Saw this is his potential July 9th opponent. Malik fucking Scott! Eddie Hearn cant be putting Joshua in with a guy like this.
its crazy that he is talking about that date for the fight anyway, everyone involved in boxing should be working towards the greater good, getting as many people to watch as many fights as possible.
He thinks putting AJ on the same night as Tyson Fury v Klit is clever, its just fucking ridiculous
In fairness, the first Fury-Klitschko fight was SO bad that it might serve Joshua to be on the same night, for some contrast? Malik Scott is a shit opponent I agree though. He has the kind of style and physicality that might trouble AJ if he were less shit, but this is a waste of a fight.
Yep agree. What he should do if its going to be AJ v Scott is put it on Friday night on normal sky TV. No PPV. Get as many people watching boxing that weekend as possible.Quote:

Saw on Twitter that Scott said he had a contract to fight Joshua if he won last night. Don't know what to make of it, he isn't in the top 15 with the IBF. I think he's only ranked with the WBO.
Hearn was just gloating that they can blast Fury-Klit out the park now that AJ is "world" champ. Which is true. That's why Sky gave the rematch the elbow
To be fair there isn't too many realistic opponents that could stand up to joshua right now I think.. There is certainly worse than malik scott out there.. I would prefer he takes on the winner of chisora pulev or maybe Duhaupass.. Duhaupass would be the best opponent to give him rounds and a good test I think.
This is how I see it. Malik Scott is nowhere in the IBF rankings, so f he is AJ's next fight, it's probably a voluntary. Not unlike Sky/Matchroom did with Brook fighting Gavin. Obviously yet another piss take, and if they make it PPV at Wembley like they've been hinting , fans should vote with their wallets , especially in light of the other fight on Box Nation on the same night.
If he has to fight a mandatory , then surely the IBF should make him fight the Takam/Parker winner within 90 days, as they are next in line in their rankings. Failing that the next 2 in the rankings are Chisora and Pulev, so the winner fights AJ. I don't know how bad Glazkov's Knee injury is, but there is another possibility as he was unlucky to lose his shot in that manner.
My real worry isn't so much that he fights Scott, it's that he keeps fighting stiffs and Sky/Matchroom keep conning the public.
Scott would still need to be in the IBFs rankings to be a voluntary.Quote:

Forget Scott!
AJ needs to fight someone who will go rounds with him.
Arreleo is a good shout.
Stiverne will take AJ the distance.
Stiverne isnt doing anything now. He was lucky he had Arreola.Quote:

I don't think Arreola or Stiverne are any more credible than Malik Scott is right now, or any more likely to ask any serious questions of AJ, honestly. I understand the Wilder fight makes Scott look useless and AJ looks more than capable of doing him in the same style, but where does this idea that Arreola is still a good fighter come from? He would be a heavy bag for Joshua at best.
Yeah hes struggling and getting hurt with everyone now. Stiverne is only rated off his wins over Arreola and got dropped himself recently, hes been stopped before also. They do have name value and will make any contender look good. They wont really be threat though.Quote:

and scott may well be every bit as good s those two but his fights against chiz and wilder make it a less credible defence
least the other two would take a bit of batter before falling over
The amount of money the IBF will make from his fights theyd let him fight me if Hearn wantsQuote:

Stiverne and Arreleo would be better than Chisora who looks like a pudding.
id like to see chiz in with any of them two, would be an interesting fightQuote:

Chisora depending on how he does against Pulev is at least on equal terms with Arreola and Stverne currently who have both looked worse than Chisroa has recently.
We shall see what Chisora has left. If he beat Pulev then fair enough he is not as shot as I think he is.Quote:

Stiverne, possibly not as bad as Arreola, went 10 with Derric Rossy and looked absolutely useless getting dropped in Round 1. This is a chap Audley stopped in prizefighter.
I honestly believe there is a massive gulf in class between US and European heavies at the moment. Apart from Wilder (who I think will be found out against Povetkin) the rest would all struggle at British level against guys like Chisora, Whyte and Price let alone AJ, Haye or Fury. I dont even know who the US heavy hopes are? Your man Breazeale looks pretty average too (think people were saying him and Martin was a 50/50 before that got cancelled). Washington and Ruiz Jr are other unbeaten US fighters who never look world beaters when they fight.
But Pulev isnt shit so a good performance losing to him is nothing to be ashamed about.Quote:

And anyway, if Pulev did beat Chisora , wouldn't Pulev be ahead of Chisora in the reckoning for Fighting AJ? or doesn't it work like that, perhaps he's not British enough.
Luis Ortiz would beat AJ and ruin his ppv dreams. :)
Stiverne is the best of that bunch. Molina is a tough guy with pop but not a former title holder like Stiverne.Quote:

Did not realise he was old. Heavyweights get better with age.Quote:
