    Decked him in the first 30 seconds and had Takam running all night.

    If he backpedaled any quicker he would have teleported back to Cameroon.

    Makhmudov vs AJ is better than Wilder vs AJ for me

    Helenius is finished. Looked slow and had nothing against a bartender.

    But wait! He's actually PERFECT for AJ...and Eddie H.

    For a last minute replacement it’s fine. According to Boxrec he’s a top-25 rated boxer, and had 2 good wins agains Kownacki. He’s got a more respectable record in terms of numbers than Chisora or Washington.

    And he got totally obliterated in the last fight that he had with a decent boxer. No, Chisora and Washington shouldn't get the fight either.

    Cancel the fight until someone with a least a 5% chance of making this competitive is ready.

    No way Makhmudov gets chosen because he has an excellent chance of stopping AJ in just a couple of rounds.

    Yeah - but do you actually think the aged 40 Takam was clean in that fight? A 30 year-old Takam couldn't give you eight rounds without gassing - and now a 40 year old Takam suddenly can?

    Remember that time Lennox Lewis had his opponent drop out and last minute he fought a carefully selected recently KOd in 1 Clifford Ettiene? Because he didn't, he took on the toughest challenger he could get on short notice, Vitali Klitchko

    This is my 'last straw', in regards to respect for Joshua.

    No way Hearn chances a fight against Mak. It will be some low tier bum to make Antony look good and feed his confidence.

    That would end AJs career.

    Do people not engage there brains on here ?

    As if they would take a Makhmudov fight on a weeks notice, particularly when no casual has ever ****ing heard of him and it has to sell on PPV.

    High risk zero reward whilst having huge Saudi money on the line at the back end of the year with the Wilder deal.

    Wake up.
