Comments Thread For: Hearn: AJ Probably Could've Skipped Usyk And Fought Fury, But He Wants To Win His Belts Back

[tokon]

Joshua deserves credit for fighting his mandatory, after exploring every other option? Really eddy?!!

Yes, josh was favourite v ruiz in rematch but not v usyk, interesting. It's like they think ruiz landed a lucky punch?
But Josh should win rematch he was big favourite in first fight, and was upset. You don't necessarily get upset twice in a row, but now you saying it won't be upset now as usyk is favourite?

Joshua was favourite purely due to hype and Usyk being untested at heavyweight.

He's been tested now vs AJ himself and won easily.

Joshua v Ruiz looked like a freak concussion, he was always going to win the rematch if he boxed safety first.

Ruiz being a junk food gorging wreck going into the rematch was a big factor in AJ winning.

If he weighed the same as the first fight it would have been the same result because unless Ruiz gets himself down to 230 or lower he's never going to have any footspeed. All the trouble he gave Joshua was when Joshua planted his feet and exchanged and/or when joshua was hurt after an exchange.

Ruiz just doesn't have the feet to close down a runner who is being safety first and not giving him anything to exchange with, he's not that kind of fighter.

This favourite business is only opinion but you need to prove it. So usyk favourite but pressure on him now in repeating it.
Many said they thought jmm beat pac, yet Pac was favourite in rematches. Makes you think did people really think jmm beat pac?

Joshua has ZERO chance to beat usyk

UK coward fury will fight AJ coming off a loss and never fight Usyk.

Some free advice: don't ever become a bookmaker. You don't understand how probability works.

Nah Eddie! He had to fight Usyk, or Fury would've fought Usyk for all the marbles!

Fury had the chance to fight Usyk for all the belts but he wanted to fight Whyte first. Whether AJ has the belts or not, Fury vs AJ will probably make more money for Fury than an undisputed fight with Usyk.

Robot boy couldn’t beat Fury on his worst day.

I'd say that Fury could decide to face AJ even if he loses again
