Miller was dangerous, powerful, youngish and unbeaten. But Joshua was rightly a strong favourite, it was a sensible choice for that first US fight.Let’s be honest Ruiz (and his original opponent) were hand picked by Hearn as as a gimme to launch AJ to the lucrative US market.
Of course he was hand pickedMiller was dangerous, powerful, youngish and unbeaten. But Joshua was rightly a strong favourite, it was a sensible choice for that first US fight.
As a backup Ruiz was a very difficult opponent, only a defeat on point to Parker on his record. As a last minute stand in he was far from handpicked.
He beat him because he outboxed him, would he have outboxed him if Ruiz was in better condition, who knows that's supposition. Joshua beat what was in fron tof him.In June 2019, Joshua lost to Andy Ruiz Jr. (aka Fat Andy) by TKO, and he won a rematch primarily because Ruiz weighed a staggering 283 pounds and Joshua refused to brawl on his way to a unanimous decision.
If he fights Charr in December will you still be defending him?Stopped reading after that utter nonsense.
He's fighting Charr because AJ (in Fury's terms) 'is a massive sh*thouse'.If he fights Charr in December will you still be defending him?
Even his own promoter is saying the fight with Joshua can still be made and negotiations or progressing.He's fighting Charr because AJ (in Fury's terms) 'is a massive sh*thouse'.
Usyk won't fight until next year. So what else is there for Fury in Dec?
He clearly wanted to fight AJ and he gave him a quite staggering offer...an offer AJ doesn't deserve...and AJ has ran away as usual.
Not much more Fury can do.
At least he has a mouth.Even his own promoter is saying the fight with Joshua can still be made and negotiations or progressing.
If you believe everything that comes out of Fury's mouth then there is absolutely no point even debating it with you.
By setting daft deadlines, Fury is the one stopping the fight from happening. Anyone with half a brain can see that.

If you read the post correctly you would see I said once he's got hold of the belts.TBF I'm happy to stop debating with someone who thinks Fury doesn't take the big fights when he's a two time world heavyweight champion.
Keep spouting b0llocks though.
Agree. Would be a good fight.Based on recent form I think Joyce beats AJ.
He won the WBC from Wilder.If you read the post correctly you would see I said once he's got hold of the belts.
Marv, you've also accused Joshua of not wanting the big fight with Fury, despite Joshua also being a two time champ. Consistency is important.TBF I'm happy to stop debating with someone who thinks Fury doesn't take the big fights when he's a two time world heavyweight champion.
He won the WBC from Wilder.
Defended it against Wilder. (all 3 times he fought Wilder were in the USA)
Then faced the mandatory challenger (Whyte) and beat him.
And now he's outing AJ who is clearly dodging him.
But you carry on saying he doesn't take on the big fights.
nobody knows the truth on this. Fury has form for spouting a lot of nonsense, Joshua doesn't. I remember Joshua saying he offered Wilder his biggest fight ever, and Wilder saying it was BS. People piled on Joshua.And now he's outing AJ who is clearly dodging him.
I don’t think we can say that any more.Fury has form for spouting a lot of nonsense, Joshua doesn't.
100%. AJ is a prikk. Don't like the bloke at all.At least he has a mouth.
AJ is just hearns puppet
Btw as for reputations being damaged I think AJ’s bizarre outburst has more than won that debate.
Of course we can, nobody knows the reality of what was offered, and what the Joshua team response was. I do know that 95% of what comes out of Fury's mouth is for effectI don’t think we can say that any more.
