Comments Thread For: Hearn Won't Rush Anthony Joshua To Fury, Haye Bouts

Who has Adam Booth trained? I'm just curious. To be fair to booth, he's very selective in who he works with, he doesn't ever have a lot of fighters like some trainers. He did train Haye who is a 2 weight world champ and the only man to be Cruiserweight and Heavyweight champ since Holyfield. Not bad. Currently has Andy Lee who is a champion and Eubank Jr. who is now mandatory for Jacobs. The he had Groves who is no bum but just short of world level i think but he was better with Booth i think. So i wouldn't say he's trained a lot of good fighters but he does not train many at all anyway, and those he does train full time seem to do pretty well. The issue with Booth's fighters, though, is the absence roadwork. Haye and Groves were so similarly styled - all about fighting in short, explosive bursts. The same looks to be the case with Eubank Jr. Joshua should steer clear, IMO.

Hand on a minute Eddie, a few months ago you claimed that AJ was the best HW on the planet, and would wreck Fury/Klitschko/Haye right now. http://www.boxingnewsonline.net/anthony-joshua-could-fight-tyson-fury-in-april-2016/ Eddie Hearn is full of sh1t. Yes, that's typical Hearn. At least AJ has been consistent in his views.

I think Joshua could do with a trainer like Adam Booth. Booth has proven himself time and time again as an elite trainer that understands the game and can read a fight. Who has Adam Booth trained? I'm just curious.

yeah they siad this year theyd be going for a title haha, i knew they wouldnt, i bet he wouldnt get a world title by 2016's end , now im starting to think will he ever be able to get one! why because he got wobbled ? if anything that showed me more than him steam rolling everybody in 2 he took a big shot road it out and then knocked whyte out imo you cant ask for much more than that think of fury , wilder , klitchko povetkin ect all have been shaken badly I would be seriously shocked if aj didn't pick up multiple world titles

Hearn is many things, but stupid isn't one of them. The outlandish statements about Joshua are just to drive up the hype and sell more tickets/PPV. It's not hard to find clips of him contradicting himself from one month to the next. I can see them targetting the IBF belt to claim he is a 'world champion', but he will not put Joshua nowhere near Fury any time soon.
