I know it's different cultural norms & shite, but we do act the pudendum on the business side of it in Britain. Apologies to all involved in the actual business side of it in Britain, but your basic idea is "Take the public for utter, utter pudenda for as long as possible" & us poor schmucks willingly lap it up.

Any criticism is shot down with the rank-closing sort of talk: "Fairy-tale land, opponents aren't free, our jobs are haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard, what d'you expect, blahblahblah".

I'd have a lot more respect for those in the industry if they just admitted:

"Look, we like lining our fvcking pockets. If we didn't do it this way we'd all have to get real jobs, or Heaven forefend, start doing our ones properly, i.e. to some standard of competence where we could make money with a decent product instead of creaming you lot for a shower of shite. Or just, you know, we'd have to not be completely greedy fvcking pudenda 99% of the time".

I wouldn't mind that. But they never have the bollocks to come out & say it.

The examples of the Japanese prospect industry are inspiring imo. Like I said, cultural differences & shite, but can a proponent of the worth of the current system explain--in words of one syllable or less--explain why Joshua needs 20 knockover jobs on his record, when Naoya Inoue just beat the best fighter IN THE WORLD at his weight in his sixth pro fight?

Apart from to make everyone even remotely connected with him incredibly rich, that is. Again, I wouldn't mind, but with the current US/UK system, the enrichment of the fighter is secondary to the enrichment of the industry itself.

It can't just be me that would rather he faced Audley f*cking Harrison than Legg?!?

I hope it's just you Mark

Harrison could beat 10 Legg clones back to back on the same night.

Harrison is a top domestic level fighter. Legg is a nobody.

I thought Joshua's promoters promised us a 'big name' for this fight? I'd hate to see who they would regard as a 'regular' fighter...

Is Chuck Gardner still active?

The best o e could say about Legg is that he will look the part as he is usually in shape... And it took James Toney 3 rounds to stop him.... And errrrr that's it.

I think Legg will come out blazing / or freeze but get stopped by the first Joshua right hand that lands.

Joshua Ko 1:31

That may be so but Harrison falls to pieces whenever he gets a hard punch and sometimes before. It is painful to watch him suffer like that though he is skilled.

I don't want Joshua to fight Harrison, but I really don't want Joshua to fight Legg.

Beating Legg is worth nothing. It makes Joshua look weak because he's taking on such a low level opponent.

Poor match up.....I don't think Eddie's got a Legg to stand on here....

I got called an idiot when I suggested that the only was Joshua loses this is if he trips on the steps Then I got called even more of an idiot when I suggested that every fight should feature someone who has even a slight chance of winning

About 2,000 years ago you could go to an arena, hand over your gold and watch someone getting eaten by lions. We havent moved on much.....
