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

[JuanSkinner]

Someone found their voice. Feel sorry for AJ

[Sosay]

Okay, and Joshua cant claim to be number one until he beats the winner. But however you rank them after the fight, the Fury Wilder winner will be above Joshua.

So
#2 is Fury/Wilder winner
#3 Joshua
#4 Fury/Wilder loser

Read Hearns quote.

You're referring to a different quote. I'm referring to the quote I actually quoted, which is:

Someone who has one belt can’t say they are No 1 over someone who has three belts

Someone who has one belt can definitely say they are #1 over someone who has three belts. Like you mentioned, it's an opinion, but Hearn is trying to portray the opinion as unreasonable. However, since most of the experts actually agree that someone with one belt (or even no belts) can be #1 over someone with three belts, clearly it's not an unreasonable opinion.

[Bossman15]

Claims that aren't true? It's called an opinion. Until one of the beats Joshua then they can't definitively say they're above him. Ruiz was #1 in the rankings and Joshua beat him.

So Joshua getting knocked out in the first fight means nothing and for me I still feel both still will outbox and knock AJ out cold

“Someone who has one belt can’t say they are No 1 over someone who has three belts"

Like I've been said is who did Joshua beat to get those belts please explain

Hearn and Joshua have been crying for attention since Wilder and Fury have been getting it all.

[richardt]

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.

^^This is the best level approach to the situation. Agree with all of this.

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

Yep how he lost was bad. Especially to a guy that took the fight on short notice and dropped him four times still stings a bit. At least he got them belts back doe'

[FreezeIzGawd]

I feel sad for AJ.

He is just being forgotten by EVERYONE.

Look Baby Boy the winner will have 3 recognized titles and be UNDEFEATED

You on the other hand is best known for getting BEAT ALL UP AND DOWN ALL 5 BOROUGHS OF NY.....

SORRY SIR.....

AJ IS THIRD

BOTTOM LINE

[Nomadic]

Why not? Fury already beat Klitschko before AJ.
