pittbox Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Re: Hearn rules out Price, names Joshua's 3 man short list - who should he fight? Parker wouldn't take this fight and I'm suspicious about Pulev. I think Stiverne is the most likely choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Re: Hearn rules out Price, names Joshua's 3 man short list - who should he fight? Yep. Stiverne is the obvious "most likely" opponent, from the viewpoint of both camps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I read something about that also, maybe a week ago. - But not definite, right? Has Sasha been cleared to fight yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Wilder fight was cancelled because... Hmm. You may be right, but I don't quite get it. (And don't tell me Wilder was afraid & looking for an excuse, that's not gonna' fly. :laugh: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Re: Hearn rules out Price, names Joshua's 3 man short list - who should he fight? Ah, I see now. The WBC caved in and decided to be cunts about the whole thing: (unbelievable) WBC decides not to ban Russian boxer Alexander Povetkin after positive drug test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selij Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Re: Hearn rules out Price, names Joshua's 3 man short list - who should he fight? Its a no-brainer. Stiverne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Re: Hearn rules out Price, names Joshua's 3 man short list - who should he fight? --- Stiverne is a punching bag to give him some rounds. That gets him a nice holiday season into the new year so he and Parker can be properly promoted. Be funny to watch the WBC scramble to scrape up someone to fight Povetkin after they and Wilder blew a huge fight to fight in Alabammy for local peanuts...dolts all.

Cableaddict Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Re: Hearn rules out Price, names Joshua's 3 man short list - who should he fight? --- Stiverne is a punching bag to give him some rounds. Yep. And yet, a punching bag with "former WBC champion" on his resume. Exactly the kind of opponent team Joshua loves. Also, I can just imagine, after AJ inevitable KO's Stiverne, how his people will brag no end how AJ did what Wilder couldn't. - Completely ignoring / forgetting that Wilder had a broken hand for almost that entire fight. (and still won.) The most interesting this about this fight, is trying to guess what obscure medical condition Stiverne will use this time, as an excuse for losing.

(and still won.) Wilder said he broke his hand in the fourth round - if Joshua beats Stiverne inside 2 rounds, that excuse is no longer relevant. Although it's kind of irrelevant anyway, because Wilder injures himself with his reckless technique. Edited August 25, 2016 by gavpowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
