future
The discussion kicks off with Joshua's shocking defeat to Dubois, where many fans express disbelief over his performance. Critics highlight Joshua's form since his losses to Usyk, suggesting that he appeared gun-shy, lacking the aggression needed in the ring. There is a palpable sense of anxiety among the commentators about Joshua's future in the sport, especially considering the multitude of knockdowns he suffered during the fight.12
As the conversation unfolds, opinions diverge on the implications of Joshua's performance. Some argue that this may signal the end of his career, emphasizing the need for him to reassess his approach or contemplate retirement. Others criticize the lack of urgency in his corner, feeling that they should have pulled him from such a one-sided contest earlier.34
The sentiment shifts slightly as fans begin to discuss potential next steps for Joshua. While some believe he may not have the skill set to reclaim his status, others hold out hope for a comeback. Dubois, credited for his impressive performance, raises questions about how Joshua will deal with future matchups against formidable opponents.56
"Dubios destroyed him there. That was a brilliant performance."
"Thought he was going to stage a comeback them ooof."
Verdict
Overall, the thread reveals deep concerns regarding Joshua's boxing future. While Dubois is praised, Joshua's viability as a top contender remains in serious doubt. His next steps will likely determine his legacy and potential return to form.
I'm no fan of either but hope Canelo sparks Saunders.
Josh Warrington took an absolute beating tonight from Mauricio Lara in what will be regarded a shock.
The ref and corner did Warrington no favours, the fight should have been stopped in the 4th when Warrington took a massive beating. That could have effectively ended his career.

Warrington put in a hell of a graft. His power was not as damaging as Lara's. The referee possibly could have called it in round 4, but had he, you can bet folks be slating him for premature stoppage. Incredible Warrington then survived 4 more rounds, as well as fighting so hard in them.

The end to the Berchelt/Valdez fight was absolutely brutal.

Manny Pacquiao, one of the greatest boxers of all time, is in discussions to fight welterweight champion Terence Crawford on June 5 in Abu Dhabi.
Top Rank has informed its network partner, ESPN, and pay-per-view distributor In Demand to hold June 5 for the potential fight it's exploring between Pacquiao and Crawford, sources said. Crawford would easily represent Pacquiao's biggest challenge since he met Floyd Mayweather in a 2015 super fight that shattered revenue records.

Sad to see Carl Frampton's career come to the end that it did on Saturday. He should have called it a day after the Warrington fight in 2018.
Totally outclassed by Herring on Saturday and retiring is the right decision. His legacy is cemented and fighting on may have put him in danger of serious injury.

Cracking performance from Connor Benn on Saturday night. Caught the lad cold and clinical. Cracking improvement. I'd keep him away for the top-lads for another couple or 3 fights though.
Be good if he can drop the chip on his shoulder too........tad more balance.

Anyone watch Canelo vs Saunders?
BJS gave a good account of himself up to the stoppage. Crushing to finish on the stool, but it was the right decision if the reports of the orbital bone are true.
I can't see anyone beating Canelo. If he fights Caleb Plant he will destroy him and with it unify the division.
