Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Joshua Loses Again, His Career is Not in a Great Place

Anyone who loses two on the bounce after being unbeaten is going to take a huge setback! Is that a surprise to anyone?

This undefeated **** had gotten to people’s heads. Louis, Ali, Holmes, Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman, Frazier, Johnson, Dempsey, Liston and both klitschkos all lost more than once and greats.

Aj loss is different as he mentally broke down and quit, it wasn’t about the physical beaten he taken even after fight was over mentally he was gone ...

... of course that AJ has nothing in common with all those cited above...

there is no way aj can fix those flaws in 4 or 5 months this is not a good look to throw him back in the fire like that without fully letting everything settle and fixing those big flaws.

Shhhh! You can’t mention that!
People don’t want to believe that about “Humble Josh”

hehe, we don't want to trigger any 'panic-attacks' do we?

Of course two loses will damage him. He won't have a belt or a title shot. And the fear factor has gone now - fighters will believe they can get to him.

But the people claiming he's just rubbish are forgetting some very recent history. He beat Klitschko, Parker, Povetkin. Rubbish fighters don't do that.

Assume he bounces back - yes, he still lacks a few things but he's got plenty going for him too. Still a top fighter.

I just hope Joshua does not go back to drug dealing.

He was notoriously bad at drug dealing. The standard of dealing in North London has been much better since he started boxing.

Two consecutive losses in a row to the same opponent would permanently ruin AJ's career as well as Matchroom Sport's. They are rolling the dice on this rematch.

I wouldn't mind Anthony Joshua taking an extended leave away from the sport in order to reevaluate and refresh himself. He is only 29 years old and there is time for him to make a comeback.

However, I would put this rematch off for a while and allow Joshua to get some rest and come back later to heal and recover from that TKO loss. This is a very high stakes game they are playing with Anthony Joshua's career.

I remember that, back in 1951, SRR took the Turpin rematch in two months...

I know having a Hearn Interview/article is good for clicks from the sheep. But fu€k Boxing Scene do you need to post 2 everyday? He is not that entertaining. This isn’t news, this is sensationalism.

absolutely spot on. There's much more to boxing than never ending articles about what this clown says

[champion4ever]

... win or lose, AJ is done, anyway...

I agree. He's been exposed. Moreover, if he doesn't make the necessary changes, adjustments or improvements. His career is ruined.
