Anthony Joshua starting to get on my nerves with all this bumpin' of the gums, yet doing everything he can to not have to fight Wilder. Hoe ? if you ask me. He saying Wilder should move on without talking ? from Ortiz poppin' positive for a banned substance. He forget that's 3 fighters in a row who was cheatin'.
I wonder if he'd say the same if his last 3 potential opponents were all taking banned substances to help beat him. Plus, the logical opponent after Pulev pulled out would have been a rematch with Whyte, who was already on the undercard. Instead you target a ? who ain't been training and took the fight on 3 weeks notice. Hoe ? .
He tried to get Whyte as the replacement first. And the guy he’s been fighting has been training for Joshua longer than Joshua has been training for him. He’s been on standby -
Andrade vacated his,WBA,belt

http://www.boxingscene.com/pacquiao-bad-news-horn-rematch-secured-by-brisbane--121717Pacquiao Has Bad News - Horn Rematch Secured By Brisbane
Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38 KOs) has been out of the ring since suffering an upset unanimous decision loss to Jeff Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs) back in July. With the victory, Horn captured Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title.
The fight took place before a crowd of 51,000 at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia.
The outcome was viewed as controversial - with many experts disagreeing with the scores and stamping Pacquiao as the true winner of the contest.
There were numerous protests from Pacquiao and his camp, but the WBO conducted and investigation and issued a ruling that backed the scoring.
A rematch was scheduled to take place in November, but Pacquiao withdrew - citing conflicts with his political career as a senator in the Philippines.
Pacquiao made it very clear to his promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, that he would never return to Australia for a rematch with Horn.
But there was a huge problem, as Arum explained on numerous occasions, there was a contract agreement which gave Brisbane the first ? to secure the rights to Pacquiao-Horn rematch.
Another problem, no other location was offering as much money as Brisbane to secure the fight.
On Monday, during a press conference with the media, Horn's promoter Dean Lonergan confirmed Brisbane had officially secured the rights to host the Australian's rematch with Pacquiao.
Lonergan confirmed if Pacquiao finally did agree to a rematch, it could only take place in Brisbane.
"The only problem we do have is our good friend Mr Pacquiao who is never as easy we would like him to be," Lonergan said.
"We will work with him for the next few months to get that fight down here."
There is no word if Pacquiao still intends to pursue the Horn rematch. With Brisbane being finalized as the official location, the chances of the rematch coming off is slim. There is also no indication on whether or not Pacquiao plans to fight again. Pacquiao, who turns 39 before the year is out, could very well retire. -

Dean Lonergan, promoter for WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs), has verbally unloaded on WBC, WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman (28-0, 22 KOs).
Lonergan was angered after reading some of the recent statements that were made Thurman, who basically said Horn was a non-factor in the welterweight division.
“Unification doesn’t happen except for right here [in the United States]. Ain’t no one worrying about Jeff Horn. That’s real talk,” Thurman said.
Horn makes the first defense of his title, on Australian soil, in December, when he faces Englishman Gary “The Hellraiser’’ Corcoran in Brisbane.
He captured the WBO title back in July with shocking upset decision over eight division champion Manny Pacquiao before a crowd of 51,000 at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium.
Thurman became a unified champion earlier this year, with a twelve round decision over Danny Garcia. He suffered an injury in the bout and spent most of this year on the bench. He plans to return to the ring in the first half of 2018.
Horn is looking to get Concoran out of the way and then move forward to a major fight next year - either against Pacquiao in a rematch or a title defense against Terence Crawford, who is moving up to 147-pounds.
Lonergan believes it is Thurman who is currently irrelevant in the division and openly dares him to come over to Australia for a unification with Horn - promising that Thurman will get sent packing in the same manner that Pacquiao did.
“Keith Thurman right now is an irrelevance,” Lonergan said to the Australian.
“If at any stage Thurman wants to come to Brisbane to try and unify the titles, he will get the same warm welcome and outcome that was served up to our good friend Mr Pacquiao.
“The Hornet is the world’s strongest welterweight and is open to any and all challenges. Should Keith Thurman want to make the mistake of getting into a fight he won’t win and get the thrashing he ... deserves. He should man up and get his promoters to call me, rather than talk tough from 9000 miles away.”
