Won't happen but I'd like to see him box Haye and then the winner box Fury. Then the winner of that to fight Wilder. And the winner of that to fight Ortiz behind closed doors (just for me to see if I'm right but without upsetting the earnings apple-cart).

Do you think Fury would entertain Haye again? I know money talks but he seemed pretty adamant. Once bitten n all that...

If he beat Klitschko, Wilder and Joshua and was still keen to earn more, I think he could perhaps be tempted to change his mind if Haye was still hereabouts. The ship has probably sailed though.

It means 'fixed that for you'. Davie has altered your quote to reflect the fact he doesn't believe Joshua is the world heavyweight champion.

What's happening with Browne? Has he been suspended or not?

If that happened it'd take so long to go through I'm sre there'd be another next big thing, maybe Parker.

Apparently they've turned down tarver because "he isn't a big enough name to sell the fight"?

Surely that's a very easy fight to sell.

Haven't seen the quote but I he is fighting Fury, Klit, Wilder or even Ortiz fair enough. If he is fighting Scott not so much!

The man's 47, I'd be as interested in seeing him fight Shannon Briggs, James Toney or RJJ

They're all "names" as well

Tarver would be the best opponent that he'd have faced on paper.

I think he mentioned Dominic Breazeale on the radio so we can chuck him in the mix too.

I agree that Stiverne is the best fight out of the three. Big statement to go in against the guy that took Wilder all 12 rounds. He's a big lump and not afraid to throw bombs. Is he still with Don King?

It's not a big statement, it's sensible matchmaking.

Stiverne is relatively awful.

Who he should fight and who he does , 2 different things ,, He;s supposed to be a heavyweight champion of the world , ( or at least partly ).. The likes of Chisora and Briggs should'nt even ne mentioned there finished , kaput , gone , just hanging around living on past glories looking for a payday .. PARKER well really he's just another guy who's fought unknowns and got a good ratiing with his name in the mix ,, so for me it should be Parker , other than that ,the only guys are Wilder and Fury , go out and win the other belts .

Still learning went out the window when they bought him the Belt , now he's supposed to be a champ , he should act like one and fight the best . Won't happen though , because boxing is a joke nowadays

I didn't think they had requested the B sample? As far as I'm aware, the Browne camp didn't actually dispute the test result - their implied argument was that Browne was spiked at some point in Grozny.

If Chisora beats Pulev then he's a top contender.

What?

Parker's fought no one, but he deserves a shot?

Yeah, boxing used to be so pure and beautiful in the past.

I hope you don't mind if I file that one under 'arguing for the sake of it' do you?

Would Tarver be his best opponent so far? possibly, a draw with Cunningham in his last outing tells me he's probably better than Whyte or Martin.
And he's got a far better record than anyone AJ has faced.

But do you really want to see Joshua, someone 6'6" and 245lb with such explosive power , in with a 47 year old, 6'2" former LHW?

More so than against Dominic Breazeale or Jarrell Miller.

Ha, well you make a decent point there.

But I don't want to see him fight them because they're poor opposition for a world champion
They're even poor opposition for a "world champion"
but I don't want to see a 47 year old light heavyweight in there because he might get fucked up

It's not a fight that I'm desperate to see, but I don't think that it'd be terrible.

Difference is Tarver is a 5 time world champion who's ko'd Jonathan Banks and drew with Steve Cunningham and the number 10 ranked HW. That's an easy sell and a credible opponent (more credible than Malik Scott for certain).

It's a tough one to decide.... Tarver has been in Rocky Balboa, talks ok, and is a decent name... But conversely he is 47, failed a drug test, is originally a light heavy and is severely ugly. I can't see it. At least Mark De Mori looked dangerous even though he wasn't.

Brand AJ and Eddie Hearn will chose an opponent that can be bigged up, even though he will be rubbish. But really AJ is a bit of a 'celebrity boxer' so many will show up to watch him bang out Larry Olubamiwo or maybe even Chuck Gardner

No one bangs out Chuck. It was a lucky punch that Bruno landed.

I genuinely had Chuck leading until the stoppage!
