Q2 Arena London: Joshua vs Whyte, Bellow, Eubank, Mitchell, Malignaggi discussion

[Eff Pandas]

Maybe Joshua vs. Chisora next??

That seems like the solidest next move to me. If they are legit looking for a title fight in 2016 a guy like Chisora is a great measuring stick for where he's at right now. Not too soft & not too tough of a challenge. Then if he can get him out quicker than Haye maybe Haye could be lined up in a fight or two after Chisora.

[kiaba360]

yeah pretty obvious it will be him

i see it as a step back from whyte IMO.

chisora is semi retired fighting for one last pay day, he will quit at the first opportunity against AJ

chuck AJ in with tony thompson or somebody a bit younger / actually will fight back instead of quitting in the first round.

Del Boy fought 4 times this year (against nobodies), seems like he's trying to get his career back on track.

i'd prefer to see whyte-chisora and joshua-teper for the EBU

agreed. sounds good.

i think hearn is probably cleaning his soiled underwear atm and will feed more bum's to AJ next year before giving him a live opponent at the end of next year.

So you guys think Joshua is not ready for Haye? Ill tell you one thing, when they were kicking that fight around in the broadcast booth and it came to Haye, you would have thought Jessica Alba was bent over and someone asked him if he would like a shag! haye was positively stuttering! So he thinks he could take Joshua, and if he changes his mind he can always pull out right?

Haye would beat Joshua now.

Whyte is twice as slow and doesn't have Haye type power.

Haye would land, and he would absolutely be a lot more pin point than Whyte. In fact Joshua is relatively easy to hit with low ring IQ, which is expected for a 15 pro fight guy.


Haye said he saw weaknesses he can work on with Joshua. We all see it too however, which is why I know Haye can win, if he is anything like what he was.

Joshua was stiff as a corpse in there. Only thing working for him was his size.
I wonder why he is ranked so high in the WBC?
He is young but he should carefully choose his fight. He should have fights like these more often where he can learn so much.

Fighting name opponents like Kevin Johnson who isnt going to fight back would just deter his development as a boxer.

As for Whyte, I'd like to see him lose some fat and improve his cardio. Then have Banks improve his punching technique.

I still would like to see a rematch in the future but depending on how there fare in their next fights.

yeah Sauerland getting his name out there.

It seems like it's forever been chisora ' getting back on track ' doesn't it ?

he's done imo, he told his mum he would ' give it one last big go ' in boxing and that was about 5 fights ago.

do you really think chisora would put up an effort equal/better than whyte did?
whyte is basically chisora + heart.

I think Del Boy gets his ass whupped. I would rather Joshua vs. Teper/Fedosov/Mansour/Helenius but given the fact that AJ only has 15 bouts, it wouldn't hurt to have Chisora on his resume.

That might not be a bad move for Joshua. Teper should be the top IBF contender once this vacant title situation gets figured out. Think Joshua should be in the top 5 of the IBF after this W. Joshua vs Teper for a mandatory spot vs the Martin vs Glazkov winner + the EBU belt could be a great option to fast track a title in late 2016/early 2017.

[Skip Bayless]

aj style reminds me a lot of canelo.

ideally yeah it would be teper for the european title then fight fury for the world title with a thompson/takam before or inbetween.

no chance tho, look to see hearn put AJ in with maurice harris next
