I'd say it's more than likely. GGG has said he wants to fight in London and nobody else seems to want to fight him. It's a no lose situation for Eubank, as he'll make a shitload of cash in a fight he'll be expected to lose.

 

is BJS avoiding GGG also? Even a unification fight and a load of cash wouldn't tempt him?

BJS was mouthing off about fighting Golovkin, they made him an offer to fight and Saunders said the offer wasn't suitable at this time. Basically, he got called out and bitched it.

GGG is running out of credible opponents at MW by the sounds of it. Are they all avoiding him in the hope he steps up to SMW? How likely a step is that for GGG? He'd be quite small for that division would he not?

Saw a few posters describe him as a punchbag and it's a perfect description - though they move about more.

On Saturdays performance could be fair to say that he was a Glorified punchbag but Joshua made him look that way. Think aj is pretty quick and his boxing is improving all the time can see the top heavyweights avoiding him over the next few years

Really clean, quick punches from AJ. Looked a gulf in class anyway and that Breazale more used to dealing with lumbering big blokes.

Doubt that tbh, he's already one of the biggest money men in boxing anyone fighting him is going to be paid very well. Same reason no one avoided Floyd, obviously AJ isn't on that level financially but he's far more beatable

time will tell but imo Joshua beats them all , fury would be awkward but ajs power would overcome the gypsy King , hopefully get to see these fights sooner rather than later!

What about Fury/Haye's power on AJ's possibly suspect chin? Particularity Haye who is well known to be Heavy handed.

AJ's power will mean jizz all when he can't land a single punch on Fury's chin. Wlad couldn't get close and his footwork and jab are 100 times superior to Joshua's.

 

Agreed with what Haye was saying about Joshua telegraphing his punches as well. Would be fairly easy for a top level heavyweight to counter him unless he learns to feint and hide his shots a bit better.

 

I think those three would comfortably beat Joshua at the moment, and I think Fast Eddie is well aware of that as well. Can't see it getting booked any time soon.

Fury on points for me if they fought next. If he can beat the best in division for the past decade he can beat Joshua who still hasn't fought anyone of note. At 17 fights and a title belt it's time for Hearn to up Joshua's matchmaking so we can have more of an idea what he's like.

Fury doesn't get anything like enough respect for that Klitschko fight that was a monumental result for him and really good for the heavyweight division in general.

I don't go for P4P lists but can see why people would say that Klitschko was number 1 at the time.
