I suspect fresh-faced Edward will dissuade Joshua from retiring and urge him to fight twice a year for the next six or seven years just to get his money's worth on that new deal.
Hatton would need to stick the head on Eh Day's kneecaps to slow him down. If you ever meet Eh Day Hearn - he is huge
That's what having the Matchroom hype machine behind him to hoodwink the casuals has done for Joshua, I suppose.
Joshua is a good heavyweight, is certainly no bum. I gave him 3 rounds plus 1 drawn round against Usyk, and most on here seemed to see it 8-4 Usyk. He has beat many good fighters too, so is good. But he has been well manouvered, and is someway of Usyk, and in my opinion further away again from Fury standard. That lies the issue as many fans are hitting out as they now realise they have had a prolonged sales job done on them. As they were sure Joshua was the best in the world and their bubbles been well and truly burst.
Joshua was everything you wanted in a heavyweight he was vicious had only 1 thing on his mind and that was destruction and inflicting pain and yes he was very good at that up.to.a certain level. Unfortunately the ruiz defeat has completely and utterly ruined him, to.many people blowing smoke up.his arse for his rematch victory when the facts are ruiz was a disgrace coming in at that weight. Everybody told AJ he put on a boxing masterclass when infact all he had done was beat a fat man to the jab and outmoved a 22 stone lump with short arms!!! The lad has done himself proud,.made some serious life changing money for future generations of his family . However his boxing career is done at top level because he just doesn't have it mentally anymore. That fight with ruiz completely destroyed him.
Honestly fair play to him. The guy shat himself and said nothing. We all know who is the real ***** there...
i heard he tried to do the same with one of guys who did boxing asylum podcast. The guy said to him yeh let do this outside if you want. and hearn backed away. TBF i would do the same , the other guys a big lump and he is scottish
Was drinking in a hotel bar a few years ago and Eh Day was having a good crack with everybody. He is a very tall guy and must only be 3 inches shorter than Big Dave Price in height - money would be on Eh Day against the average Joe but don't think he would know what to do if faced with a Big Joan Fury type.
