I think this is gonna happen - AJ don't like hanging around and will definitely want this more than any fight out there at present, makes perfect sense with Wlad slowing down and proving to be very beatable :cool:

Even though I'd have preferred to see Tyson defend his titles against Klit I think this will be a better fight to watch.
Kind of a similar situation to when Wlad wanted to fight Lennox Lewis only now the part of Wlad will be played by Anthony Joshua and the part of Lennox Lewis will be played by Wlad. Funny how things work out.
Too many obstacles for this to realistically happen this year.
The fighters are with different TV companies.
The sanctioning bodies would have to dismiss current top contenders.
Does Joshuas team really want it? Is Hearn just using Klitschkos name for publicity knowing all the obstacles will prevent it happening?
Will Klitschko want to go in as a challenger or will he want to face Browne for the WBA first which is what his team is actually talking to Brownes about right now.
It does make me laugh that Klitschko v Joshua is seen as a big deal and exciting whereas no one seemed interested in Fury v Klitschko 2. Apparently Klitschko is old and washed up yet this is now an exciting match up with an old and washed up fighter? Those same people would tell you that Joshua would beat Fury but the difference in anticipation is due to the fact they know full well it will be another whitewash against Fury because he's just too good whereas Klitschko had more than a chance against Joshua.
Excuse me son we're talking about boxing and boxers and not Gypsies and their drug habitsQuote:

3. Even more bad headlines because of his pig ignorant and abusive twats, more pressure.
4. Drug allegations re steroids, and his own stupid statements that he was on Coke (not diet)
5. Allowing a year to go by without knuckleing down and getting this rematch, arguably his highest ever payday, on.
Given all the above I think this shit should have been handled for Tyson by his 'team', and he has been left to make a complete cnut of himself by a piss poor management team, I hope they are happy with their little pensions, because that's all they're getting.
I think he should disappear for a year and come back properly represented, if he can find nobody honest enough to represent him he should retire and take life easy with no aggro.
Ahem....LEGIT....ie no steroids no drugs comprende?Quote:

If it's realistically offered to AJ..fat chance..sure he can take it at early stage of career and time left but don't see it.
Agreed, too early for Joshua. I would be astounded if they actually want this.Quote:

I can't stand that grinning imp Hearn.
He loves his own publicity much more than that of his fighters, and his greasy smirking car salesman act really grates on me.
he was much too quick to pile into Tyson Furys problems for my liking, and he seems to enjoy picking on his fresh corpse.
A smarmy untrustworthy oily vulture, methinks, who is only successful because of his daddy.
He was clean when he won and fell off the rails after.Quote:

^^^ that's not a fact, its an opinion
Furys a fucking idiot and probably just cost himself £10 million ish.
His uncle can fuck off with his article in todays press considering he's an ex drug dealer himself.... fucking hypocritical cunt.
anyone got any chill pills?
Its Tyson Fury dont forget. Most talked about fighter on here, even though he hasnt even fought this year;D
Being the most talked about fighter doesn't make him the best or even most liked
plus I am sure that throughout the year there would have been more threads about Mayweather than Fury, and he hasn't only not fought this year but he's fucking retired (apparently) ;D
oh and the only other reason as to why he is discussed to the extent that he is is because of people trying to fathom the reason behind your unconditional romance with the man, I have to give you that much you have single handedly promoted the man all year round.
I may have missed it but have you actually stated your opinion on professional boxers who take cocaine? do you agree with it?
I agree with it
It's alright, he's making up for future time lost because people knew he wasn't a rocket scientist but they never thought he could be this God damned dumb.Quote:

I hope it is Klit as I start to worry that the undeserving Haye will get a shot - and I'd pick him to take AJ at present.
counter argument to what?
I thought you and I quote "couldn't be arsed talking about it anymore"? But since you've stuck to your guns ;D you have no counter argument to my statement. I say FACT you say it's opinion, you ask for specifics and then fail to elaborate on your position. There's no "Deontay Wilder/Anthony Joshua are the most dangerous fighters" or "Tyson Fury is still a top boxer" it's just "that's an opinion" and then nothing....you're a waste of timeQuote:

I think and I hope it doesn't happen, but it's a possibility that Wlad might over train for this one....he's been in the gym since before Cokehead McGee decided to slide off the rails and fail 2 drug tests (you know after the PEDs test he also failed).
Joshua is young, he's still wound up pretty tight but he's a very dangerous fighter perhaps the best in the division bar Wlad himself.
The GOOD news for Wlad is that Joshua has a more deliberate style than Wilder who is as his name suggests, someone who doesn't wait around to set anything up, he just swings for the fences.
are you trying to say Joshua and Wlad bare no resemblance to Clay and Berbick ?Quote:

He sparred quite a lot with Joshua years ago apparently. I wonder how it went.
i for one hope that Wlad and Joshua fight. Wlad will easily be leagues better than anyone Joshua has fought, and Joshua will Ben a genuine test for Wlad at this stage if his career.
Whoever wins will have decent heavyweight bragging rights.
