There is absolutely no way AJ-Wilder is feasible now, who on Earth would pay for that nonsense. Not sure whether AJ-Dubois happens next, think AJ-Zhang makes more sense & give Dubois the Joyce rematch if he wins in July. Would rather see the Dubois fight for the full IBF title though.
Hearn will be livid that Wilder has declined so quick. He always fancied AJ to KO him and now, even if it does happen, he'll get no credit whatsoever for it
Surely all the people mugged off for years watching Joshua v very low risk opponents have woken up or are they too thick to be paying to watch Joshua mug them off again for 2-3 years? Cannot believe I am reading that he is still not willing to take risks fighting Dubois or Zhang when he is not exactly going up against a prime Lennox Lewis, Vitali Klitschko or Mike Tyson in their prime. Joshua was just above British Level winning vacant belts without dethroning anyone worthy of the World Heavyweight Champion name.
Oh I get it now, losers will always have excuses. He too young, he too old. Ain't he supposed to be prime at 29?
If you're above British level, you're definitely a world class. As America was the life of boxing before, so is GBR now. You get it?
AJ will be to quick for Zhang in my opinion and I see him stopping Zhang mid to late rounds. AJ vs Dubois - AJ will fight smart unlike Hrgovic, AJ will get behind the jab, and break Dubois down stop him to the mid - late rounds.
That would be some card! Chuck in Anderson v Wardley and it would quite easily wipe the floor with any card out there.
I see a rotten era until Usyk moved up becoming the only elite Heavyweight in this era of mediocrity.
Joshua will fight Zhang next. He was sitting inside and saw what we all did. He beat Zhang in the amateurs and he will beat him even more comfortably now. Would rather him fight Dubois but Zhang is the easier fight by far. Wilder is completely shot to pieces. I hope he retires now. He has given us some great knockouts, had a trilogy of exciting fights with Fury and he has a lovely family and millions of dollars to spend. Hang the gloves up champ. Would like to see Dubois rematch Joyce but that won't happen because I honestly believe that Chisora is going to KO him, so it wouldn't surprise me if we got Dubois vs Chisora
Hahaha.. you can try better. Everyone bull**** my generation, always claiming the ancient ones are better, but the reality doesn't seem to support that. Doesn't happen only in boxing, in all spheres of life but there is no empirical evidence to support that cos humans are clearly getting more advanced as the day goes by. There is no evidence the old guys clearly beat our guys, it's all emotions. The only thing we can admit is they are active and most of them ended on the wheel chair. This is sport, not war !
And that would be the end of Chisora (other than his supposed farewell fight in Zimbabwe) so no bad thing really. Over the next 12-18 months we'll see the back of Fury, Wilder, Usyk, Chisora, Whyte, Joyce, Zhang - none of them anything to complain about. We'll be left with AJ, Parker and assorted others just around his level until the likes of Itauma and Anderson come through. Maybe it's finally time for... adult Hughie!
I'd be happy with AJ fighting anyone of Parker, Kabayel, Zhang and Dubois. I think it will most likely be AJ vs Dubois.
