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

[Bain01D]

Surely, you're having a laugh with this big dog comment, Martin won the belt because Glazkov knee or whatever went during the fight, Parker arguably lost to Ruiz and Hughie before he even got to facing AJ, then lastly Wlad hadn't won fight in 2 years or even had one in 17 months and people complained he was old/past his prime when Fury beat him...

If you’re beating the world title holders what more can you ask? Only two fighters better than what he has faced are arguably Wilder and Fury

My point is he will not be scared to fight either as you say

Arum and Hearn have this childish beef going on so yes, Arum will be reluctant to hype Hearns fighter unless it benefits him in some way. Joshuas performance was good but it was against a past prime boxer.

Boxers have their haters. The more more famous you are, more more haters you get. Joshua haters won't give him credit until he knocks out Fury and even if he does that some still won't. It is what it is.

Well said. I can't wait to read all the farfetched excuses delusional Fury's fanboys are going make after AJ has dismantled and knocked out Fury next summer.

Just ignore Rexy, Joshua could cure Covid and cancer and Rexy would say meh. He hates Joshua soooo much for some reason. I get it AJ has some very loud fanboys and I get it Hearn has put himself across too arrogant but Rexy is hardcore, there is nothing anybody can say, there is nothing Joshua could do that would bring out the none salty bitter side of Rexy.

I think Rexy is Lennox Lewis. You know, a bit of a twat.

So you were able to make sense of his rebuttal?

Hearn prefacing a statement with, "To be honest..." confirms he's trying to spin something.

I think Joshua got lots of props for the way he beat Vlad, getting off the canvas to take it late. But other than a couple other KOs, it doesn't feel like a stellar reign at the top.

If he fights Wilder twice, Fury twice, and goes 4-0, then absolutely Eddie will have a right to complain.

Reading this article, you would think Hearn was doing a foghorn leghorn impression. C'mon, these articles need to be written better.

Anyway, it sounds to me like Hearn and AJ fans for that matter, don't want AJ criticized. Arum said he wasn't impressed, which is a critique, not non credit. And Arum is actually not wrong. AJ was not impressive. He had a decent performance against a below average opponent which is very unimpressive. Also whats wrong with that? AJ did what he had to do, got the win, got the highlight reel knock out, his fans wet they pants his haters remain salty, such is boxing.

You AJ fans need to get over yourselves.

A below average opponent who has only ever been beaten by Klitschko despite fighting at the top level?

You need to get serious, your bias is ridiculous. How is beating a top 5 opponent who has beaten everyone in the sport bar Klitschko not impressive?

Pulev beats all Americans, only AJ, Fury and Usyk are better. Ridiculous comments you made.

AJ made Pulev look below average.

Joshua is P4P #1 and the GOAT heavyweight.

A little bit far, #1 in the division yeah ... I’ll accept that much

[Kezzer]

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

He has a 88% KO record whilst fighting the toughest opponents consistently (by some distance) of any of the heavyweights....

Don’t really need to say anymore than that.

[Kezzer]

He got all the credit he deserved for fighting bum Pulev in a fight no one cares about. He will get the same credit for the Usuck mis-match garbage. Fight Fury, Wilder or Ruiz those are real championship fights.

He’s already just beaten Ruiz... wilders previously turned down 100 mil and fury has been offered 50% just now.

As for Usyk being a mismatch, you clearly don’t know boxing if you think Usyk isn’t credible as an opponent.

[Kezzer]

Personality and style - AJ has neither, and that's his problem.

I guess that makes sense, it must be his lack of personality and style which has made him one of the most popular boxers of the sport; and the cash cow of the division.

[Boxviewer]

I think Joshua has evolved as a fighter. A loss will do that to any fighter. Now it seems like Joshua rather than go in for the kill will wait to see what a fighter brings to the table and once he does this over 3-4 rounds then he goes in for a stoppage.

The real elite fighters correct their mistakes after a defeat fight. AJ is getting more and more versatile in the ring, he can adjust and fight deferent styles if necessary now.

I can't wait to see AJ destroys Fury. Apart from the Wilder II fight Fury's fights are damn boring to watch. People are talking as if he's technically skilled as Floyd Mayweather, he isn't. He got hit by c level boxers more than often. AJ is an explosive combo boxer with a devastating power in both arms.
