Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder-Fury Winner Can't Say They Are No. 1 Above Joshua

[TMLT87]

For now the winner of Fury/Wilder has to be ranked no1. The banana skin situation with Ruiz hurt AJs stock (although he did redeem himself a fair bit with the rematch) but even ignoring that, Fury and Wilder are the other two of the divisions "big 3" right now, and they're fighting each other while Joshua is stuck dealing with whatevers left (and hes already fought a lot of the current top 10 tbf) so he just doesnt have a fight available that has the gravity of beating a Fury or Wilder right now.


Having said that, if Fury and Wilder mess around fighting Wallin and Breazele level guys after their fight while AJ keeps facing top 10 guys he could have a case for the no1 spot again in a year or so. I dont think any of this is truly settled until we finally get a unification fight anyway.

Why does Hearn always gotta chime in on everything that has nothing to do with him?

I could see Joshua at number 1 again with 2 more top 10 wins (If Wilder and Fury don't fight top competition).

[NaijaD]

As an AJ fan I disagree with Hearn, the winner of this fight is number 1 but they must fight Joshua at some point providing he doesn’t lose again before then.

I won’t support the winner saying “AJ is irrelevant” as Wilder has been doing. That’s nonsense and shouldn’t be encouraged.

Why does Hearn always chime in? Could have something to do with the millions it generates fore him, by buggery.

In case any of you Brits missed the Plant - Feigenbutz broadcast on Saturday, Lennox clearly stated that Fury and Wilder are 1 & 2.

Eddie has earned his position as the most disliked person in the sport since Don King. his inevitable downfall is coming. Meanwhile - #1 and #2 (in any order) will provide us a clear true heavyweight champion. The conqueror of Charles Martin is back of the line

Joshua may have the better resume but the loss to Ruiz hurts.

That’s probably not true anyway.

If Fury wins, he has the win over a younger and more dominant and active Wlad than the one AJ fought. He dethroned Wlad.

Then he would have a win over Wilder, and also most people felt he already beat Wilder.

AJ might have bigger quantity of B level wins, but his best win to date is a Fury leftover. Then if Fury add’s Wilder to it, which really he should have already, then there’s no contest on who has the better resume.

May be right there. Quality A wins > Quantity of B wins.

Hearn telling his tall tales again.
