    If Fury is (unfortunately) tied up with Wilder, there is no better person for Joshua to fight than Usyk. (the former undisputed CW champion, and his mandatory). I would most assuredly call this a duck if he didn't. It can't be perceived any other way. There's literally no one else there.

    I judge the fighters based on accomplishment and resume. To me, Joshua has been #1 for a while now.

    I understand why people say that. But, honestly, Joshua needs to face a top opponent. He really hasn't done that since 2018.

    We're halfway thru with 2021.

    Face ? You mean beat a top opponent? Lol i see you're creating a narrative to make Wilders abysmal resume look good. His only good win is Luis Ortiz, remember that

    Joshua beat Pulev last year, who is better than ANYONE Wilder has beaten.

    You aren't listening. You just want to argue. Since 2019, Wilder will have fought Tyson Fury twice and Luis Ortiz once.

    Even at this point, fighting Tyson Fury twice and Luis Ortiz once would be the biggest fights Joshua has had in years.

    Since 2019, Joshua will have fought Andy Ruiz twice and Kubrat Pulev. That's not remotely the same.

    Joshua needs to fight better opponents.

    It's been a while. 2021 is halfway over.

    If your saying Ruiz (I'd argue Pupev as well) isn't a top opponent you can't say Wilder is and in that case Fury hasn't fought a top opponent since 2015.

    Luis Ortiz? Pulev, Ruiz and Povetkin all have better resumes than Ortiz (and Wilder too).

    What's so great about Ruiz and his resume, outside of Joshua being KTFO by him ?

    The AJ win to become unified champion far better than anything Wilder and Ortiz has done.

    yay another post claiming AJ is ducking Usyk. Shut up and wait for the fight to be signed. It will happen.

    2018 was a long time ago. Joshua needs to step it up.

    Ducking Usyk or dropping a belt at this point isn't going to help. Joshua needs to sign this fight. With or without Hearn.

    So, in effect, you give AJ extra credit for losing to Ruiz before beating him ?
