Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn outlines plan for Anthony Joshua following successful surgery

[JakeTheBoxer]

Joshua is done. He only wants the last payday against Fury or Wilder.

Joshua is elite gatekeeper at this point. He stil knock Wilder out. Wilder is not even a gatekeeper.

I'm surprised AJ is still fighting tbh. Hes already made retirement money 10x over and never came across as the type of guy who would stick around past 35 racking up losses and fighting for diminished returns. I guess the even now vaguely lingering possibility of a Fury mega fight might have played a part.

Do you suppose that Eddie Hearn reads Boxing Scene forums??? Probably not. But he would learn, if he did, that John Q. Public understands too well what he's selling.

That is, of course, a highly decorated Olympic Champion, wunderkind young professional who was never afraid of a big challenge, who fought, and often beat, the best heavyweight lineup of his era, who exhibited both heart and ability; who captured the attention of the world and the heart of a nation in his time; but one who also demonstated a rather faulty chin and occasional lapses in concentration when he could ill-afford them; and has illustrated his weaknesses in detail.


Even now, Don't have a comeback fight against your American counterpart Wilder. Thought older, with far more fights under his belt and considerably more past his best; Wilder has always possessed the Kryptonyte that Joshua has shown to be vulnerable to. Wilder would KO Joshua when they were both on top, and would still manage it today. Doesn't mean that Wilder was a better fight; it just means that he's always had what it takes to terminate that match without warning.

Eddie will squeeze every last drop from his massive investment. That's the other thing we can count on.

Maybe briefly, only quickly to be reminded what a bunch of resentful losers reside in the online boxing community.

Only with the fighter's consent. You can choose not to buy it and spend your time raging against "casuals" with the myriad losers on here.

As I said, Fury will wait Joshua out.

Fury knows Joshua is still waiting on him only. he will let him wait. And Joshua will keep on pretending he is still one of active guys.

I doubt Fury would ever give Joshua the opportunity. He couldn't handle the loss.

As is, he can talk as much shït til the cows come home.

Desperate Team Joshy begging only plays into Fury's game.

Hearn is just pumping a washed up and psychologically damaged fighter in AJ. Typical pimp response to his former golden goose. The Hearn message to AJ..get out there and bring more money to daddy itch!

[Joseph]

First step in Hearn's plan should be a trip to Hobby Lobby for some retirement party supplies. Wal Mart will have the cake ready at 5:00.

After the next loss, AJ will have an angry outburst again, and will kill Hearn on live TV. You heard here first.

Well as it stands Joshua is above Fury in terms of historical status so that's up to Fury. When you look at resumes Joshua's is clearly superior especially since the wilder wins didn't age well at all. Even though Joshua might be finished a win over him would probably move Fury over him.
