Comments Thread For: Hearn Predicts 'Massive 2024' For Anthony Joshua, Sees Filip Hrgovic as Next Foe

[JakeTheBoxer]

If this version Joshua shows up, he beats Hrgovic.

Lets calm down here and show some perspective , Joshua has recently lost , TWICE to Usyk which doesn't make him the best heavyweight in the world and if Fury beats Usyk it will put him even further down the list. Joshua was expected to win @4/1 on but he was dominant and I'm pleased they seem to have some confidence after a very shaky period. They will be pleased that Wilder looked finished but will regret not taking him on that show for twice the money. It's interesting that only a few months ago Joshua said he was not interested in titles and now he is ? The jury is out on Fury who may be shot like Wilder they were bruising fights with each other and took their toll. Joshua is the youngest of the three and only took one real hammering , so he may emerge up there , I just hope he's now got the confidence to see that his 'renewed confidence' is real.

Hrgovic, Ngannou, Zhang are all good fights for AJ in 2024.

It's a New Day
2024 is looking promising for the HeavyWeight Division

Now this guy is about championships again... Love how this narrative changes to suit.

A few months ago: "all AJ wants is titles"
Earlier this week: "it's Wilder we want"
Now: "it's all about championships"

Actual quotes?

Or is the second one from Hearn's interview where he absolutely didn't say what you have projected?

Criticise Anthony Joshua's ability all that you want but he has been incredibly predictable and consistent Reith his actions.

Win title
Unify titles
Defend titles
Immediately rematch for titles

What's not to like?

It’s almost as if the landscape has changed.

So he’s still to go for Wilder even though he just got shut out by a guy AJ already beat.

Nobody would be expecting Wilder to do the same if roles were reversed.

With wilder now finally unmasked as a beyond useless boxer i only really look forward to see joshua fighting fury. Hrgovic and Zhang matchups are OK but i'm not paying PPV cash for them.

He doesn't have a belt so zhang is not mandatory but a choice. if usky hadn't conned him way out of that body shot in the 2nd fight and zhang became his mando he would have fought him. i see no signs in his career where he is a ducker. i'm 100% sure if they fell he is back and he money is there he will fight zhang, fought him before. i saw lennox and vlad rebuild so i'm giving AJ the benefit.

There's no way to fight two at once. I'd certainly go for that belt first, so I can understand that. But it would be nice to see Zhang get a shot before he ages out, which could be right around the corner.

AJ vs Hrgovic would be a good one but I got hegovic via stoppage

Wilder "used to be" a formidable fighter, but not anymore. Aside from his age and obvious absence of sound boxing skills, it seems that he has lost the desire to box. I was disappointed in his effort against Parker.
