Comments Thread For: Hearn: We'll Either Make Deal For Joshua-Usyk Or AJ Will Vacate; Won't Go To Purse Bid

[STREET CLEANER]

At one time Hearn said that he had Wilder where he wanted him and he was trapped. Now he didn't get Fury and is ready to vacate if things don't go there way. So much for having control.

Hearn doesn't seem to have any faith in AJ since the Ruiz loss.

I think this is a good fight for him to take as it has the potential to answer a lot of questions, but the issue for me is the team and corner.

If this fight happens I don't want to see AJ dancing around trying to avoid contact. He's the far bigger and stronger man with the far harder punch. He should be hoping for as much contact as possible.

Time to get the Joshua vs Usyk fight on.

Aj get this done and knock this dude out in September. Push hearn to make this happen.

Usyk is good but his lack of punching power makes him non threatening to AJ. There's no reason to avoid this fight, unless AJ doesn't have any balls.

The Hearn siren song. Less is best, if Eddy has to pay for it. The prince must not be interested. Should Usyk win by brutal KO, he'll get payed better for the rematch, but still not as much as AJ.

This fight is waste of time trash worse than the Pulev fight. DAZN has not had a good fight this year and have nothing good scheduled.

I hope Hearn ain’t frontin’, trying to cover the fact he doesn’t want to put that shiny priceless robot into the ring with something that can rust it in 6 rnds.

Usyk is no walkover no matter how feather light people make him out to be, or want him to be.....he’s a superb boxer that will be ready to put up a challenge with whatever comes his way.....

Heck, I dig watching fighters like Usyk chop down trees....his flava is what boxing is mostly about - the art form....boring rock em sock em sluggers come a dime a dozen and end up slurring before they get back to the locker room.

[Corelone]

Usyk's lack of power is off set by AJs crystal skull. Andy kept stinging him, it's more about speed and accuracy than power.

AJ has real concern he might not beat cruiswerweight Usyk and is insistent on that rematch clause. This shows his confidence after Ruiz 1 has not returned.
