are there any bigger cowards than Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn

It's all very well talking sense like this, but you know as well as I do it'll fall on deaf ears.

 

Fury's too busy securing himself and Usyk ridiculous paydays to retire on...meanwhile Usyk almost got himself bellied. Wilder has had a year off & AJ is trying to rebuild himself despite being humpty dumpty. Seems to me Fury is winning as usual in every department.

 

There is for sure too many **** thread on this forum...

No Joshua and Hearn are not coward. They actually create the best and the bravest career in hw division from long time.

When Joshua plan fighting Władimir Klitschko (doing job for Fury who have full pants) Wilder announced and make prepare to fight... Andrzej Wawrzyk... If You dont know who is Wawrzyk go check his fight with Povetkin for example...

How long Povetkin wait for mandatory fight with Joshua? He wait 2,5 years for Wilder fight and never get it end of the day. 2,5 years!!! As numero uno.
Whyte wait even longer and he never get the chance either.

Joshua take all fight, often very risk fight. Calling him and Eddie "biggest coward" is just too stupid...

He (Joshua) choose to fight dangerous guy who beat him in amateur (Whyte). Then he attack IBF titlle belong to Martin. Many ppl on Polish site write it was 50/50 fight and slick Martin can win this...
After that he choose undefeated Dominic Breazele. Later one easier fight with Molina because they already got BIG plans with Klitschko. Fight with Wlad was gigantic act od brave.
Next he want defend his titlle with mandatory Pulev but he had injury and Takam was choose. Next unife with Parker.
Again mandatory with Povetkin.
Ruiz and reematch. Reematch witch was fight that many boxing authority said he should not take.
Again mandatory- Pulev who was top 15 for sure (long time top 10).
And Usyk. He can easy drop WBO and say same what Fury do- no money in that fight. He dont run away. Same thing in reematch where all say it game over.

You clearly got dude with fantastic carrer WHO give us fans soo many great fight but You still calling him coward. WTF I Ask u talking about.

Maybe You start think and blame Wilder for this. He already admit on Twitter in past that he said no to Joshua fight even when it was much better option for him...

 

Truer words are seldom written here

As time marches on, that fight will continue to decay in importance. Maybe a late 30s AJ fights an early 40s Wilder

 

From a unification fight between two undefeated fighters at the top of their games, Joshua-Wilder is now nothing more than a battle of the also-rans. Could still be an entertaining fight though but it is looking more and more likely to never happen.

 

Tank, Charlos, Haney, Wilder etc

 

Joshua has been the underdog just once in his career: Usyk 2. He's fought away from home just once in his career: Ruiz 1. He's been a clear A-side in every single one of his fights. He's never stepped in the ring with Fury or Wilder and at this rate never will. Yet he's still managed to lose three times in 29 fights. Only one Joshua opponent in his last 10 fights since Wlad hasn't been a short non-puncher and that's Helenius.

Joshua is finished and Hearn has known it for a while.

 

Smart business decision.

 

It's not cowardice, it's business.

A fighter with a title will generate more revenue. If AJ fights Wilder as the IBF champion, it'll make more money.

 

Had he chosen Wilder the same people would accuse of him ducking Hrgovic - a more complete fighter in his primd, kedping reasonably active and also having a belt. With the belt Joshua will have a good bargaining position for undisputed should he win.

Beating Wilder would only prove he can beat Fury's stale left overs. Hrgovic is an actual step against a shot at undisputed should he win.

 

Joshua faced Wlad, Povetkin, Parker, Whyte and Usyk. Have signed to face both Wilder and Fury and now looks set to face Hrgovic.

Wilder has faced Fury, Ortiz and Stiverne and refused to sign to face Joshua in 2019.

Fury has faced Wlad, Wilder and Whyte and refused to sign with Usyk at first go.


Say what you will about Joshua but backing away from the right fights is not a valid criticism of the guy.

 

It’s very frustrating. But it’s just the business side of the sport.

Eddie knows that there’s a huge chance that Wilder will take out AJ. So he wants the fight because it’ll be huge, but he’ll also delay it for as long as possible too.

This would be a smart move for both of them.

Neither are cowards though.

One is a businessman, and the other is a fighter who will take on anybody. But his confidence has taken a hit of late. However, AJ will definitely want to fight Wilder, and he’ll also fight Fury if he beats Wilder.

 

No

Next question

 

It's amazing people still don't believe AJ ducked Fury and refuse to accept that he mostly likely ducked Wilder too, especially lately when even British pundits make Wilder the favourite.

All you cheerleaders who excuse it all, claiming it's a 'business', that's not how Hearn-J talk. They claim to want to fight the best and imply everyone is ducking them. If they were honest about milking their brand, and dodging threats, it would be one thing, but of course they are straight up frauds.
