Hmmmm. So lets look at this objectively....
1. AJ should concede to all things Fury is requiring.
2. Usyk can not make the date and is injured
3. A 4th Wilder fight makes no sense and is too dangerous
4. Joyce is too dangerous too risk losing a unification chance to. Plus may not agree to short turnaround.
5. Are the old guard "B team" of Ruiz, Ortiz, Whyte, Chisora, Parker honestly any better at this point?
6. None of the other younger prospects are remotely ready or interesting. The old Chinese Olympian coming off a loss. Hrgovic looked bad in his lucky win. Anderson too young & is fresh off training with Fury. Hunter mehhh. That giant Russian looked bad in his wun as well.
If the plan is to stay busy until Usyk heals and AJ won't concede..... As crazy as it sounds its hard to fault him.
Im open to logical suggestions that might make sense that I missed. Lets hear them.
