Joshua's Opponent - Is there No One Else?

[nitro5912]

Parker(1) v Ruiz(5) Dec 10 for WBO world title

Are the only 2 I can find with anything penned in. It amazes me that martin is still held so high when he fell over, but breazeale has been bombed out below a drug cheat teper.

When?

Bombed out the rankings is what I meant

I heard it was Price or Molina. Eddie wanted Price but the Americans won't buy it for good money so it's going to be Molina as it will sell in the US.

I'd rather see Price and so would most of the 'industry' and everyone's saying the same thing. Price will likely get iced whenever AJ steps it up but there's just that beautific chance Price lands on him and sends him to the canvas in a slumber.

Just came on to post much the same thing. Unless Pulev is injured I honestly don't know why they haven't went for him? He's available as far as I know and will be mandatory soon anyway if Parker goes the WBO route. It's a no brainier for me. Far far better option than most!

Easy...Pulev will get much more money if he is a real mandatory. Also this bout is too serious for him to take it with only 6 weeks warning.

They were trying to get Pulev months ago, but he did decline. Is there more money in a mandatory over a voluntary?

I'm not sure tbh mate but I'd imagine if Pulev was mandatory is would give him a stronger hand in any negotiations so probably.

For sure :)They offered Pulev 700 000 British pounds for the voluntary defense :)

[forestbox]

I would like to see him fight pulev would be good opponent at this stage of his carrer

[forcefraser]

It`s got Molina written all over it

I'd be extremely surprised if he made more than 700k with anyone else... Any idea how much he made for the Chisora fight?

For sure not, but I'm also sure that he is taking this fight seriously and he will not fight only for the money.

So then what's the reason behind the numerous rejections of title fights?

I think, it is the time. When they offered him the title fight the fight was meant to happen in November. They offers him in late September.
2 months are not enough for a serious fighter which is taking this kind of title shots seriously to prepare himself.

This is my opinion.

He's not coming off a year of inactivity. He only went 12 rounds with Chisora in May. 8 weeks should be enough to sharpen up, maybe even get a warm up fight in. He just straight up refused.

Anybody seen anything of Izuagbe Ugonoh?

He has a good record against very limited opposition.

As for Joshua it's Price or Molina, I think it will be Price. Neither guys are PPV, but there you go?

I would like the Price fight more if he had a good win under his belt but it's hard to see it being anything other than a Joshua very early KO. Although I will be championing for the opposite.

Yes, I did something on him before, quick, agile, athletic, throws a lot of shots, great combinations, would be a threat to Joshua.

He looks like a good fighter that guy and in this current heavyweight era I expect that without a good promoter behind him he'll be avoided like the plague.

Did you mean to say Pulev there mate? Isn't the OP talking about Price?

Certain people always side with the option that best suits them. Pricey's mates and those trying to justify such a mismatch will say things like, 'Price only needs one punch' etc

There was more than a couple on here who actually said it would be better if Joshua simply jacked the December fight in and wait for a proper challenge than fight Price or Molina.

Keeping the US tv people happy isn't the worst idea in the world. Molina makes more sense in that regards and as plenty have said, Molina would more than likely beat Price so its not as if Price is a better fighter etc

Just get this one out of the way, then focus on fighting genuine challengers or taking part in unification's etc

He should take notes from Ortiz.

Yeah I was saying they should go for Pulev but I was going to post it'll either be Molina or Price but other dude beat me to it

[Andrew]

Thought this would have been done today.

What can the hold up be ? Surely Molina isn't a difficult fight to negotiate.

[handsofstone]

Maybe Fast Car might start revealing opponents on the night,revolutionising the sport Joshua's opponent might come to the ring whilst the fans scream in anticipation like WWF

Can you imagine AJ stood in the ring waiting ,then all you hear is a loan saxophone playing Bruce Springsteen-Born in the USA as a mean looking Tony Thompson is pushed into the ring on a wheelchair as a stannah stairlift elevates him up into the ring
