That was embarrassing the benn fight
You would think it would be more than a moving punching bag though.Not really. Its his first fight. He isnt going to fight anybody if any quality.
Disagree, he couldn't compete with the big boys so has been fighting mid to low ranked fighters since. He has found his level.
He will probably beat Martin but Joshua is nowhere near world level. Martin won the title by default. Joshua needed another 12-18 months development before being thrusted into a world title fight, because once you get the belt you have to face the best.
Like Kell Brook? JoJo Dan and Bizier were hardly 'the best'
Both Mandatories, not a lot you can do about that.
And which of Joshua's mandatories will trouble him? He will be fighting plumbers and builders again soon, on PPV i'm sure! Chisora is ranked in the top 10 by the IBF!
Joshua, Wilder and Haye would all take Fury, the bloke is a poor fighter and is one of the worst heavyweight champs of all time, he beat a fighter that should have retired a few years back by slapping and smothering him, and he's a bigot.
Not convinced that Fury will win his rematch, anyway...

His next mandatory is either Parker or Takam. Takam is a very good heavyweight, Parker is a bit like Joshua in the sense he's a prospect who's banged out a load of shite, but if he beats Takam he is fringe world level so either of them would be a big step up for Joshua.
Also I'd imagine the IBF will be giving Glazkov a shot at the title considering what happened in his fight with Martin back in January.
No it aint, CHisora is fighting for the European and a mandatory spot.
Both Mandatories, not a lot you can do about that.
Im a huge Kell Brook fan and the mandatories have to be done, but he shouldnt be fighting Frankie Gavin at the top of a box office card. Think the Chaves fight would have been more competitive but he was still another guy who has proven not to be at world level. Next fight will be a big name though, it has to be for his and hearns credibility.
Not sure Chisora is much better than Dyllan White, although thats a fight Id like to watch, styles make fights and their styles would make for a very entertaing 36 minutes or less.
He was KO'd by haye who is a pumped up cruiserweight, no way he would handle the power of AJ, I think that fight would be over in 2/3. Theres only so many people left that you can put AJ in with that he isnt going to blow away, if you want him to progress and be tested it has to be a ortiz or Pulev, although I expect Hearn to just roll him out at the 02 a couple more times this year to defend his title against no hopers inbetween mandatories to keep the turnover ticking. Would like to be proven wrong though.
Amazed at the hate towards fury. He just took Mr unbeatable to the cleaners and did it with relative ease.
Very very clever boxer and very very underrated IMO Tyson fury .
What makes everyone think he's shit ? His record at fighting harder Fighters is better than Wilder even , I just think it's the pikie issue , cuz look at his actual record and he's possibly the Best record out there.
He would beat everyone out there right now .
People mentioning klit , forget him , he's finished if he can't do anything to fury next time, and to be honest I saw an old man who was very past it against fury , he offered nothing Then and to be honest he's offered nothing for year fighting bums
Hearn says this morning on the net that it's likely to be an American opponent next, they're gonna fast track joshua into USA hearts , I can't imagine a fight with fury for a couple years now , a couple americans then wilder , if wilder holds onto his belt
Klit will be nearing 41. Only 3 heavyweights have won the title at that age and they were all a lot better.
His record is over inflated and his boring font forward style of fighting , and the fact the first fighter his size he's fought that isn't dead wood , beat him easily.
Fury will beat him again easily , and i'll make a prediction, BY KNOCKOUT .
Remember the thread . I said it first
Pulev is 6"6 and isn't dead wood he's very good heavyweight, Klitschko battered him. But I get your point. Wlad maybe got old over night, he's been a great champion and a brilliant role model for the sport. It's not his fault the competition hasn't been there.
Malik Scott wouldn't be my choice aha whoever it is it wont be a very dangerous fight, it'll be someone that looks like a step up on paper to get the ppv buys but actually it's another easy job for AJ.
Kell Brook will have to go to america again to get a decent fight, because they will all ask for too much money to come and fight him in sheffield. he needs one good win verses someone proven then possibly go up in weight and go after khan again, that fight needs to be made!
Made offers to Danny Garcia and Adrian Broner according to Hearn. Think he beats both, Broner probably more comfortably but may have to go to Vegas for that one and New York for Garcia?
