Comments Thread For: Hearn Feels Joshua-Wilder Still Possible in Future - If It Makes Commercial Sense

[Blackstarr]

To mention that Joshua won the title from Charles Martin is hardly what one would call a obsession but in your opinion , .......it is , then over and out , no point in wasting any more time.

Yeah but AJ also won the vacant WBA title against Klitschko and the WBO title against Parker. So I’ll ask you again - what’s your obsession with singling out Martin? Why not mention the rest? It couldn’t possibly because be you have an agenda could it now? You absolute joke.

Because the unbiased facts are that AJ faced three guys to get his belts including Klitschko, rather than Fury facing just the one Klitschko to get them all, despite having tested positive for PEDs in his last fight.

Hearn has certainly done a good job financially for Joshua and himself , without any doubt but it makes me wonder why there's so much interest in Mike Tyson's exhibitions and proposed tussle with big gloves against sixty year old Holyfield .Is it that the level of heavyweight is so much less than yesteryear, I think so. Joshua won the title against I dare not mention his name twice in four years! and fought Wlad and povetkin both veterans , Parker who was not tested and proved to be just ok. Whyte who has just been levelled himself by a vet. and Takam who was levelled by Chisora .Not to mention being completely dismantled by a short fat Ruiz. Tyson for his part uses his size well but what he did against Wilder who can only punch I wouldn't fancy he could do to even a small but prime Holyfield and how would he cope with a great jab from Holmes , the fighting instinct and power of Lewis and the crushing fast power of Mike Tyson ! We can only watch what is there today but I believe a little prospective is required here as it's more right time right place. Joshua is certainly not up there, Fury might be but isn't yet.

You could literally pick apart anyone’s resume like this. Take Fury for example. He fought a veteran Klitschko in a fight he shouldn’t have even been allowed to take after testing positive for nandrolone, then bails on the rematches citing depression and it later transpires he was serving a suspension UKAD. He then beats a massively overrated Wilder who routinely loses rounds against club level fighters and had no signature win in over 40 fights, the most noticeable one being against an ageing fighter with no resume and on blood pressure meds. Fury’s resume outside those two isn’t even worth mentioning, but I’d point out that many argued he lost against the journeyman McDonnell and goes life and death with an ex-cruiser who had lost 3 of his previous 4 fights.

Where I’d agree with you though is that at this stage, none of the current crop can hold a candle against the 80s and 90s HWs.

Because it's not happening

Bias Aj fanboy sheep garbage.
Aj won't fight Wilder until he's at his preferred age range of 38-41 if ever.
In 18 Hearn wouldn't let Wilder near his chinny cash cow especially after Aj said in a sky interview with Johnny Nelson "i won't be rushed into the Wilder fight" when asked when he said"19 20 21"Hearn then said "2020 & Wilder might loose by then" That's when he lost me as a fan not wanting to prove he was the best against the best. Disrespecting the fans & the sport.

Then all the bs flat fee's happened & even after Wilder accepted a flat fee calling Eddie's bluff Eddie said "oh we can't get Wembly on that date now" then Aj boxed Pov on that date at Wembley xD & just b4 that they even turned down the 50 mill for 1 fight against Wilder claiming the offer wasn't real because there's no venue. No it was because there were no Aj A-side rematch clauses xD. & even right now Eddie is negotiating a deal with Fury with no venue!

2019 we had the dazn offer & why Wilder turned that down i dunno, he's a mug, but at the same time in 19(check forbes) Wilder earned 46 mill Aj 46.5 & Fury 57 mill. Dazn even said they got the offer wrong, all they had to do was make the offer 5050.

Don't get me wrong while it's obvious Aj & Eddie were happy to marinate hoping Wilder would loose i believe Wilder was as just bad as Aj in being happy they avoided each other to milk the belts calling themselves champ.

No 2 heavyweight belt holders have reigned as long as Wilder & Aj without fighting which is a disgrace. Personally i believe the main engineer of that was Hearn & even now he say's "if it makes commercial sense" Using money to block the fight again.

I have absolutely zero respect for Aj or Wilder the way they disrespect the fans & the sport & i pray Fury absolutely ruins Aj just like he did Wilder or out boxes the 2 time's! ray cist.

Exactly, wilder, Joshua, and fury are all making their money and any of them would be fine without an Edward Hearn.

AJ has also fought Klitschko, Povetkin, Parker and a bunch of other top-5 and top-10 ring rated opposition..what’s wrong with you and your obsession with Charles Martin?

Besides, Charles Martin is arguably better than nearly everyone on Fury’s ledger, barring 2-3 fighters so what’s your point exactly?

Since you care that much about the ring rankings, take a look at who is their rated champ hahahahah

I dont think Wilder ever fights at top level again.All the ****** excuses weve been laughing at hides alot of damage and other issues that will soon come out.

Wilder does seem to have some instability mentally. Can he get his shyte together to fight at top level again? Only time will tell!
