Comments Thread For: Hearn: Arum, Absolutely No One Wants To Give Anthony Joshua Any Credit

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eddie Hearn couldn't help but laugh. Anthony Joshua's promoter expected Bob Arum to at least give Joshua some credit for his impressive performance against Kubrat Pulev on Saturday night in London. Arum, Pulev's co-promoter, repeatedly predicted Pulev would ruin the Joshua-Tyson Fury fight by upsetting the IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion.

same thing happened against ruiz, a lot of people said he'd got stopped again, ruiz had wrong style for him, yet when joshua won 12-0 they tried to paint it as a bad thing. fact is UK fighters never get any credit, never have and never will

Will be interesting to see how people will disagree with Hearn here. But I'm sure they will.

Bob said Pulev will beat Joshua. Joshua takes him apart, and Bob thinks it was a poor performance.

Hearn is right, Joshua is getting better! It's just going to take time to forget how Ruiz was b1tch-slapping him in MSG! Time heals all wounds!

Yeah, you're right. Pulev, 39 and unranked until he became Joshua's mandatory, who hasn't had a good win in almost five years (And that win was Chisora) and who almost got stopped by Bogdan Dinu last year...

Joshua is P4P #1 and the GOAT heavyweight. My mistake.

Lol, Bob was hardly gonna write off Pulev before the bout was he? He promotes Pulev.

Onto Joshua, he did what he had to do. Atleast he moves a bit more I guess. I don’t know what Eddie was expecting. It was hardly a world beating performance was it? Maybe Hearn isn’t happy that people refuse to take Pulev as he sold him to the public!!

I have a feeling that Eddie isn’t too confident of Joshua winning fight one with fury, but he hopes that in that 1st fight, he learns enough to win the second, similar to how he done Ruiz.

Tyson fury ain’t Ruiz though. In fact one could argue that Joshua couldn’t ever beat a PRIME Ruiz Jr! As the guy who turned up in Saudi wasn’t prime!

[techliam]

What credit should we be giving Joshua for that win?

It’s ok, least he wasn’t stopped again

He didn’t look spectacular or anything so this narrative is kinda confusing

[Marvlus Marv]

It's a poor era. He could fight and beat the entire top 20 and only a couple of wins would stand out. Pulev is past his prime and was never more than a B- fighter but you can't blame AJ for that, ffs. He's not a prime Iron Mike but he got Pulev out of there in pretty good style.

[labash]

You guys are joker! How did he become Klitschko and became IBF mandatory. Haters gonna say somfyn. When he beat Fury or Usyx excuses gonna fly? If there had been any steroids fail like Fury, sure AJ will have been buried

[Max-Power]

It’s because Joshua is an absolute nib I tried to like him initially because I thought he would be exciting to watch because of some of the early in fights when he would stick his tongue out and be ****y but I have seen that he only does that to people he knows he can beat which we’re just the cab drivers early on so you can see for the most part it’s actually all an act it’s easy to see that he’s so scared of the big dogs he doesn’t want to even talk about the big dogs only talks about people he knows will beat him easily he doesn’t even have a style he fights some style that someone else came up with and it looks terrible
