That’s all you’ve contributed to the thread, the first three rounds. He didn’t win the first three rounds, apart the suspect judge who somehow had him winning that fight.

Two of the judges also gave him the third. You didn't. Swings and roundabouts.

Tbh, Usyk was out on his feet in Round 9 - it almost was matterless and out of the corrupt judge(s) hands wasn't it

His highest ranked win is Pulev who lost to unranked Chisora so imagine where AJ will end up in the rankings :eek:

Boxing is 90% marketing and having a brand rather than having skill - That's how the likes of the Paul Brothers and KSI etc are making millions from Boxing - his manufactured brand was the best heavyweight in the world which he's not.

He's 32 with no brand, no marketing and he's not the best heavyweight in the world, he's arguably not even top 5 as Wallin, Hunter etc would cause problems.
And say he offered a fight to the listed names, what does he have to offer them to risk Hunter's undefeated record? Absolutely nothing.

He's fucked it in America, he's not exactly revered in either the UK or Europe, he's fucked it in the Middle East now. So where are his last big paydays? A fight in Beijing or Auckland

Don't agree with that mate. His brand wasn't about being the best heavyweight, his brand was that he was good looking, chiselled and knocked people out for fun. He had the Instagram-ready catchphrases about being humble and hungry lions, like 'live, love, laugh' for men. He was a promoters dream, as not only did he attract coked-up LADS who wanted to get pissed, sing Sweet Caroline and see an easy knockout, he also attracted women who didn't really care about boxing but wanted to shag him.

A lot of the casuals have latched on to Fury instead, but he's still a huge name. He easily sells out any arena regardless of the opponent. Joshua vs Wilder does crazy money, even if Fury has taken Wilder's aura. Vs Whyte or Joyce are still stadium fights - not Wembley but certainly the Etihad or possibly Cardiff with the right promotion. Hunter, Wallin etc make more in one night vs AJ than they'll have made in their entire careers.

If Hearn is serious about him returning in December, which I don't think happens in a million years, then could England potentially play the quarter final on Saturday 10th then AJ PPV straight after once everyone has had a good drink.

But the question is, how much does he want it? He was so focused on becoming undisputed, that dream is over now, is it worth the hassle for him?
