You meant to say "contact sport is a full war"? Someone whose entire family got cleaned out by a missile will have a different opinion buh you're entitled to your opinion . Let's just get entertained by the sport, argue, drink and laugh it all off.
Anthony Joshua has been protected for years and years and years and years and years and years and years an years. Hearn will do everything in his power to make the Parker fight next. Dubois and Zhang beat Joshua. I think Dubois should he get the fight will have MEAN intentions. AJ takes another loss it's back to square one.
Recent wins: Zhang: robbed vs Hrgovic, high flying Joyce as underdog, Joyce, finished Wilder Parker: underdog vs inactive Wilder, underdog vs high flying Zhang Dubois: Miller, underdog vs Hrgovic Joshua: Franklin, finished Helenius, Wallin, 0-1 MMA guy Looks to me that its Joshua that needs to beat at least 2 of the other 3 here as hes currently at the back of the pecking order
When AJ wins, everyone gets back to calling him his well known sparring partner. Some only judge by their emotions and will never change for years and years and years and years
It’s all set up to be Dubois at Wembley for AJ now surely. Warren hinted at exactly that a few times following last nights event
I can’t see Eubank fighting Sheeraz mate. Risk v Reward and all that… unless the Saudi’s put down big money for him to do so
Hope so. Sady, he fights at the type of pace Joshua can just about manage though so I think he’d stop him in about rounds 4-7. If Zhang survived that all that plodding pressure may start to tell.
Hope so. Reckon it,s a good fight. Zhangs cagey enough and has enough power to cause an upset even at 41. Will be dubois tho. Who still needs his dad to come down to shout encouragement to get him fighting. For the good of boxing. Zhang would be the better fight. Gives dubois another fight or two to come on first and doesnt completely age out zhang. Both zhang and dubois have massive flaws. Zhang,s stamina/footspeed and dubois lack of belief....poor defence etc. Good enough fights for joshua and good progression for his continued comeback. Very few out there for joshua to elevate himself much atm outside usyk and fury tbh. Ones 41 and the other has zero confidence. Its good enough for now tho.
War is a full contact sport. I'm quoting Noam Chomsky there Lecowas. Professor of Linguistics. From one of his recent talks on Geopolitics & world affairs.
I actually think Zhang is a harder fight than DDD. Big power in either hand, a really accurate sharp puncher. I think i'd favour AJ but it's by no means certain. DDD is a bit more athletic and seems to have done well VS Hgrovic (who I always thought was prone to switching off in fights anyway) but it might just be a bit too soon for him. Either are decent fights. Would Zhang bring more $$$ to the table? If AJ gets in with Zhang and wins the rebuild is complete and its time for AJ V Fury regardless of what Fury does with Usyk. (although a Fury win means a trilogy)
I'd be happy with September's Wembley headliner being Joshua vs Zhang, Parker, or Dubois. Tend to think Zhang is the least likely of the three - in the press conference after Saturday, Warren planted the idea of Zhang boxing in China soon. I can imagine the Saudis would be all over that - imagine a Riyadh Season sponsored event with something like Zhang vs Kabayel in Beijing or Shanghai.
