    Hence why Koogan plays nice with Warren.

    Okay do you agree with this statement, as it is the exact same comment.

    'Anthony Joshua has fought no one. Compare Lomachenkos first 13 fights with Joshua's first 13 fights and this will prove my point'

    It’s not that bad an argument. Joshua has been matched up against better opposition quicker in 22 fights than Lewis did. Lewis’ comments were stupid aswell, AJ shouldn’t have to beg for a fight with Wilder.

    Do you know that Lewis was 27 after 22 fights, and only 3 years into his pro career.

    Joshua is 29 and is 6 years into his pro career.

    There is no point in making comparisons after X number of fights especially in different eras.

    Like I said just compare Loma and they are both bums .

    If you want to argue that lomenchenko after 13 fights has a better resume than AJ did after 13 fights then yes go ahead.

    You have taken a quote out of context as Hearn was clearly arguing that AJ's resume after 22 fights was better than Lennoxs.

    Never hear anything about the Tyson - Hughie situation either. They put out what they’re told to.

    So you agree that Joshua is a ducker, based on that sentiment. Because that is what Hearn is deducing

    Ok since we’re getting into time. AJ had 22 fights just under 5 years and Lewis just under 3 and half. I’m not saying it makes you a better fighter in the end but I get the argument, AJ isn’t doing bad 22 fights into a career and doesn’t have to beg for a Wilder fight like Lewis said.

    His not saying that. Clearly every fighter is different and some can be moved quicker than others. However what Hearn is implying is that for someone with 22 fights on there record his cv really isn't bad at all no matter how hard some try to say it is.

    Lennox Lewis knows this. His a boxing man and his frustrations with fights not happening is clouding his judgement.

    Still an odd thing to say since Joshua was fast tracked and Lennox less so,splitting hairs while they learning the sport.Joshua got some way to go before he gets talked about in the same league as Lennox.

    Joshua’s best chemically enhanced win so far is a 41 year old Wladimir coming off a two year layoff. Before that he was pushed and gifted his way to an Olympic Gold. Let’s not blow his resume out of proportion Eddie.

    It’s good for 22 fights though.

    Lennox would do to Joshua what he did to Golota.
