Rule Britannia: Jorge Linares vs. Kevin Mitchell & Evgeny Gradovich vs. Lee Selby RBR

This is what Golovkin will be signing on for if he goes to the U.K. for a Froch fight.

 

I don't think any big name who's not on his way to retiring would fight Joshua at this point. He will need a mando status like Wilder had vs Stiverne for a truly big fight. Perhaps it may be someone like Chisora or Tony Thompson if they plan to retire while looking to make a quick buck on the way out.

 

Well name me some, you are hammering him after he just stopped Kevin Johnson in his 13th professional fight.

It's all very good calling him a can crusher, Its your opinion and you are entitled to it but I am asking you after 13 fight who should he be fighting?

 

I don't doubt that. Even if he won, he would have still lost on the cards. At least don't rob the man his chance to do his best work.

He better not slip on a wet spot, cause they could stop the fight right there.

 

It's perfectly reasonable that he's fighting tomato cans at this point in his career.

I just don't think it's reasonable to act like he's the future HW champ because he's beating them.

We have no idea whether he's good or not. He very well could be. Or he could be another David Price.

 

Andy are you stepping up to the plate? You think you could go 12 rds with A.J?

Kingpin had never been stopped good win for aj

 

He was one of the most obnoxious Haye supporters during the Wlad fight build up and that is saying something. Also welched on a bunch of ban bets if I recall.

 

In Wilders 13th fight he was fighting Dustin Nichols who was 4-2 and was knocked out in his first 2 pro fights.

 

Wlads 13th fight was against Marcos Gonzalez, heard of him Andy?

His record was 18-11-1, maybe that has put AJ's win into some sort of perspective for you.

 

agreed.
half the people are too hard on this guy....
the other half is hyping him up as the second coming

the win over kingpin was impressive, but the guy is 35 years old, and coming off 3 straight losses and 4 out of his last 5.

he should fight a chagaev next....

 

based on what again? giving a guy his 5th loss in 6 fights?
you morons are gonna get people to hate AJ for no reason

 

thats right....just a wlad hater

 

1.5 years into Wlad's career:
Wlad has 19 wins, 0 losses.
Last fight: Cody Koch with a record of 25:1

1.5 years into AJ's career:
AJ has 13 wins, 0 losses.
Last fight: Kevin Johnson with a record of 29:6, lost 4 of his last 5 fights.

You can spin it a lot of different ways.

The bottom line is we still know what AJ is like yet.

(Note: I'm not saying this proves Wlad is better or AJ sucks, I'm just trying to say we don't know yet. )

 

I had it close, the knockdown for Mitchell was the difference on my card.

The judge that had Mitchell 6 points up needs help

 

Wlad will be Joshuas Trevor Berbick
