    I've noticed that Earn does that. He puts in a couple of good names, then the name at the end that Joshua will actually be facing, which is normally crap.

    Why are people blaming Hearn for ? Hearn does not promote Usyk or Fury. He copromotes Hrgovic so he has to do the best job for him. It's up to Usyk and his team to negotiate out of this and make the Fury fight happen instead.

    The healthy the sport the better for all.

    Fury vs Usyk is brilliant for the sport

    Especially when Usyk wins and sends Fury into retirement…

    Let's just hope they take a nice chunk to step aside. The last thing we need is another paper champ

    How can they justify this Croat being mandatory?
    What a joke

    Got friends who have totally got bored of boxing, these sorts of things happening just kill the sport.

    Crawford vs Spence off
    AJs team ducking Fury because of his sponsorship deals
    Eddie lobbying for Hrgovic to stop the biggest fight in boxing
    Conor Benn being a raging drugs cheat stopping the CEJ fight

    That's more often done by Warren or PBC fighters tha done by Hearn.

    In particular AJ who often fights quality fighters - Wlad, Usyk Povetkin, Whyte, Parker, Ruiz and Pulev.

    I mean compare that to

    Wilder - Fury and Ortiz

    Fury - Wlad, Whyte and Wilder.

    Bivol and Beterbiev both wanting to fight each other but you just know the industry will throw spanners in the work.

    Yeah it is getting boring now. Hrgovic is in a great position because if Usyk vacates, with Ruiz and Wilder set to fight, he'll get a big payday against Joshua. This would set up Joshua fighting the winner of the two Usyk Fury fights for Undisputed which is probably Hearn's plan.

    Where would you place Hrgovic on Joshua's resume if he beats him ? A lot of people are underrating Hrgovic because of his performance against Zhang.

    Joshua has beaten Klitschko, who was old, inactive, coming off a loss and had one foot into reitrmenet - by the skin of his teeth.

    He was schooled by Usyk twice, who forum experts were calling too small and unimpressive vs Chisora and Witherspoon.

    He beat Povetkin who was old and had just been dropped by David Price, who is British level and was past it himself.

    Whyte was inexperienced, out of shape and injured.

    Parker was abysmal.

    Rice Pudding Jr battered Joshua, and Joshua only won the rematch due to Ruiz being a massive blob, even more obese than normal, beyond comprehension.

    Pulev was old and never any good.

    I love how you merge the three Wilder bouts into one. A trilogy for the ages, that will be replayed and remembered by all. And you put wins over Pulev, Parker and Ruiz over that. Nobody except the usual Joshua fanboys agree with you.

    The Benn v CEJ fight should never have been on in the first place. It emphasises everything that’s wrong with boxing, I’m glad it was cancelled.
