Why should AJ fight the winner? lol. He isn't at that level to do that now, fallen down the ladder. What a joke. What injury? Lies

[@Inmyownleague]

So when one of parker or dubois loses are you going to say they're not at that level now. 😂😂😂

Aj now has 4 losses and was knocked out badly by dubois unfortunately for joshua there is no more charles martin to buy a belt off

[@hassnatahmad5339]

We have to understand this is heavyweight boxing and one shot is all it takes. We can’t write these guys off too quickly. Didn’t Lennox Lewis get battered by Hasim Rahman and Oliver Mccal, fighters who are nowhere near the calibre of Lewis.

[@truebornafrican9213]

@@hassnatahmad5339 Lewis is a different story compared to AJ . The fights Lewis lost where fights that either a punch caught him out or it was lucky for the victor as I remembered Frank Bruno teaching Lewis a lesson and he came back to win that fight ..AJ has been beaten none stop and the last fight … he was taught a lesson by Dubois . He should pack it in now … Tyson is not ready to sell anymore tickets for the cash cows ..

Plus he isn't a top 5 heavyweight in my eyes hes got the wilder fight at best and doesn't deserve a fury fight unless aj can get a win or fury gets another loss

[@NothingElseMattersJM]

Wilder AJ is a good fight. Give Wilder one last big hoorah before he turns 40.

[@HisExcellencyB]

If Parker beats Dubois, there's a rematch clause. Eddie knows this. And if Dubois wins, he has a mandatory. Eddie also knows this. That's why Joshua bottled it from the DDD rematch. He won't be fighting the winner of that fight.

[@chrisnewell1065]

Eddie does know this..

[@hassnatahmad5339]

AJ can always fight the winners of Zhang vs Kabayel or Bakole vs Ajagbe. I don’t want to see AJ vs Wilder. Wilder is a shadow of his former glory. I don’t want to see AJ in with an easy touch. Tbh I wouldn’t mind seeing AJ vs Hirgovic. That would be a great step up for AJ to get his groove back.

@hassnatahmad5339 Yeah, AJ vs. any of them would be good..

True. Anthony Joshua is going to duck Dubois again. Eddie said that AJ would fight Dubois in May 2025 when he's injury free😂

Sick of all these rematch clauses. Especially for boring fights like Dubois Parker. Im glad AJ broke the trend by not forcing a rematch in his last fight. It's always down to AJ to lead the HW division into greatness. Best of his era

[@Anthony.Joshuas.Irish.Grandma]

Bakolie has been calling AJ out for 4 years. Joshua ducked him in 2023 to fight factory worker Franklin and old man Helenius

Bakole will ko AJ quicker than dubois did, AJ has a glass chin, always has, can't take big shots, Bakole will embarrass AJ.

Anthony Joshua has damaged boxing by ducking Wilder and Fury his entire career. He ducked Dubois rematch, fought old men, conned the public with his fake humble persona and used PR bots and trolls on social media to defend his duck moves. Joshua kept lying to the fans through Eddie. He was fighting just 1 mandatory every 3 years for each belt during his time as champion

Ok.

[@hassnatahmad5339]

When fighters lose to Usyk, people are too quick to write them off. I don’t think most people understand the type of fighter Usyk is, we are talking about an all time great here. Usyk is a generational talent . He even is considered a top 3 heavyweight of all time by some experts and pundits. Fury put in two very good fights with Usyk. I remember after AJ lost to Usyk twice, a lot of people wrote AJ off, but I knew back then Usyk is something special. In all honesty, AJ and Fury both put in very good fights with Usyk in the 48 rounds they’ve shared with him. Usyk is the type of fighter where, if you even win a few rounds against him, is enough to class you as a great fighter.

[@Anthony.Joshuas.Irish.Grandma]

Anthony Joshua is a hypejob and manufactured fighter. He quit against Ruiz who is a B level fighter. Dubois got stopped by Joyce and went life and death against Kevin Lerena but sparked out Anthony Joshua.

Jeez, 'shyester' Eddie talking rubbish again, Joshua is NOT desperate to fight D D B, everyone knows the result of a rematch, including 'shyester' & Joshua, & that's why the rematch will not happen,the fake injury was more bull from 'shyester', but if he thinks that a fight with Parker or Bakole is the easier option, then he is in for a rude awakening, they both beat him, & so do Zhiang & Kabayel. Somehow i think that he will push for a Dylian White fight, because he sees that as the easiest fight, anything to avoid another defeat for his cash cow. From what i have seen, there are just too many fighters in the division who beat Joshua, & that's the problem that he has, there's no getting away from that fact ! !.

Parker is a better boxer and is certainly durable. However Dubois is a bigger puncher and is on a HUGE confidence train from his last few fights, AJ being the crown jewel performance. Plus he has ulterior motivation as he's desperate to rematch Usyk. I'm leaning towards Dubois but am not writing off Parker at all. We'll see!

Tyson could stay retired or call the shots ! Eddie did not want to know in the past and always wanted Tyson to have the short end of the stick. Stay retired and enjoy life, nothing left to prove. AJ avoided big fighters at their peak (Wilder, Fury) and Dubois is now ignored due to KOing AJ and the declining the rematch clause. AJ is good just not at his best anymore. AJ should fight Dubois

[@stinger2214]

Stop begging eddy , you and aj had 8+ years as the clear A_side to give the fans the fury & wilder when they were actually meaningful, but you instead you chose to push them to back end of AJ' career as a cashout & hoping age those fighters out. AJ doesnt deserve those fights & they're meaninglessness now. Meaningful fights for AJ Dubois 2 Ruiz 3 Moses Itauma (pass the baton)

Some good ideas there, but AJ doesn't have the baton, The Cat does.
