[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eddie Hearn, promoter for heavyweight Anthony Joshua, did not hold back when discussing Deontay Wilder's upset loss to Joseph Parker. On Saturday night, Wilder and Joshua co-headlined a big event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Nobody can deny that now. Been saying wilder is washed for a year now.

Hearn being smart. It would be madness for Joshua to fight Wilder now, He would get no credit for a win and Wilder carries that huge power and speed which is always a danger. Wilder needs to get a big win over a top-10 guy for that fight to come back

This why I can't stand boxing. You get guys like Josh who fights good people time after time yet gets no respect, with people predicting wilder ko s Josh in one round?
Parker was favourite against deontay too if people only simply did their maths

Joshua hasn’t beat an elite heavyweight either. Klitschko was old and retiring and wasn’t elite. Joshua is better than wilder but not elite.

[James Hunt]

True!
Even Wilder's plastic biatch has more top HWs on her resume than him.
Allegedly!

Joshua isn't leagues above Wilder until he proves it, it's useless talking about what he thinks he's capable of, he's in a sport where he can "prove it" what he's capable of...

Too many clowns in boxing lately talk about what they're capable of instead of proving it, just like Wilder.

Parker was always capable of beating Wilder but no one really expected it, the bookies give like a 14% chance to win because rarely if ever does Parker put it all together on one night.

And because AJs pocket Ref made Parker look uncompetitive and Ian John Lewis allowed Whyte to hold on the ropes for a good 20 seconds whilst out on his feet to wind down the clock if it wasn't for them refs parker could've easily beat both but because it played out the way it did people dismiss Parker...

As did I to be fair his propensity to coast against less than stellar opposition, the inability to put all his impressive attributes to good use and apprehensiveness just seemed like a recipe for a Wilder KO.

Typical Hearn , Wilder looks rusty and jaded and probably shot as Fury looked v's Ngannou and he's out there shouting . It's a real shame he didn't' have this kind of enthusiasm when it WAS the fight that everyone wanted to see. This is the idiot who yesterday called Joshua the best heavyweight out there , coming off two back to back loses to Usyk .If he really knew the game and had that much confidence in 'the best heavyweight out there' he should have let the' best heavyweight' out there fight Wilder, who he says he's never rated! last night as everyone thought would happen in Saudi , instead he fought a fringe contender for half the money.Good luck to Joshua , I hope he has some confidence to up the ante and see if he is for real.

"Joseph did everything right tonight. I said in the build-up I don't rate him [Wilder]. Wilder had no idea, no clue. He lost 120-108, lost every round, and he's there in front of the referee at the end putting his hand up saying 'I've won the fight.' He's not right," Hearn told TNT Sports

Lol cant argue Eddie on this one.

A lot of bla bla bla, guy. Wasn't Wilder the one who rejected a whooping $100M offer to fight AJ for the undisputed championship? He admitted it on a footage. That guy was happy
knocking out tomato cans for years and did nothing to improve his craft because he believed too much in his own hype. That's why he got exposed once he stepped up.
