Comments Thread For: Hearn on Joshua: 'I Need Him To Have Another Fight With Level Slightly Above Franklin'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eddie Hearn doesn't think there is any reason to shirk away from the fact that he feels his star charge needs more fine-tuning in the gym. The Matchroom head admitted in a recent interview that London's Anthony Joshua needs more time to grow with his new trainer Derrick James before he is thrown into the ring against either WBC heavyweight titlist Tyson Fury or former titlist Deontay Wilder.

This must be before AJs December post. Has he done any interviews after that

Whyte would be a good opponent but also dangerous one knowing that AJ is gun shy and he is fighting more carefully.

Hearn on Joshua: "I Need Him To Have Another Fight With Level Slightly Above Franklin".

Translation: I need him to fight maybe a cherry, then a plum, then maybe little old lady from Pasadena".

And then if he wins those 3 fights (in say the next 2 years), he'll be ready for a 'cash-out fight' with Wilder or Fury.

Hearn grows more and more irritating. Promoters are all walking a line of BS and truth to promote, comes with the job. But I don't know if it is Hearn's epic DAZN debacle, his **** licking of Canelo, the crap with Benn or how we can all see that Joshua is a washed up mental case now and that Hearn is dying inside to let Fury stomp AJ and cash him out....

At this point, Arum seems like a really honest and good person compared to Hearn. I kind of wish he would go away.

Do any of ya'll know why all of a sudden Joshua isn't fighting again until December ? I think that it's a terrible idea , he's not going to build confidence in the gym , he needs to be in the ring. I wonder if he's also seeing a sports psychologist . His biggest problem is between his ears.

Joshua should fight Ortiz , on second thought , no he shouldn't fight King Kong.

Exactly, "our company needs to bleed the paying public for a little bit more money before we cash this dude out."

With the way that Hearn shamelessly coddles him, AJ must be feeling like Rocky before the Clubber Lang fight. His self-belief and confidence must be on the floor.
