Wlad had a jab and grab style and Lewis was more skilled and had a better trainer than AJ, Lewis was faster at 34 than AJ is.
And mine is so does almost everyone else most of the time, and most are older than he is. It is a shitty division with one great fighter at the top, who Joshus will never beat. Everyone else, he has a shot.
I don't care about styles or h2h debates. Wlad and Lewis were at the peak of their careers at 34. Joshua should be also but isn't.
You saw him tonight, right? He is weak mentally for me, Wlad and Lewis had losses but came back stronger.
Hearn has a depreciating asset on his hands (that is quickly becoming a liability with his post-fight antics, first the tantrum against Usyk, now the weird handbags with Franklin). Hearn has a decision to make: 1) Keep putting Joshua in uninteresting match-ups against Franklin/Whyte-level opponents and risk AJ getting beaten again, finally killing off any fan interest in Fury-AJ or Wilder-AJ once and for all, Or 2) Cash out Joshua immediately against Fury or Wilder. If Hearn is smart, he cuts his losses while he can and takes the Saudi payday. No one cares about Joshua vs Whyte 2; the fans want to see him get iced by Wilder or Fury.
Nope, not sure what reasoning you are using here? AJ will never beat Usyk, Fury, Wilder or Joyce. And that is as of now, AJ is on a rapid decline.
