Scott Quiggs response..

@RigoElChacal305 you ducked me fake people getting involed in boxing call outs. hehe.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Ha that is a good response.

If Rigo wants Frampton, and it is a thing that Frampton does not want Rigo a la BJS and GGG, then Rigo should target the best that Frampton has already fought and/or the best from the rest out there in sort of a "I beat those you beat only better" kind of way if he wants to really force through the fight.

That way he would create a bigger money fight and get Frampton into the ring with the promise of a big pay day

Watched De Wilders fight last week whilst I was in a bar in the USA

Hes gonna get battered if he fights Joshua

Don't rate Wilder all that highly myself, but to be fair to him he won that fight whilst carrying some pretty bad injuries.

He fought with a broken right hand and his bicep also tore during the fight, He had a couple of surgeries for those injuries and it will probably be sometime next year before he is in a ring again.

Tyson Fury's fight with Wlad was postponed because Fury was given a provisional suspension by UKAD relating to a test from March 2015?!?!

Oh Tyson if only you were an Olympic Cyclist

[Doc_Piptorious]

The suspension has been lifted. There will be a hearing but until then he is no longer suspended. So the fight is still on.


Did find it funny that Tyson and Hughie both complained through a lawyer that bad/abusive language was used towards them on twitter. Guess it is ok to talk **** but not ok when it comes back in your own direction.

He looked slow to me

He actually got hit frequently by the other bloke

He cant afford to get hit by Joshua

To be honest I think Joshua is the best heavyweight around by a long long way

Really?

I think if Joshua were to fight Fury, Wlad or Povetkin at any point this year he'd get beaten quite handily.

Fights against Luis Ortiz and Wilder would be real 50/50 pick ems.

In a couole if years however there's every chance he could be in Fury's shoes as the Heavyweight champ.

I think Haye gives Joshua a lot of trouble too.

The WBA-mandated fight between WBA interim heavyweight champion Luis Ortiz (25-0, 22 KOs) and Alexander Ustinov (33-1, 24 KOs) planned for the Canelo-Smith undercard on September 17 in Dallas is apparently off. “We are extremely disappointed to hear that despite agreeing terms, signing a contract and announcing a date for the WBA Interim Heavyweight Championship that Luis Ortiz is refusing to honor the agreement to fight on the 17th September and has withdrawn,” said Ustinov’s promoter Vlad Hrunov. “Golden Boy Promotions have acted with integrity and in good faith and I hear that Ortiz is now negotiating a termination of his contract with Golden Boy.”

On a heavyweight note, this is ****ing annoying, Cubans are so frustrating!! Makes no sense whatsoever. Unless he's been caught juicing yet again or something.

Yep right now Fury has to be seen as the best heavyweight in the world based on results. Joshua is not even close to him at present.

Wlad would be my number two and even after him there would be a few that I would fancy to beat Joshua at this stage of his career.

Then there would be three or four that would most likely be 50/50 fights against him.

Joshua is a top ten heavyweight right now, but where he ranks on that top ten is up for debate. For me he is somewhere between number five and number ten.

You could well be right that he has been caught again or is trying to avoid being caught.

Going by comments made by Ustinov’s people to the media and also by reps for GB promotions it would appear that Ortiz has been very difficult during negotiations and seemingly very problematic to deal with.

[Doc_Piptorious]

I think Haye gives Joshua a lot of trouble too.

Haye is the one "name" heavyweight that I think Joshua would be comfortable against. Haye would bottle it once the bell rang and do his usual go backwards against a big man tactic.

Haye against any sort of decent big man seems to see him go into a scared to win if trying to win means taking a risk mode.
