Comments Thread For: Hearn: Right Now Joshua is Not at The Optimum Level He Could Be To Face Fury, Wilder

[Nusky]

This arrogant, pampered bodybuilder will be kept safe and sound away from Wilder. Doesn't mind continuing to use his name to try and keep his sheep following tuned into his garbage a$$ fights though.

One tuneup after the Usyk fight is forgivable. If This B---h fights Dillian H*e next- hopefully the drunk masses across the pond will go barhopping instead of supporting that garbage.

The next fight for Aj should be Hrgovic.
if he wins it puts him #1 IBF and top3 WBO.

When I look at AJ's career in totality the more it goes on it's becoming pretty clear that a lot of success he's had in the past could have mainly been contributed to his youth and size. One thing about boxing and sports in general is when u get older an start to enter your mid 30s and begin to slow down even ever so slightly in reflexes speed ect we as fans really begin to see how good your skills were all along.

It's why Pacquiao got clipped by Marquez and Floyd almost by Mosley when they were around AJ's same age now, but once they adjusted to operating at an older age, they both showed proved they were in fact those guys as they where able to still compete at an elite level even through their mid 30s which was amazing to watch live..

For all the hype he's gotten over the years, It's not looking good for AJ right now I see a guy closer to hanging it up at 33 like Bradley and Ward did and that may be best for AJ vs going out sad on his back, Fury an Wilder are dangerous for his style

I wouldn't mind Hrgovic at all.

If a step up fight is needed, than not whyte who is barely at Franklin's level!

[thack]

What Hearn is saying in his 'spin' here is Whyte looked so bad in his last two , barely scrapping a decision against ordinary Franklin and being KO'd by Fury (never wining a round!) he is actually bad enough to be good enough for Joshua's next opponent.
There are fighters out there Like Wilder , Joyce ,Fury even prospects Anderson and Sanchez that would be favoured to hammer him but at nearly 34 years of age , the fighter who's been called ' a work in progress' all of his career is still , apparently is a work in progress . Apart from shot Whyte none of the above would be entertained , whilst they try to manoeuvre him into a career ending mega payday 'pot of gold' as Joshua calls it with Tyson Fury fight ...rematch inc. for the mugs! Joshua and Whyte are done , let them have their rematch for the southern area title and be done .

All that name dropping only to scurry off yet again.
By all means spend the year fighting top 30s like Frank but stop the bs name dropping.
Then actually step up & fight Wilder, Joyce, Hrgovic, Sanchez heck even big Mak challenges this Aj.

I feel like Joshua is done, his chin is a huge liability and it affects him mentally a lot. He's fighting completely out of character because he's worried about getting hit, that's when you know a fighter is done. They should make the big fights as soon as possible so that he can retire.

[Boxingfanatic75]

But he needed no time to gel with Roberto huh..

looked much under Roberto against much much stiffer opposition..

the entire ordeal reeks of racism

Ahem, here we go again.

The stars don't align when 2 fighters fight usually. So when Josh is optimum in 2 fights time, there's no guarantee Tyson won't have dropped off a level!
Josh and fury need to fight, as do wilder and josh. Whoever stops ducking first.
Whatever big fights that can be made should be made whenever possible. Fighting is all about how you are on that day.
