Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua in talks for two-fight deal, Jared Anderson and Dillian Whyte 'discussed'

When did Mayweather do that?

The better question would be when didn't he and the imperative word was "arguably".

[BustedKnuckles]

I would imagine that he would jump on the chance but Fury is retired so no point talking about him yet.

At this point he wants big money for ez fights. Anderson should be easier. White is prob bigger money as a uk rematch or whatever. White should be glad for the opp too.

Btw I dont blame him. If I was where he is at this point, I might be thinking the same way. Dish out a couple more L's and ride off into the sunset. Also better for the fans memory to retire with a couple of wins.

Well, you're the one that made the claim, so, I guess I'll ask again, when did Mayweather do that? (Pick fighters "coming off an arguably bad performance")

I like those potential matchups for AJ. Make them happen. Also, while they are at it; Throw Deontay into that mix as well. He is a gatekeeper status now too.

[champion4ever]

I figured AJ would want to fight Fury after a comeback fight. Guess I was wrong.

No, I don't think that will be such a good idea. Joshua has aged progressively worse than Tyson Fury has. Fury could still contend for a title and compete on an elite level. If he so chooses to do so.

However, fighters like Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte, Jarrell Miller or even Deontay Wilder for that matter cannot. I wouldn't mind to see that potential up either once Wilder gets his act together.

Seeing that AJ is coming off what was a devastating loss, a fight against either Anderson or Whyte would make sense for him.

No a whyte fight makes no sense. He already beat him 10 years ago and he is shot. It's literally a farcical fight. If he wants a soft fight at least fight a new opponent not left overs from a decade ago.

[Elastic Recoilz]

AJ should just get on the exhibition circuit ASAP. He's never winning the titles again and there's a number of contenders who'll flatten him. He's always been popular amongst casual fans so he should exploit that for monetary gains while icing complete bums and looking a million dollars while doing so.

Judging by the cautious way AJ fought Franklin, I don't see him making a statement against Anderson. It either goes the distance or Anderson clips him at some point.. If AJ fights Fury, his legacy as a championship boxer will be instantly erased after defeat.

I don't even need to back up the claim it's just a commonly accepted fact that Floyd has a cherry picked resume full of past prime greats, smaller men, catchweights, rehydration clauses AND he specifically avoided the top fighters while said fighters were still on top.

He would only get serious and consider them (top fighters) AFTER they hit the canvas and slowed down.

Everything he did and everyone he fought were selectively chosen at opportune times for himself and if he didn’t feel he had an advantage, he would not fight them.

The prime example of this being Winky Wright, he called him out and put all the stipulations on him likely anticipating he wouldn't accept, and to his surprise he did then Floyd refused to fight him.

Not only that Floyd never even attempted to become undisputed.

Now there are 17 weight classes, and four/five title belts (if for some reason you accept the IBO), plus the Ring.

The logical entailment of that is becoming a champion is easier and there is more opportunities for said champions to be weak(er) further exacerbating his and others egregious cherry picking.

Er ya kind of do. Make a claim, back it up. Kind of exactly how it works

...It's a very simple question mate, this is your second time directly avoiding it. Fancy trying to answer it on third attempt?

You have claimed that Mayweather picked fighters "coming off an arguably bad performance".

When did Mayweather do that? List the fights.
