Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Would Favor Usyk To Beat Fury, I Just Think He's So Good

Hmm I think Eddie just doesn't like Fury.

But if Tyson was his fighter, you know he'd give the exact opposite opinion. Having said that, Usyk wouldn't be as easy to beat as many think.

No....Eddie's just on the Usyk bandwagon. He's gonna pump AJ into a few lower tier fights to recoup some money for DAZN to keep them in favour...but he knows AJ is a long way out of the title picture now. Fury would never sign onto one of his promotions...so he's throwing some butter Usyks way.

I knew Eddie wouldn’t be able to hide his bitterness. Well one thing is for sure. Eddie will be frozen out watching the fight at his daddy’s sprawling estate. IF Fury wins, eddies whole “we lost to the very best P4P” goes up in smoke like eddies career at the highest level.

Eddie loves heavyweight more than anything. The one thing he wanted in life won’t happen for him. That’s great. The way he’s treat guys like Dave Allen etc is disgusting. Karma has finally come around.

also they know then that Joshua isn’t even the 3 rd best HW of his era! Eddie needs to make the wilder fight and realise he doesn’t dictate terms. Wilder / AJ is now 50/50. Easy to make. Let’s see the excuses.

Joshua will either fight Whyte, Kownacki or Trevor Bryan.

Fury batters Usyk on Eddie knows it. I like the lad he seems like a decent guy outside of promoting but he’s talking out of his arse here

Hearn will never give any credit to Tyson, and you know that after Fury wins, he'll claim that AJ took a lot out of Usyk and he wasn't the same fighter.

This is Eddie and Joshua fans too a T.

when you prove to them that they’re wrong and what they’re saying is baloney. You literally get “ so what. I like Joshua and even though you proven to me I’m wrong, I’m going to continue to talk rubbish like I know what I’m talking about. So like, SO WHAT!?

The CULT IS OVER.

[P to the J]

Obviously Eddie Hills is gonna say the man that’s just beat his man is world no.1.

Pretty sure the whole schtick of putting Fury at no.1 and Wilder no.2 for ages was borne of a similar interest: my man lost to the best, or my man beat the second best.

Big deal.

More important here are the opinions of verified boxing experts with no commercial stake in the fight…. that’s right: the brave posters of Boxing scene, especially me.

Exactly

The same Eddie that said Fury v Wilder 1 definitely wasn’t happening. Then Eddie said Wilder will flatten him.

The same Eddie that said Whyte was playing mind games with Fury and going to knock him out. All along Fury was playing with Whyte, had him starstruck and under control and literally making Whyte dance at the weigh in, when you ever see Whyte like that? - then he knocked him out without getting out of second gear.

Fury will smash Usyk and Eddie will be saying Usyk is getting old and those AJ fights took something from him.

The truth is Eddie would have loved to promote Fury. He knows deep down who the best is.

Usyk is good and would easily outbox whyte, but it will be almost impossibile for him to beat fury. He can try to reach a draw, but if even aj was able to hit him, fury will three times as much.
