    Yeah, good post. I agree with most of this.
    AJ (Hearn) if they were 100% serious about this fight were obviously banking on getting rid of the old man in the early rounds, because I can't see how AJ can be expected to do much against Klitschko in a longer fight.

    Even if Wladimir's ONLY reason for taking Browne instead was because it's an easier fight, it's not an outright duck at all.
    He's a 40-year-old guy without a title, coming off a loss and 12 months inactivity, I'm not sure how he can be accused of ducking anyone. Especially since he's spent the whole year trying to get the guy who just defeated him in the ring!

    We as fans shouldn't be looking at this from a business perspective. Prestige is handed out to those are willing to make the best match-ups. Wlads interests isn't in our interests as he only wants the easiest route possible . He isn't a fighting man and doesn't care what you and I want , you why should you care whats best for him?

    Wlad not being prepared mentally for a 17 fight novice who he supposedly handled in sparring is some straight up pussay chit and should not be excused or commended.
    Joshua isn't ready for Wlad , but he is 100% willing to go in there anyway. Thats what you want to see from the sport. Its pointless hoping things come to fruition in the future cos they rarely do.

    Its a duck if you're willing to fight for one belt but not another one. 100% duck. . The dictionary definition of a duck. Dr.Duck.

    So, if he fights Joshua he's ducking Browne ?

    Did Andre Ward duck Jurgen Brahmer when he signed to fight Kovalev?

    No.
    I don't think Ward's in a position to duck anyone.
    But under your definition, I don't know.

    You say a duck's when a fighter choosing to fight for one belt over another, so ....
    If Wlad fights AJ instead of Browne, then he's ducking Browne, right?

    Its a duck when you chose the belt that has a bum attached to it. Quit the trolling.

    Joshua's belt is the ultimate bum league belt, this year at least.
    Charles Martin (CHAMPION). Dominic Breazeale (CHALLENGER).
    Joshua's never faced a real fighter, a joke.

    Bum City.

    Wladmir spent all year trying to fight TYSON FURY for the WBA belt.
    That was the real deal, the real champion.
    Fury relinquished the WBA.

    Now it's a choice of bum cities.

    Oh, Wilder is bum city too.

    Parker-Ruiz is not much better.

    Don't matter. AJ is the fight to make . Browne isn't. Whyte would bowel Browne over easily. Browne is not even Hughie Fury level.
    Its a sham of a fight. Worse than AJ v Martin.

    Laughable to say this when Hearn is trying to schedule Molina or Pulev you know who Wlad already destroyed 2 years ago.

    The Wlad defence force is a joke.

    It's a duck as Browne is the easier fight. Forget the titles , look at the opponents. Fighting Browne after agreeing terms to face Joshua is a blatant duck. There is no argument that he has chosen a more difficult opponent as that's clearly not the case.

    Who cares if its the WBA or IBF title. Which fight has more credibility, which win would look better on the CV?

    Wlad doesn't want to run the risk of losing 2 in a row and that's why his looking at another route than Joshua.

    Not at the expense of the Vlad fight though. They want the Vladimir fight but are being forced into looking at another option because after agreeing terms team Vlad decided to go behind there back and negotiate another fight.

    Joshua will take the fight as soon as Vlad say's yes but he wont as his ducking.

    And the only reason Hearn is looking for another fight for Joshua is because Wlad didn't want it. Surely you cannot be this stupid.
