Anthony "HYPE" Joshua won't make it outside UK

True.

I agree with Brock. He is Amir Khan without the fun style or funny way with a phrase. All business and milking the stadiums for what he can get. His biggest win is life and death with a 41 year old who has always been chinny and safety first. It will be very amusing when Wilder batters him down. Unless someone gets there first of course. Wilder won't let him off the hook. He is awkward, odd and is athletic and can let his hands go. Wlad couldn't as he had stamina issues even in his 20's.

I am hardly AJ's biggest fan but for people to be calling him out for having only one win on his record is funny.

AJ has had 21 fights and his standout victory was a life and death fight with a 41 year old

Wilder has had 40 fights and his standout victory was a life and death with a 58 year old

The media machine may have caused AJ to stall in the respect that his fights are carefully manufactured to maximise gain and minimise risk but his last 4 or 5 fights have been a world away from Wilder who recently rematched Stiverne.

I'm hearing that AJ/ Whyte is all but done for April. Probably an agreement in principle at this stage.

Joshua doesnt have to fight outside the UK ever.

Considering the 50Mliiion offer got rejected. Perhaps he'd head to the US for 100million, but it wouldnt be for Wilder if Tyson beats him.

And this would be a good thing for boxing how.

This is precisely what's wrong with heavyweight boxing right now. AJ won't cross the Atlantic.... and Wilder balks at leaving Alabama. WTF?!?

Hopefully the Wilder-Fury fight goes through as promised, 'cause it'll at least throw some egg on Team Joshua's face.

It's not good for boxing. It's the reality, unfortunately. Its the Klitschko situation with fighting in Germany almost all of the time.

Brock do not make new threads about AJ, stick to this one if you must.

[brocktonblockbust]

@Master I had not remembered about this one thanks for merging the two

lolz Buckingbrocko, you may need to check in with your local quack and get your memory tested

Anyways, I see flaws in both Wilder and AJ which is what makes it such a great fight (if it is made) I don't think anyone can be 100% confident of the outcome.

At the moment I am leaning towards AJ to beat Wilder but no doubt if Wilder puts on a show against Fury then I'll swing back to Wilder...If Fury wins then that puts a whole new spin on it but I'm not really considering him at the minute because I still think it is too soon for him following his comeback and possibly too late for him to ever get back to his peak.
