    Joshua is very protected

    And it will remain that way

    Hearn starting to see the cracks

    And AJ is noticing Hearn is noticing

    This is why Joshua keeps emphasising that he needs time and is still learning.

    In what way has AJ been protected? Explain how a guy with 20 fights with the CV he has been protected?

    Wilder has fought 38 times yet AJ has fought the better level of opposition.

    Yet you want to try and claim AJ is being protected. Please

    Takam was already in camp & fit to fight given Eddie was going to put him on the monaco card if he wasent required for cardiff. All your doing is getting blinded by skys commentary thinking that AJ has cardio issues. The man stopped Vlad in the 11th round & although it was a premature stoppage on saturday, Takam was ready to take a knee in my opinion before the final bell. If he really had cardio issue, he wouldent still be carrying power that deep into the fight.

    Wilder is an embarrassment as champion & doesent deserve a shot at AJ unless he takes a real fight.

    aj aint really milking anything. the dude barely has any fights. he hit the scene with a big fight vs wlad early, really he was rushed into the fight but it all worked out . he barely came out alive , but luckily for him wlad was down hill which was why they fought him in the first place. molina and breazale were solid fights once again he doesnt have many fight n these guys are ranked. pulev was a legit fight it got cancelled and takam was legit as well. hes not milking anything.

    He has the best resume of all the belt holders, so I don't know how he is the one that's being protected.

    Oh c'mon, when GGG/Canelo was first seriously discussed 2 years ago, Canelo was the 4/1 underdog. Joshua however is the clear favourite over Wilder. It'll look terrible If Hearn avoids the fight this year.

    Povetkin is the only active boxer who has a decent rèsumè, i.e has fought a lot of legit opponents. Everyone else has a padded record.

    Hearn says Parker first , then Wilder.. Why not Wilder first? 80 , 000 people shouted Wilder when Joshua asked 'who necks'.... Then he rambled on about having to fulfill obligations cos he has multiple belts. But he had just taken care of his IBF mando and his WBA mando just got handed a ban. They even brought up Furys name to deflect away from Wilder.
    Joshua can fight Wilder next no problem , but its obvious Hearn doesn't want no part of him anytime soon. You have to call a spade a spade , its as clear as day that they are avoiding a fight with Wilder.

    Nah, it's Hearn trying to get money from Wilder disposing of Whyte first. Just trying to milk the situation for all its worth.

    That too , but its clear that Wilder isn't running through hoops to get the fight. He wants Joshua , not Whyte. And even if he does fight Whyte he should be granted his request that it will lead to an immediate clash with Joshua , but Hearn won't even give him that guarantee.

    The way i see it is Hearn wants Joshua to improve with a few more fights. They're certainly in no rush to face Wilder.

    For sure, though like I said I think it's more Hearn trying to be a money grabbing goblin as opposed to the not fancying AJ's chances.

    If they both continue winning by the end of 2018 the pressure will be there but not now.
    Hearn just sold out an 80k stadium, he's not worried Wilder quite yet.

    Wilder won Olympic bronze in 2008 and turned pro the same year, why has he been fighting bums for nine years?

    Joshua has done more in half the time and half the number of fights yet he is the one that's been protected.
