'WHY THE F*** do you want to box?' Carl Froch & Matt Macklin on Daniel Dubois v Anthony Joshua 2

[@martincolton32]

AJ has held the heavy weight division up for years with these rematches. A rematch should only take place if it’s a tight fight or a dodgy decision. Man got absolutely schooled by Usyk got a rematch. Got obliterated by Andy Ruiz got a rematch. Got destroyed by Triple D and he’s getting another rematch. He doesn’t deserve one.

[@AaronBallistic]

Fury held it up the most with 3 Wilder fights. Especially after the 2nd fight, was as one sided as you can get. They do it to maximise their payday.

[@martincolton32]

@@AaronBallistic Fury did hold it up for nearly two years avoiding Usyk like the plague. Man had to take 30% of the money to get the fight even though he’d 3 belts.

[@OneForTheNorth]

Why is AJ continually afforded excuse after excuse and a platform to perform that he doesn’t deserve? A challenger, and let’s not forget that’s what he was in the Dubois fight, was comprehensively beaten from pillar to post and yet there are those who are adamant he’s entitled to a rematch 😂 I understand that Hearn needs it because his fighters are falling like dominoes, but idiots like Spencer Oliver etc giving it “he deserves the rematch” Give me the logic?!

[@chrisnewell1065]

I agree he doesn't deserve the rematch. He was beat convincingly. He simply could not take dubios power.

[@TC8787-yq7og]

Because he sells more tickets than any other UK fighter - but he 100% doesn't deserve the Dubois rematch

[@johnpotter2218]

agree 100... and this 2 time champ BS on an unearned opportunity in a rematch clause then gets given another chance against dubois for 3x champion after wins against, well, no one of consequence , now thyre talking about another chance at 3x champion after losing, with yet another rematch ...thats actually AJs legacy, the rematch clause

I don’t believe they should be rematches in title fights because if you’re the champion and you win you have to fight again so if you lose the second fight you’re not the champ anymore, but you’re opponent is when it’s 1-1, if you lose in a title fight you should have to build yourself back again to get another opportunity

No, AJ doesn't deserve an immediate rematch. He was the challenger, and was convincingly beaten. Ali had to wait for 14 fights before rematching frazier, and 15 fights to challenge again (vs foreman). There's a mandatory, its his turn.

[@bombercountyblues]

Spot on everything but there being a mandatory.. kabayel and bakole have to fight first to decide that one.

[@paulandhisguitars]

@bombercountyblues I'm not sure how it works with the ibf, but in the old days when their was just one title, you could fight anyone in the top 10, provided that every 2nd fight the boxer ranked number 2 got a shot at the title. To me that seems like a fair system. So, if the mandatory is still to be decided, go down the ranks and find someone else. Zang or parker maybe, if they haven't got fights scheduled......but not AJ, he needs to earn the shot again. You don't earn a title shot by losing a title shot.

[@bombercountyblues]

@paulandhisguitars after fighting usyk, miller, hirgovic and joshua in the space of a year, I'd say dubois more than earned the right to rest up and wait while kabayel and bakole fight for the spot...

[@paulandhisguitars]

@@bombercountyblues yeah, I wasn't suggesting he had to book a fight tomorrow mate. And the point of booking a fight with a top 10 fighter (rather than a mandatory) was to give a champion the opportunity to have a slightly easier fight, a relatively easier payday. Doesnt always work out like that of course.

[@GaryBox]

Boxing hasn't been based on merit for ages. Those with the biggest following and best management get title shots before others who should be in front of them. Why would AJ deserve a world title fight in front of the likes of Zhang or Parker if we are basing it on last 3-4 fights? It's got even worse though recently with joke contests involving the likes of Jake Paul. Personally I want to see a return to a society based on merit in all things!

[@jasontoner7691]

100 % mate

[@markmarslandglowinggrowing8594]

Yes, because he went out on his shield like a warrior..rocked Dubois and was one big right away from a great comeback, after never fully recovering from that huge telegraphed from out of space right. AJ's heart was the only thing that made it an exciting fight..just my opinion, so YES! 🥊😎
