Comments Thread For: Arum: Joshua's Not An Elite Fighter; Will Fight Rest Of His Career Scared

[DaNeutral.]

Lol Bob. Is Hearn in his head? Old man can still carry a big bag of salt around with him no problem. Why are all these Americans so intimidated by Hearn Matchroom and DAZN?

Joshua awaits the winner, the winner can come and earn a real pay day. If they dare.

Joshua did fight scared against Ruiz in the rematch.

Remind me of that time Wilder fought Whyte in the UK? Povetkin in Russia? Parker in New Zealand? oh yeah, hes never actually faced anyone of worth outside of his home country has he?

Wasnt stepping up to Wlad in his 19th pro fight dangerous? wasnt fighting Whyte (who held an ammy victory over him) in his 15th fight dangerous? wasnt it kinda risky that a few weeks out from their American debut fight date and with a possible AJ concussion they picked as a replacement opponent an experienced 30+ fight American whos only loss was a contentious decision vs Parker in a world title fight? I guess Usyk will count as a risk free can too as long as its AJ and not Fury or Wilder fighting him.

Seems to me like AJ has actually been the most consistent in the division when it comes to facing legit competition. Hes fought almost half of the current top 10. Why is it that the supposed top two in the division have almost completely avoided facing the rest of the top 10?

On the way up, no doubt he had to face the champs to get the belts. Wilder's had the easiest route to the belts, thanks to Haymon. Now that Joshua's got the belts, he's hiding behind fake and lowball offers to Wilder, Ortiz, and maybe even Fury. The Ruiz fight really shook him bad when the world found out Ruiz could fight when focused. He ends up dancing for a full 12 rounds for a safe win against an okay fighter.

It's disappointing that Joshua can't command his promoter to cut in line to fight Wilder or Fury. How the hell did Fury cut in front of the lunch line to get to Wilder first and why would Joshua get a restraining order to prevent Wilder from calling him out in the ring? That's some cornball behavior. Anyways, I suspect we'll see him fight Wilder/Fury after further marination in 2022.

I like Bob but ridiculous, nonsensical statements like that are impossible to defend.

I get it, Bob hates DAZAN and Hearn because they threaten his business model but preposterous statements like that diminish his point of view.

Don't like Bob. But this time he's right. And he would know this after 55 years in the sport. A guy with a punch who can throw combos has Joshuas number every time

120 million wasn't enough for Wilder and 7 million wasn't enough for Ortiz now both fight for peanuts...

You must have missed AJ's last fight when he schooled the Boxer, combo puncher that Wilder, Fury and Ortiz ducked.

AJ was so frightened that he out boxed and beat Ruiz's azz for 12 rounds...lol,lol,lol.

Joshua did fight scared against Ruiz in the rematch.

Joshua's always been a stone cold b---h so old crook Bob isn't lying there.

[champion4ever]

Damn Bob! What a way to shit on a man's career? He's saying that Anthony Joshua is no longer irrelevant. It seems to me that both Al Haymon and Bob Arum are colluding in order to continue this freeze out of AJ.
