Comments Thread For: Hearn Says Joshua vs. Franklin Is 'Gonna Be a Great Fight,' Lashes Out at 'Haters'

[Oldskoolg]

For those who have suffered the heartbreak of loved ones succumbing to mental illness - this is what it looks like

this man speaketh the truth. Veritas and nothing more. Sad to see how Hearn has fallen to a second rate promoter who doesn’t even try to hide his lies anymore. But oh well, “time to put the kettle on” right hearn sycophants?

This match up is only news at the moment as butt lovers protect it and realist see it clearly for what it is , a pretty poor match up for fighter who claims to be so much better than such calibre fighters.When the main event is shortly announced Fury v Usyk this shyte will pale in to the insignificance it deserves.

Let him have his tune up fight. He just lost 2 in a row. Why are fans so mad?

Franklin is a top 10 heavyweight

He’s not. Get some rest old man. You’ve become senile.

Again, Joshua deserves a tune up at this point. I mean, Fury fought Chisora in his last fight. For WBC belt. Joshua has no obligation, he has no belt.

It is a solid fight, Franklin looks like a solid fringe contender level guy.

Hearn talking bout “haters” lmao. Just say what it is. He’s not fighting a top guy after his last 2 fights that’s fair. Hearn talking like it’s some decent fight lol. Franklin not a bum but he’s not great. Even if u think he beat whyte whyte is shot and AJ beat whyte years ago so that don’t really make this competitive

[wrecksracer]

Former Michigander here. Come on Franklin!

I'm an open hater of Edward & his paper belts hypejob, no secret. But this is the type of match up Aj should be having.
But to call it a great fight is just the smug prick car salesman calling a cortina a ferrari.

With Joshua we've been promised so much and given so little , so I can understand why people are so frustrated with being sold this as a 'great fight' by this idiot.Joshua is knocking on 34 now and he's looking at his 'big' summer fight at Wembley Stadium against a guy he KO'd 7 years ago and has been KO'd twice since and was lucky to sc**** by this mediocre fighter with who Joshua is now facing in this 'great fight' ...if it turns out that way then Joshua should buy a boat and do one.

Because a tuneup fight should have happened months ago. Instead it's a tune up after seven months while they're claiming it's against a top 10 opponent, and a good fight.


Also, "Tune Ups" used to be done a month or two before a big fight. Now it's a tune up after seven months, and then they'll be another six months until his next fight.
