Joshua vs Wilder is nothing to do with belts, its all about money. Joshua will milk the stadium fights then fight Wilder.
It shouldnt be in Hearns / Joshuas hands...he should have to fight Wilder...simple as that.

2-3 years back Ortiz was certainly somebody hyped as this dangerous opponent but then you look at who he fought and more specifically how well he's done in his recent fights and it's hard to justify. Like Whyte he laboured to a win over Allen and he was truly dreadful vs Scott.Wilder fought ortiz a man that all the big heavyweights avoided so.....
Yeah that's ridiculous. I remember watching that fight and just yawning the whole way through as he danced around him doing nothing in particular. I did win some money on it though, so that at least gave it some kind of edge for me. Everyone in the sporting world at least, seems to have forgotten just how bad a fight that was.I see Fury is calling out Joshua for a boring fight. Ironic coming from a guy who participated in arguably the most boring fight in the history of boxing against Klitschko.
Can't stand Fury
AJ is overrated, He will gas and get taken apart by Parker. AJ only just manage to beat a very over the hill Vlad and even then he was gassed and Vlad should have finished the job but held back ( I wonder why?)
AJ looked gassed in the public workout never mind a fight.
Hope bellew knocks haye out the ring cant stand haye
The problem comes when two different organisations call their mandatory's at the same time, that's when he'll either have to vacate one of the belts or make a deal with one of them to fight at a later date. Given how much money Joshua fights generate it does make things a little easier for him because as I mentioned earlier, opponents would rather wait and fight Joshua than him vacate and they fight somebody else for 10% as much.Joshua wants to be undisputed and get the ring belt, so he will do whatever it takes to fight Wilder.
He’s just got to keep beating mandatorys between then and now, or he will run the risk of getting stripped.
Calzaghe got stripped of the IBF belt for not facing the mandatory in much the same circumstances (mandatory opponent wouldn’t be a big a draw as the “hyped opponent”).

I know lots of people love to knock him and I too was one of those that really doubted whether he was the real deal before the Wlad fight. You only have to look at David Price to see that some fighters can be hyped up as the next big thing, blowing away bums in the first round and then come unstuck when they step up. AJ has answered every question asked of him every time he steps up a level - he got clipped vs Whyte but he dug in and took him out, he was all at sea vs Wlad but he found a way to stay in the fight and won it late on and then yesterday, he was up against a durable fighter who many said would cause Joshua problems down the stretch so he came in lighter and boxed a clever fight and if anything it was him, not Parker that got stronger as the fight went on.Just saw the highlights of the AJ vs WK fight randomly pop up on Facebook. AJ took some absolute bombs in that fight and still managed to weather them. (just about) Don’t really have much of a point of this post just that he seems to be able to slug it out when he needs to aswell as the technical clever stuff last night. Personally I’d like him to smash Fury just to shut him up but that’s just me.![]()
but the way people knock him on what he's achieved to date is bonkers if you ask me.
I don't think there's anything sinister behind it. There's just something very English about wanting to knock somebody that's doing well for themselves, we much prefer a loser than a winner. It's no different to the people that would knock Beckham when he was at his peak celebrity status - people didn't like the fame he was enjoying so would look for any excuse to knock him and hoped to see him fail.
I'm sure you could probably guess what he was referring to but I hope and don't believe that's the case.
