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

[Jab jab boom]

Hearn knows that many boxing fans are simple minded and once they cross into the lane of fan to groupie, they will support trash fights and foolishly believe their favorite fighter is better than he really is. As a result, Hearn will milk Aj a bit more while the gullible fan boys think that somehow Aj will transform into the fighter they foolishly believed he was. Once that well is dry , hearn will finalize the process of cashing him out

The funniest was after the usyk fight. After AJs rant he tried to appeal to the Saudis by dropping a “bismallah!” It was beyond painful.

It wasn’t any more embarrassing than Fury - who constantly yammers on and on about “me mental health” - putting out that painfully cringey rant after Usyk pulled out of their fight. You know, the video in which Fury kept struggling and struggling to think up different profane insults for Usyk. Just look at that video and you can just see the wheels spinning in Fury’s brain as he keeps trying to think up insults after “you little….” Oh, yeah, Fury’s some ambassador for mental health, alright! Lol!

How is it smart to have your guy wait 8 months for another fight? Take a pay cut if that is what it is and have another fight in the Summer. Fight Chisora or Whyte then go for Fury in December.

Actually I think this all makes sense - I think there’s a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes and it makes sense for AJ to wait a bit and not waste time or risk things with a meaningless Whyte fight. I think when it all shakes out, Wilder and Usyk will fight in September and AJ-Fury will fight in December - with both fights in Saudi Arabia. That’s worth the wait to me.

It only makes sense if you don't mind being mugged.Joshua was supposed to fight in Jan, then it ends up being April ,then three times this year, now , just next Christmas but just say your'e right and he gets a shot from Fury next Christmas having only fought once in the year against a poor to average opponent , that's worth the wait is it ! If they stick to this plan with no more fights this year ,then I really hope he doesn't get that 'pot of gold' against Fury as that 'fight' would end much quicker than even I thought possible and you'll feel like you've been mugged....it's total laughable , ridiculous ...a work in progress !

Heard he broke his nose against Franklin

Note to Eddie Hearn. We don't want to see Joshua vs Whyte again, no thanks.

Maybe some don't mind it, but I don't think most people want to see it.

During Mike Tyson's rise, even before his first professional bout 'Tyson was fighting on the club circuit'.

There is nothing stopping Joshua from fighting in his gym for real 'Behind closed doors'.

I have always stated that the real work gets done in the gym, Joshua in reality is not going to be inactive for 8 months 'Joshua is going to be training'.

But I like the idea of club fights behind closed doors, there are many ways fighters can train and work on aspects of their game.

Note: The only gym what I have seen in america, that has this kind of set up 'Is Floyd Mayweather Junior's gym'.

He should fight Filip
