Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Joshua Beats Wallin, He Puts Himself In Line To Fight Hrgovic For Vacant Title

[OldTerry]

Let’s hope we get to see it and find out!

It is a very big money fight and one that both Wilder and Joshua can cash out on. I think that might make it happen, if nothing else will.

It will probably happen. Eddie said that Saudi want this fight. And when they want something they make it sure that it will happen. Fury Usyk is happaning only because they want to pay big $$$. But I believe it will be after Fury/Usyk in Februar, Joshua will fight Wilder probably next summer. But before that Joshua vs Hrgovic in March if Joshua beats Wallin.

And yes, of course, if Hrgovic beats Mark de Mori hahahah

Yes, many IF clauses. IF Joshua beats Wallin. IF Joshua beats Hrgovic.

If Wally takes AJ the distance, AJ should retire.

Nobody stopped Wallin so far. Joshua is the one that was stopped already.

I believe Wallin beats Joshua.

I'll say it again, if Wally takes him the distance, he should retire on the spot. W or not.

The fact hes even bothering to stick around to fight guys like Wallin, Helenius, Franklin etc in his mid 30s and after the money hes made is kind of weird in the first place tbh. Joshua never seemed like the kind of guy who wouldnt be able to walk away from the sport and would stick around until 40 fighting for constantly diminishing returns. Then on top of that hes usually looking underwhelming against these guys too. His stock is probably lower after the Helenius and Franklin wins than it was at the start of the year and anything less than a quick demolition job on Wallin wont do anything for him either.

Wallin has never been stopped or decked.

If Joshua wins via stoppage, I believe that should be rated as a top level win.

If Joshua wins over the distance, and wins 90 to 95% of the rounds 'Like he does most of the time vs 95% of his opponents, that is also a top level win'.

Note: Wallin and Wilder have really been the two fighters who have pushed Fury the most. So this is a really good fight for Joshua in terms of building momentum.

I see people are still holding Joshua to a extremely high standard as a contender, Joshua is held to a higher standard than Fury even as a Champion 'Fury by your reasoning should of retired after his fight vs Ngannou. Not only did Fury get taken the distance vs Ngannou, he was decked and beaten up by a Novice professional boxer in his first ever fight.

These fighters just need to get the win, at this stage in their careers 'Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Usyk' Are having there own competition between themselves, people need to stop rating them against the generation of fighters below them.

Once the competition between them has reached it conclusion, other fighters can then step up to elite level etc.

Imagine saying those names, as if someone was supposed to be impressed, 10 years ago....This HW era makes me laugh

I'd be amazed if this HW era produces a single HOFer......
