If he wins the rematch against a Wladimir that actually throws punches I'll be more impressed with him. But basically he was just the guy in the ring the night that Wlad decided to hand his title to somebody.

Joshua don't need anyone, that's the thing. He calls the tune now. Haye? What's it to Joshua? A million or two more than if he were to fight Takam. Joshua will earn millions for routine defences.

Takam would probably be more dangerous than Hayelillywhite14 wrote:Joshua don't need anyone, that's the thing. He calls the tune now. Haye? What's it to Joshua? A million or two more than if he were to fight Takam. Joshua will earn millions for routine defences.

Re: Joshua v Martin RBR
First defence against whom?
Shannon Briggs? Would explain the move to the UK, build up a profile here to sell the fight.

He'd be a big underdog. He's not ready.

I think Fury is Joshua's worst nightmare. Taller, faster, longer arms and more mobile. Not saying AJ couldn't win but Fury seems like the hardest style.
I will forgive AJ a gimme next (not Haye until he beats a live body) followed by the winner of Pulev v Chisora or winner of Takam v Parker whichever comes up first.

Could you clarify?
Stop being daft.
Re: Joshua v Martin RBR
Haye's wetting his pants over the prospect of facing AJ. He must need the money.

If you can't see or understand why Wlad was so inactive in that fight then I don't know really know what to say.
He didn't even try.
Plenty of fighters have stood in front of their opponents with their hands down, doesn't mean that they're begging to be hit and that anything thrown at them will actually land, someone that knows boxing should understand that.

Teper is the highest rated IBF contender and beat Price in his last outing. Unless he's still serving suspension for his drug fails he'd be a possibility.ewenhay wrote:First defence against whom?

Haye has invested wisely mate. He ain't skint.Neil Gee wrote:Haye's wetting his pants over the prospect of facing AJ. He must need the money.
Re: Joshua v Martin RBR
AJ is an offensive juggernaut. Admiittedly he hasn't defeated a top opponent, but I can't see many people coping with his attack and he'll probably just get better, though I already think he'd overwhelm solid fighters like Pulev.
It may be a case of having to take him out beforr he can land something meaningful.

I just really really really hope Fury gets past Wlad in the summer and fights Joshua afterwards. The arguments on here in the build-up alone could genuinely break the internet

Stop being a pedantic knobhead, Horse. The fact that guys who are lighter than him and shorter than him, hit harder than he does is exactly the point.
