Ed looking a little bit strained in the face

Now, you're just being plain silly.

I expect better from you.

C'mon mate, play fair.

Although I do accept that your saltiness might possibly be induced due to THAT pathetic performance in Eindhoven.

 

As I said a couple of weeks ago - might have been in reply to yourself - don't blame the fighters, blame the system and those who vacate the belts.

 

Shades of Joshua v Franklin and Helenius last night in Eindhoven.

Ian Beale may be back in Eastenders soon should he lose on Sunday and replaced by Sonia.

Will be shocked to see Joshua v Wilder or Fury next.

Watch how Hearn works as it is the same sales pitch time and again whether it is Joshua or PED Benn.

Makes a list of names they are going after then fights a zero threat fighter.

Done it with Franklin, Whyte and Helenius.

I don't even see him as entertaining or exciting at all including his ramblings post fight.

 

Absolutely but it does not stop one from looking at the fighter's records, the context behind each fight and a pattern emerges where there is very careful low risk approach to opponents.

Joshua v Wilder should have happened 5 years ago followed by Fury when he made his comeback.

The CV is badly lacking marquee wins and the same for Wilder.

The Tyson and Lewis era was great in that these Warriors were scared of nobody and the big fights were made.

I question Fury's CV as well after ducking Usyk as that fight was the chance to go out as a living legend holding all 4 belts.

 

Agreed.

All 4 should have fought the other 3 numerous times.

Fury though has been problematic with both AJ and Usyk in securing fights. His next "fight" sums him up.

At least the other 3 (AJ, Usyk, Wilder) all fought and are trying to fight each other.

 

There aren't many top fighters in the heavyweight division thought outside the big 4 names. When Joshua fought Povetkin, Klitschko and Parker they were definitely in the top 5 at the time if not higher.

All these contenders right now aren't fighting each other making it hard for us to rate them. The next best outside of the big 4 is probably Hrgovic considering he beat Zhang and McKean. Even Joyce lost to Zhang and Bakole lost to Hunter. Sanchez's only notable win is Ajagba. Wallin's best win is Brezeale and he will likely lose to Gassiev in October.

 

Yes I think we need a WBSS for the Heavyweight Division where any duckers should be stripped of belts.

 

That really is the problem. There are no interesting fights bar AJ v Fury/Wilder and so on.

 

Barry Hearn knew 4 or 5 years ago that Wilder would have starched AJ and put the blockers on the fight and Wilders team got fed up of their lies and spin and before they knew it Fury had taken over division while AJ slid down the ladder getting beat time after time ... AJs career is over as king of division and a number of top 10 would beat him now and that's the end of Matchroom boxing and DAZN .... its been a **** show ,similar to the Benn situation.. instead of doing the right thing Matchroom constantly think they are above all the other promotions and TV channels

 

I'd love to see Big bang Zhiang iron out AJ ...OR Joyce etc

 

Looking rougher than daniel kinahan’s produce

 

I have had enough of Eddie Hearn interviews for this lifetime. His announcements that there will soon be an announcement just wore thin as did his totally self indulgent interview style.

 

We’re about to enter the 8th year of AJ trying to fight Wilder.

 

It's actually completely the other way around!

It's 8th year of AJ wriggling out of fighting Wilder ...
Hope this clears that up for you

 

I spose you think Bermane Stiverne is a genuine world champion lol/
