Comments Thread For: Hearn: Moving Forward With Joshua-Pulev, Late May Or Early June

[Vinnykin]

Unfortunately it’s become the norm. I don’t disagree but he isn’t the only one. You would think 3 fights a year is fine, 1 month off and 3 months training. Maybe extended break if obviously you got injury or heavy loss etc

I think the schedule you mentioned is fine as a low-fight, 30 year old that has been in two "wars" or damaging fights in his career.

Why isn't Joshua getting these mando's out the way ASAP? like you say, month or two weeks between fights?

I think Joshua has asserted himself as the top guy, before losing, and expect others to jump to his tune (they booked for Wembley in september and April before the Povetkin fight) ..... and tried to force fights)

When the April fight went AWOL they got Miller, Ruiz, America.... then he got splatted all over the ring..... the rest is history.

I think Joshua has been fast-tracked to glory and therefore thinks he can take 6-9 month breaks..... it's as simple as that. When Wilder and Fury are older, have more fights, and are fighting more regular than you...... take a look at yourself.

Edit: Wilder went from Ortiz, had one week off, then started training for, who many think, is the best boxer at heavyweight...... even I respect that when it comes to activity.

Wilder had zero damage from Ortiz, he is always in-shape..... goes straight in to the biggest fight of his career with no break...... that is what I loved about Fury pre-klitchko...nothing but respect for both of them for who they ae facing.

Fury got knocked down twice last time. This time it will be even worse.

Guys like you said fury wouldn't last 6 rounds in the first fight because he was obsessed.
Now you have started again. You better keep mute and wait for fight night before you become a laughing stock here.

I never said such a thing. Direct your inane comments somewhere else, to someone who did.

How many times do wilder fight in a year you monk?

The same thing you are saying now.
Line up your excuses after Feb 22.

Joshua could have fought Pulev in April, Usyk in late July, then went after the Wilder Fury winner for December.

What is with Joshua only fighting twice a year? he was 9 months out before Ruiz 1, this activity level is shiat for a 3 belt champion with big fights supposedly on the horizon.

Joshua only fights twice a year, as a lot of forward planning is required to cater for his heavy steroid use and ensure he can beat the testers.

[champion4ever]

That's right. Let AJ take care of his business with his mandatories of Pulev and Usyk first and then look to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world with either Wilder or Fury next in 2021.

You do realise wilder isn’t anymore active ? I would argue he is worse because is level of opposition is significantly weaker. Fury has been but only when against real low level opposition. This issue isn’t just Joshua.

Wilder only has one belt you mong..... and Joshua has fought one less fight than Fury and Wilder in the last 2 years...... Wilder has had 40+ fights and is more active.... Fury came back and is away to fight 5 fights in less than 18 months, two against Wilder.......... suck a big one ..... Joshua is a 2 a year bum and getting knocked out 50% of the time.

I'm not going there..... he is tested more than any other champ or HW by UKAD and VADA.
