    Lol, he's not making no decision 48 hours after the fight.

    Just let this play out, we will get our answers soon enough. It is pretty much a guarantee that Joshua will exercise his rematch clause.

      But wouldn't surprise me if aj thinks/said he needs some time off

      Without aj being aj hearn doesn't have much skin in the global boxing scene...aj was his ticket

      You'd think hearn would throw big money at Ruiz to get a rematch in the UK...but hearn might not feel confident that would be a good idea or even worth it....and as I said aj might want some time away now who knows
      He has arguably the best prospect in boxing, and a good stable overall. The sooner you accept that Hearn is going to be around for a long while I think you'll be a happier person for it. Your anti-Hearn/DAZN campaign is boring now

        I wouldnt rematch Joshua either lmao

        So whats happens if Uncle Haymon throws a ton of money for Ruiz to fight Wilder. Wilder KOs him, joshua would be forced to fight Wilder for whatever Wilder wants to give him
        Crazy how the tables may have potentially turned
        That won't happen. The rematch clause is water tight, courts will rule in AJ's favour.

          He has Haney...and Smith...and a 30+ year old Andrade.....he's not a major player without aj on top

          Andrade is from my home state so no one wants him to succeed more than me...he's 30+ without a big or signsture win and sulecki won't be it.....Smith doesn't have any major fights ahead unless canelo fights him

          Haney is a star in the making but that's gonna take time

            I don't really know what to say to someone who is armed with that little knowledge if you think that's their stable.

            The success with Joshua has opened doors, marquee fighters like that dont come along all that often, Joshua is a big fighter for them, but if you think they go under without Joshua, it's extremely wishful thinking.

            I'm sure Hearn will do with Andrade like he does with the majority of his fighters, make them more money and more popular than they were before. Andrade has been a bit unfortunate with things that neither him or Eddie could have seen coming.

            I'm just telling you that talent is talent, I know it when I see it, fighters, commentators, whatever. Eddie Hearn is a very talented promoter...I think he is sometimes over-eager with his matchmaking, an area where Top Rank and Frank Warren are still a bit more savy than Matchroom, but I'm sure that will come with experience.

            I reiterate my original post, you'll be happier if you stop fighting the fact that he's going to in and around the top of boxing for a long time.

              Not likely. And in addition to the rematch clause, there are reports that Hearn now has options on Ruiz next 3 fights.

                making Andrade more money and more popular than he was before is something just about anyone could do...because he hasn't done jack **** in his career and ive known him since he was a teenager....ive always been pulling for him.....but hes 30 plus with no signature win....at best he probably has a cashout with canelo in his future which is nice I guess....

                I didn't say hearn was literally going to disappear...but it will likely mostly be domestic...AJ was his key to being a power player...if AJ doesn't bounce back and get back up on top hearn is going to find it difficult.....watch how his DAZN relationship plays out if AJs career goes down the tubes....it wont be great for hearn

                hell be back to be successful domestically...but that's about it...and hearn wants to be a global player

                stop making it something more than it is...I don't care if hearn succeeds or not....im just giving my honest opinion...I know you want to act like hes the king of boxing...but he isn't....he has a DAZN deal mostly off the strength of AJ and them needing star power to their roster.....his relationship with them can go south real quick

                what else does he have? smith? hes a good fighter but no huge prospects for him unless canelo wants to fight him?

                Jacobs? Jacobs is a good fighter no doubt...whats he going to accomplish though with canelo in the division and at his age?

                haney is a future star no doubt....but that's going to take some time to build...and by the time haney is ready to make that leap hearn might not even have a foot in the US

                try being realistic about it....I know hearn is a hero to some.....but look at eddies own words months ago...he said he was finding the states to be more difficult than he anticipated and now his golden goose got his ass kicked in the US by a replacement

                  No it doesn't. Joshua needs to take time to really decide if this is really for him. Maybe take a soft touch in UK.

                  This might be Naseem Hamed all over again, but with a TKO instead of a lopsided decision.
