    According to this Usyk is lucky to win 1 or 2 fights in his entire career and should have been KOed multiple times already.

    Hearn:

    “Joshua doesn’t want to vacate the belts. He loves them. We need to have a conversation of common sense between the governing bodies. We’ve written to to the IBF and WBO. Who goes first? You can’t just hold Anthony to ransom and say you have to vacate one. There is a rotational system that chronologically tells you who goes first. It’s the IBF. But I also represent Usyk, so I have to push for him as well. It’s a bit of a messy situation, but Joshua will defend his titles against whoever he has to. But he really wants the undisputed fight, so we’ll so what happens on Feb. 22 between Wilder and Fury.”

    Joshua should fight more often, THREE not two times a year. He should be taking out Pulev (relatively easy fight) in early March, then the more difficult Usyk in mid-summer, then someone else in late November or early December 2020.

    Judging from how the bodybuilder struggled to get past the 20 stone blob. No contender now is a easy challenge for him. Pulev might KO him with one of his puny jabs! lol

    Exactly.

    He also went to the U.S. to fight Miller, and insisted on a rematch clause with Ruiz.

    IBF have already cut him a lot of slack.

    Got to say this,but how much slack does Wilder & Fury get? AJ is out v these guys till 2022.
    This I think is very wrong we need them to fight & see who is best.

    Let's fight Usyk and end this hype charade once and for all.

    Pulve shouldn't even be ranked

    It'll be Pulev for sure, and it's about time Pulev gets erased from anyone's top 10 list, his time is over and nobody wants him to sit on his mandatory chair for years waiting for a shot. Against Joshua I don't see Pulev offering anything better than Klitschko did and Joshua has improved a lot ever since. It'll be a KO inside 7 for Joshua.

    Usyk in my eyes should opt for more fights in heavyweight division before the Joshua fight, because if he's as good as many think, at one point sooner or later he will face Joshua anyway.

    (post shi ttum: As I expect the fight to take place in the UK, Joshua's next fight may well be in the USA again, where for some reasons I expect him to take on Ortiz, don't ask me why, I just have that weird feeling.)

    Smart move if he doesn't want to get relieved of his belt a second year in a row is to unify with Pulev. Joshua by wide boring UD or late stoppage.
