Don King To Hearn: Trevor Bryan is Ready To Face Joshua

[Onetimeonly]

Strange that the books would post a line out of the blue, unless word has leaked.

We'll see. I hope it is hunter. fornicate Ruiz.

[SenorPipino]

We'll see.3 I hope it is hunter. eff Ruiz.

What was Joshua's objection?

Possibly Hunter not established yet as a credible heavyweight contender?

That he'd want more time for his style when he was preparing for Miller.

[oogiebe]

That he'd want more time for his style when he was preparing for Miller.

So AJ wanting/needing more time to prepare is ok.

To me? Yes, it's a substitute opponent.

[Onetimeonly]

Also assuming that's true. You'd think they would get his answer before making an offer.

That's true. I still say if it were Wilder, the haters would have a feeding frenzy.

Of course they would. He's fought two top 5 guys in a row and doesn't get credit from them for that.

It does seem like there is a lot of less than stellar communicating going on, so I'm not surprised at that. I fear we're going to see Ruiz, which means I won't be watching.

I would like to think Joshua would prefer to take on a more established opponent or one more appealing to the fans. I'd be disappointed in AJ if he were nervous about taking on Hunter for any reason, but that doesn't sound much like Joshua to me.

I'll keep my powder dry until I know more.

[candyslim]

What's up with Ruiz? He went very close with Parker who took AJ the distance. I think Hunter gives Joshua more problems to solve but a win over Ruiz is probably more prestigious.

I'll be watching AJ whoever is in the opposite corner (although not necessarily live on PPV) because his fights are invariably very exciting. Same goes for Wilder fights.

When I say I won't be watching I'm speaking of paying for it. There's nothing intriguing with AJ/Ruiz.

ruiz would kinda be like how szpilka was to wilder, though i doubt fat boi gives aj as many problems

Paying for AJ-Ruiz is like paying for porn; it just doesn't make sense.

The distance of this fight is predominantly dependent on how much punishment Ruiz can absorb. That's pretty much it.

Fighters really still sign with Don King?!?!

I know right?!

Ok I'll buy that ... except like you I probably won't

[oogiebe]

I had interest in the Miller fight and would even at least thought about buying Ortiz. But that's pretty much it.

You mean I could get it for free

True dat.

Fighters really still sign with Don King?!?!

I know what you mean but look what he managed to do for Stiverne ... I mean getting a totally undeserved title shot rather than a totally deserved demolition

[jamamb]

well a ruiz fight would be kind of like porn with all the titty bouncing about

GROSS!! I can't watch him. He's so freakin' flabby and "jiggly."

Glad my wife isn't so squeamish
