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

[DaNeutral.]

So you were able to make sense of his rebuttal?

Well no, it didn't make the least bit of sense. But that's the Boxing scene forum for you.

Arum desperately needs the 2 AJ v Fury fights as he’s lost a fortune backing Fury the self appointed “People’s Champion “ who was never a ticket seller or PPV fighter in the UK and bar Wilder 2 flopped in the US as well

It is a good win. Pulev would be Wilder`s best win, lol.

If he wants credit, he needs to fight the top guy in the division, not some 40 year old geriatric, on the verge of retirement.

Until AJ beats the best, he will always be the paper champ with no credibility.

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

Full credit to AJ for beating the fattest athlete in world sport, who forgot to train for the fight. Amazing endurance running from the blob for 12 rounds.

" I don’t know what Eddie was expecting. It was hardly a world beating performance was it?"

He was unbeaten other than Klitschko. How is it not a world class performance?

Who is better than Pulev? There are no American Heavyweights who could beat him, a couple of Brits who might and maybe Usyk. He has to be in the top 5, as there's nobody to push him out of the top 5.

You can only beat the best in the world as AJ is continuously doing, then when you make them look average, everyone says they were average and nothing special, he really can't win.

I would bet my house on every single one of those guys would beat Pulev. I also rate all of them ABOVE Pulev.

Pulev best known for getting sparked by WLAD, beating a fat uninspired chisora and a cut, young in over his head Hughie fury.

Dudes nothing at all. If you think so then you crazy bro. Only thing those guys I’ve wrote above miss that Pulev has is that L To Klitschko. Don’t try telling an actual boxer about talent and levels please sir. Thankyou. And that was just 11 names I’ve fired of top of my head. Chuck in Povetkin AND Joseph Parker and that is 14 I’ve given you!! my buddy!!! Pulev should rematch Bogdan Dinu!!

None what so ever? You don't get zero credit until you beat the number 1 in the division? Even if you are seen as the next best in the whole division by nearly everybody and hold the majority of titles in that division?

That's your call but I really hope you hold all fighters in all divisions to the same standard.

I thought was a perfect performance from Joshua. Exactly the right mix of caution and aggression.

No one sensible tries to bulldoze Pulev. When he didn't stop him in the 3rd round he went back to boxing until the time was right.

It's funny how everyone is ignoring that Pulev clearly quit in the 3rd round and turned his back. Imagine if AJ had done that... double standards on forum from certain people

AJ has quit plenty of times.

Ref would have run in and protected AJ if he had been hurt like that, and given him a nice tea break to recover mid round

Every sport on earth requires you to beat the best to be called a champion. That's literally the definition of a world champion.

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!

Even the rematch doesn’t make a difference, the fact that he lost at MSG has convinced American fans in particular he doesn’t have the minerals
