    So even you disagree with Lewis? Whether or not you think Joshua has ducked the entire time but is only now begging to fight because of a backlash you are saying Joshua wants the fight. So what the hell is Lewis on about?

    What I'm suggesting is that Joshua is merely paying lip service

    Lennox was never a AJ level money maker in the UK. You were likely still in kindergarten in the 90s and probably don't remember that.

    That's the point.

    That was when boxing was strictly about boxing, and not about who has the biggest bank accounts.

    When all is said and done, and we look back at a fighters career, we don't judge their bank balances, we judge their resumes.

    Lennox wasn't a huge star during his yearly belt holding period. Neither in his home country nor anywhere else. It wasn't until the Tyson and Holyfield fights which happened towards the end of Lennox' career he became a massive money maker. In the US Market; thanks to the drawing power of his US adversaries.

    AJ on the other hand is a massive draw in the UK right from the onset of his title reign. The polar opposite of Lennox. Hence the bitterness.

    You are saying Joshua is bluffing? And what are you saying about Deontay saying he wont fight Joshua and isnt interested in his belts? You saying thats a good thing?

    Yes that's what I said.

    When did Wilder say he is not interested in his belts?

    No I would not say that is good thing.

    I don't think Joshua is disappointed there will be a rematch between Wilder and Fury. Now where the hell is Fury on the rematch with Wilder!

    Wilder recently stated that AJ is desperate to fight him but he will now "leave him in the dark".

    Wilder has no intention unifying the divison and fighting AJ.

    If Wilder is able to beat Fury in the tematch he will continue to fught inactive out of sahoe fighters like he has been doing for several years now (most likely Breazeale).

    Different periods of time. A pointless comparison.

    When AJ's career is finished ask how many great names their are on his record compared to lewis'

    An easy question for you then. Which of Joshua's 22 fights so far should have been different?

    He shouldn't have been fighting Takum, or Povetkin.

    Those two fights should have been against Ortiz and Wilder.

    Mandatory defenses. Wilder could of jumped in ahead of Povetkin but he wouldnt sign the contract and before you argue that he either did or he didnt and he didnt. So he took on his mandatory Povetkin, another person Wilder wouldnt fight.

    I think he is wrong.

    Joshua vs Fury and Joshua vs Wilder would be bigger in the UK
    I agree on a Wilder vs Fury rematch but this should also take place in the UK
