I was wondering wt..f Quasimodo? He means Nostradamus but then if Bobby Baccaleri says it was Quasi then its good with me. For me I'd like to see the Zhang fight I think the Saudis will want to pull those China viewers in and I think its very winnable for AJ. I don't think AJ will want the Ngannou fight I think he'd prefer to laugh at Fury for fighting Ngannou and take the higher ground.
I think Joshua will knock Zhang out late in the fight but early rounds will be absolutely critical. I think Zhang will manage to hurt Joshua at least but Joshua's offense when he is in the right mental state should overpower Zhang still IMO. I see Joshua beating Hrgovic via a similiar way of how he outpointed Parker in that horrifically boring fight.
Ngannou is contractually obligated to a rematch with Firy. So Ngannou is not fighting AJ or anyone not named Fury. Hrgovic fight could happen if vacant IBF title is up for grabs. Big Bang KOs AJ so this fight is unlikely. Therefore, most likely scenerio is: Wilder fight or Parker rematch
Why is it that they dumped the Wilder fight so quickly though? I wonder if Joshie's fans can answer that. Wilder lost on points to Parker. Why is he suddenly a nobody? Parker got KO'd by Joyce recently and apparently people think he's still a good opponent. Zhang got beaten just before he got the Joyce fights. And the mma fighter lost on points to Fury and even he's in the mix. Let's also remember Pac was KO'd by Marquez and they still made the mayweather fight. Why can't AJ still fight Wilder? Are people saying that's still not a bigger 'money fight' than the others? I doubt it isn't still the biggest. Are Hearn and Joshie actually still scared of a 38-year-old Wilder who just Parker beat? I think the answer must be yes.
Wow! I’d love to see any of those fights. I guess that means it will be none of them. He should fight Ngannou. Best risk / reward.
I am most interested in Joshua vs Zhang. But I never trust anything Hearn says much. The fight being in March, a IBF title shot against Hrgovic is very likely to happen.
I’m hoping for zhang, doubt it will be hrgy bear. when AJ fought helenius the 2nd choice was kabayal, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s him
Because contractually that fight was contingent on Wilder winning against Parker. This is why they dumped the fight. Simple as.
“PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEASE JOSHUA, GIVE DEONTAY ANOTHER CHANCE!” Saved you lots of typing for next time.
Because they dont want the fight. Too much risk too little reward now. I would still say the publics interest is very high, it doesnt need more marinating
