Joshua v Klitschko edges closer - December 2016

[El Kabong]

Wlad should take AJ sooner rather than later as AJ is relatively inexperienced and will only get better whereas Wlad is getting older and nearing retirement.

Absolutely or Wlad could do as Lennox Lewis did and just wait it out and retire without fighting him.

The likelihood of Anthony Joshua and/or Deontay Wilder remaining undefeated is next to 0

What a joke.

The real heavyweight champion of the world has his IBF belt taken off him, even though it is physically impossible for him to follow their wishes. He would never have got the shot against Wlad if he didn't agree to the rematch clause.

The real heavyweight champion of the world then acts like an idiot, is subject to a politically correct media witch hunt and then crumbles under the pressure of being champ.

That oily grinning second-hand car salesman Hearn spouts shit about a fight that we would all actually like to see happen... then the Alphabet Boys revert to type and split up the titles to maximise their sanctioning money.

Instead of seeing two of the best four heavyweights in the world fight each other .... we get two untested nobodies fighting for the WBOffal title, Joshua defend against china chinned Price, who doesn't believe in himself any more. Wilder is still injured, and then we somehow have Haye in the picture .... WHAT HAS HAYE EVER DONE TO DESErVE A SHOT?

When you lay it all out, this indeed has become about the worst case scenario, all four belts are being contested in about the weakest possible bouts possible. Wlad-Browne(WBA), AJ-Price(IBF), Parker-Ruiz(WBO), and with Wilder still out Stiverne-Povetkin for the #1 WBC slot. Its possible we won't get one really hoped for clash anytime soon. Luis Ortiz would be a great opponent for any of these guys, I don't even mind seeing Haye in the mix if he actually wants to fight.
