematch, Whyte, Ortiz, Miller and would then be ducking a Fury rematch.

    Believe it or not but the Wilder fight is probably the easier to make. Fury has said on multiple occasions that he's not interested in fighting Joshua, and his last demand wss for 60-40. Add in BT/Warren and it makes it even harder

    Way way easier to make. The tv politics alone make this fight a very distant proposition, if at all.

    The set up will be that AJ only takes on Fury's left overs.
    I'm good as long as the top guys are fighting each other, which does not seem to happen very often anymore.

    I only voted yes bc I don't believe we'll get a Wilder fight if Furys an option for Wilder.

    Wilder is scared of boxer / puncher and that's what he will run into against AJ.

    the way for Hearn to get that fight is freezing out Wilder the entire 2019, and corner him in 2020.

    Relax guys. I am a Joshua fan and do not believe that he is ducking anyone. My only "agenda" is that he and Fury, the #1 and #2 guys of this generation, fight each other for the sake of their legacies.

    Perhaps you did not read in the opening post where I said that I get it and find him "admirable?"

    Also, yes, they have been calling for joshua-Wilder for two years because...
    A) The fight seemed to make sense before Wilder embarrassed himself, and
    B) Fury had abandoned the division

    The point of the thread, the very thing that I am correctly pointing out, is that the fight makes no sense now that Wilder has been exposed as a stiff, creaky automaton who cannot knock out world-class fighters.

    Regardless of the Fury fight, Wilder is considered the more dangerous fighter and he brings the high probability of a knockout one way or the other and that's what people pay to see. Especially among the heavy weights. To a great deal or people Fury is just a loud mouth clown who escaped a knockout. He don't bring that fear factor to the table.

    If I were AJ ... I would be looking to have the Wilder fight first, for sure.

    There's a chance that Fury might beat AJ, and its a pretty decent chance as well.

    There's a minimal chance Wilder beats AJ.

    Finally, the payday for Wilder / AJ is going to be bigger and the fight sells itself. Two unbeaten sluggers with a ridiculous KO % going at it for the unification! USA vs UK! A chance for 'murica to claim back the crown of boxing!

    Trust me there's no way in hell AJ fights Fury before Wilder.

    In fact I suspect Wilder is gonna duck the Fury rematch to fight AJ because Fury has his number and he knows it. Wilder / Fury doesn't do the numbers Wilder / AJ does and if you're gonna cash out, may as well do it for the big bucks.

    For me personally, I want to see Joshua fight Wilder next. Joshua vs Fury will only prolong the most anticipated heavyweight clash of the current times and thats Wilder vs Joshua.

    In saying that, I do think the top two heavyweights right now is Joshua and Fury.

    Any boxer at or near top of the food chain should want to be the undisputed king of the castle, holding all the belts. So Wilder by fair or foul means still has the one elusive belt, so in ideal world Wilder should be AJs target.

    It is all about the belts, holders of the belts are indelibly imprinted in the annals of boxing history.

    No AJ would rather fight Whyte, that's why AJ didn't go to watch the Wilder Fury fight, AJ was quick enough to get into the ring after the Whyte Chisora fight and talk crap, i really cant see AJ fighting Wilder or Fury in 2019 .
